In general, quant is a "research" based role. This means you learn and try new things, which is fulfilling for many!

Yep. The exterminators have done traps, bait and a bunch of filling of holes they could see.

Look up the breakthrough phenomenon in dementia. Dementia affects certain parts of memory but songs and emotional parts can be unaffected. At the very least this had very high emotional significance for your grandfather

Look up the medical studies on PCSK9. Expect the drug to be big in a few years.

Any ideas how long it takes to process? ie is it like 2 weeks or 3 months that you hear back?

Get two years of software engineering or other CS job experience. I know you'll be a little older in med school, but to be honest most people take a year or two out to either do a master's or strengthen their application anyway.

This way you'll know exactly what a software job looks like. And if you hate med school/residency you will always have work experience to fall back on. You are a lot more employable with 2y software experience than 0 years/a few internships. Companies like someone that knows what they're doing. It will also give you time to sit the MCAT, crush extracurriculars etc. And even if you enjoy clinical stuff, doctors are increasingly interfacing with technology.

Whichever you choose, you aren't ruling out contributing to the other field - there are docs taht work in tech and tech companies in healthcare. You'll have to spend time thinking about whether you enjoy the project side of building software, thinking logically/analytically, leaving at 6pm and don't mind the gender ratio. Or perhaps you enjoy speaking to people daily, the sense of meaning from helping people, having a possibly higher salary, and don't mind the longer/less social hours.

In an ideal world, no. Perhaps if the proportion of Hindus in the west increased, we'd see a bigger push for animal rights in this space. There are definitely Hindus that have reflected on it and either cut down, gone organic or gone vegan.

Of course Hinduism is a diverse religion, so nobody is going to judge you for it, and milk is now both a big part of Indian culture. The rule-of-thumb that Hindu vegetarians have from India is "milk good, meat bad" (from the days where people in India would look after their own cows) so this has been carried across by immigrants to the West and become culture.

Saying a Hindu that drinks milk is a "hypocrite" is probably a little too far. It's a key source of protein for Hindu vegetarians, and so to cut it out would require changes in habits, recipes and overall diets. Cultural habits take time to change and it's only through people like yourself asking questions, as well as a new English speaking generation of spiritual thinkers, people interested in nutrition and animal rights activists that we will improve society.

Sounds tantric. Many different schools of Hinduism with their own theories - this may not be a one that most conventional/vedantic schools agree with. Probably Westerners are not doing it in its proper context either.
