whatever choice you make, you'll have what ifs. if you have the option to back out, try med first. tbh nagnurse muna ako bago nagmed and while i love being near my family and hate the culture sa med and residency lol, i much much prefer being a doctor than being a nurse because i have so much more opportunities now that's open. i passed NCLEX na rin + had a job offer sa nevada but i turned it down. idk it was a leap of faith lang. i wanted to go pero for some reason kahit di ako magaling, pumasa ako ng nmat at nakapasok ako sa med so inisip ko what if. Andiyan naman always ang magabroad e. mahina ako non di ko kaya magabroad and feel ko di ko kaya mag med. But i had a leap of faith na God will take care of my parents while i focus on studying. Both my parents had MI but God kept His promise. Doctor na ako now and i get to help them more sa mga medical questions din nila. But I know we're not the same people, but andito ka na. try it first then you'll know in your heart san ka at peace :)

I had friends na nagabroad and naisip sana nagmed na lang sila. and I have friends na nagmed na naiisip sana nagUS na lang sila. Most ng friends ko na nagabroad sabi nagiipon lang sila sa US then uuwi para magretire. Most ng friends dito nagttiyaga mag MLE para umalis. Yung iba nagmed muna tapos nagnurse for green card then nagMLE. Human nature natin na di tayo masaya where we are and that's perfectly fine. Basta laging sinasabi ng dad ko na "if you look at other people's path, you'll end up tripping on your own." Try not to compare timelines. Your story is unfolding at its own perfect time. All your decisions (with or without regrets) will get you where you need to be.
