Are You Serious?

I've been doing some math. Here goes:

Path #1: I get the JPA scholarship and continue to study A-Levels. Do my medical degree and come back to Malaysia to do my housemanship. That is 1.5 + 5 + 2 = 8.5 years before I become a certified medical officer. Which will make me a 27 year old doctor.

Path #2: I go for STPM and continue on to do a psychology or language degree. That is 1.5 + 4 = 5.5 years before I graduate. Which will make me a 24 year old penganggur.

Either way, I'm more or less screwed. Cheers to that :)
