no offense sa med tech, but me, i've gone through the whole thing. ang kalahi lang, i had different motives why i took up med tech. i only took it for the sake nga nice siya nga pre med course. and thinking that med school is still far away financially, i tried to work as one months after passing the board exam. and that's when i felt it wasn't the place for me, like 2 weeks after working in a supposed to be my favorite affiliation hospital, resign dayon ko coz i was not happy with the work.
i like the study after all, but i just could never see myself working as one. in the first place, i only took it aron ma gaan2 ang pag med. so like med jud ang focus. now i can't wait for medical school to begin.

another thing is, you can't make other people happy if you are not happy. so if you are not happy with becoming a med tech puhon, that won't make your parents happy either. you might please them but in the long run they will feel sorry for you. so think about it jud.
