yeah I was a bit vague I guess but. Well, I’m not expected to be doing a masters in research so much as like… it was my dream? When I was in undergrad, I wanted to do research and now that I’m in it, I don’t like it. I don’t like the career, I don’t want to commit to it. I don’t like my current project and though my lab is great in terms of academia, their way of working and the project focus doesnt align with me at all. I don’t want to leave and start another research program though because it’s 2 years and I don’t want to start over.

also, there’s like… no jobs in science with a bachelor’s degree. if you find one it’s not usually a good job and it’s not anywhere near my home city bc here you need a masters for ENTRY level… this whole field is not what I expected or wanted. I love science, I love medical science, and I want to work in it and learn and explore. But this isn’t it. It just feels like I’m not learning anything, I have no motivation or enthusiasm and no one (in my field) is supportive… and the career will take me nowhere I want.
