At the age of 17, when my parents asked me, after passing my higher secondary school, whether I wanted to 1 a medical college or an engineering college, I found myself between a rock and a hard place.
After all, 2 a spot at either type of college and getting a degree was no less 3 than landing on the moon unless one is really interested in the studies. I have nothing 4 medical or engineering education, but I was 5 really into dealing with numbers or working at a lab in the middle of the night 6 the rest of the world was busy sleeping. Thus, I made a judgment call—a 7 that didn't live up to the 8 of my parents. I decided to study business administration 9 preparing to become a medical doctor or an engineer. I guess, one could say that I was too 10 to get out of my comfort zone to serve humans by 11 a doctor, but that didn't exactly 12 me from securing a position at the 13 of my class as a business administration and management student.
Now that I 14 almost 10 years after making that choice, I believe it was one of the most 15 decisions I have ever made as it 16 me to become the person I am today. 17 , I passed my 4-year honors degree course with distinction, allowing me the 18 to work for some of the most distinguished companies around. Would I be able to gain such great experience had I studied at a medical or engineering college, given my 19 to study science and technology? I 20 it.
