b) that a surgical career will not allow me to fulfill my Islamic role
c) that I need to give in to "the system"
Keep in mind, this all came from someone who I generally like and respect.  |
WTH?
Whatever. Do whatever you feel is right
! If you feel that you can live a life that satisfies YOUR needs while being a surgeon, stick with it. Who cares what other people say? If we always did what others wanted us to do, half of us wouldn't be where we are now! I would probably be in law school ready to commit suicide
. Alhumdulillah, my parents caved and let me switch over to what I really wanted to do (too bad it took forever and wasted a lot of my time).
