I choose this program because I wanted to be one step above the traditional biotech training and not feel that I am only restricted to one field of study such as solely being stuck in medical applications of biotech. I am fortunate to have been accepted by this program, and to be part of a national innovative push for the nanosciences. So why do I feel so unmotivated... I feel like there is something missing to all this. There is nothing pushing me to show up to class and work on projects then just being obligated to do so.. I feel I am passionate about the subject, rather, this field supplies me with the tools I need to pursue things that I am passionate about. But then again, what am I passionate about?
I was passionate about teaching once, then that opportunity was stripped away from me.
I am passionate about biology and pursued a broad degree to explore this passion, but I am now suppose to choose a path (which in the end I chose a field similar to molecular biology, but I am unsure about my preparation within the field).
I think I am passionate about immunology, but as I write this, I am avoiding reading papers on immunology (is that a good sign?)
I want to explore water treatment, but in all honesty, I want to also explore anything that finally gets me into a lab... is that too much to ask? I am not even sure I like being in a lab for 8 hours a day because I have never been in one for more than 4 hours in a week.
Can you be passionate about just wanting to be done with this all so that you can get a better job?
Maybe that is where my passion lies, get through this today so that you can survive tomorrow..
