Career Prospects

I'm gonna be 18 soon. So scary. I still have absolutely no idea what I want to be when I'm older.
I'm most likely gonna study science in university (hope I actually can get in) since I can't give a care about memorising things like they do in arts. But the downside to studying science is the awful compulsory CHEMISTRY. GAHHHHHH.

My mother did talk to me a lot about choosing the right career. Plus last week the school had a "Career Week" where they brought us to various university campuses and also invited professionals from different professions to come and talk to us. Of course, everything was on a first-come-first-serve basis.

I managed to sign up for NUS (National University of Singapore) where the available 80 places were all taken in 10 mins. My schoolmates are so scary.

The environment there is awesome, but that's only natural for the top university in Singapore and top 3 in Asia. School fees are equally as awesome, of course (sarcasm).

I have a very short attention spam. I'm not able to stay interested in anything over a long period of time. My longest hobby is drawing, but that's only because I have nothing to do in school besides drawing anyway. The teachers will catch you if you do anything else. I like singing, but got so sick of it recently. It's all the same songs, over and over and over again. It's repetitive. It's uniform. It's boring.

I think I have a wild streak in me. I have seriously considered dyeing my hair purple or something. I want to dye my hair purple or something, but I won't because I definitely can't pull that off.

Back to career. I am aiming to get into NUS because it will have the best environment (not to mention library). But to enter NUS science faculty, I need STRAIGHT A'S. Righhttt. 

I want to choose a career where:
1. I will not compromise my values or my conscience.
2. I can help others.

So, law is out (we all know about the dark side of law). Biological engineering... I'm not so sure. It goes against nature. Plastic surgeon is out (I don't give a shit about physical beauty -you want it, go work out).

Seriously thinking about psychiatry. I do think that I have that something that makes people wanna spill their guts to me, but maybe that's just wishful thinking. Oh well. I still have a year or so to contemplate how I will shape the path towards the rest of my life.
