education, career, culture, life...

ok so…i’m in grade 12…my last year of highschool. In a couple of months…we have to start applying to uni`s n stuff…
in other words…we have to choose wat programs we’ll be taking n thus…choosing wat we’ll be doing for the rest of our lives.
Lemme jus give sum background info about myself…
being a typical pakistani larki…ive alwayz wanted to be a doctor…i alwayz wanted to wear a white coat…have a stethoscope hanging from my neck…n be called Dr. Nida…or wateverrr…( :blush: ) …
kher…so ive basically grown up here in canada…well…kinda…like i came here when i was 10…n abhi i’m 17…so its been more than 7 years par i’m a TOTAL desi/pakistani larki…

so…having said all that…
jahan mein abhi khari hoon…i have like…3 choices…

one would be to study here…same city jis mein abhi mein hoon…n nothing would really change…i mean i’ll be comfortable with the environment…people…i’ll know wat to expect…etc…plus…its EASY to get into that uni…(atleast for me since i have a high average…compared to other ppl…Alhumdullilah)…
so sum plus points wud be…keh mein aaram se jaa sakti hoon…bus pakri ya drive ker ke ya jese bhi…it wont be so door…
n sum disadvantages would be…keh it’ll be a hundred times more expensive compared to a pakistani med. uni…
it’ll take me about…10 years…before i’m a poori doctor…so i’ll be 28 or 29…lol…

my second choice would be to go to karachi n study there…(planning on applying to D.O.W) …
now…my parents want me to study in pakistan…they dun say it saaf saaf…par i know they do…par wese if i make a faisla…they’ll never force me or anything…
i mean in the end…its gonna be me who decides wat to do…
so they think keh being a larki…its better for me to go back to my own country…learn my culture…know like…my rishtedaar n how it is to live there…
jabse hum yahan aaye hein…humaara humesha se plan tha keh when we r done highskool…we’ll move back…for good…
par now seeing all my friends thinking of applying to like…sum of the best uni’s ever…i wanna get an achi parhayee too…
n i know yahan ki parhayee is wayyyy better then wahan ki…cause wahan paanch saal mein hi ur done smack ..n yahan…pehle u take 4 years of pre-med…then 4 years of med…then 2 years residency…lol…

kher…par wahan keh faiday r keh…its wayyyy less expensive…my parents can easily afford it…
also…it takes 5 years sirf..meaning when i’m 25…im done…i’m a doctor…lol
AND…im close to my relatives…my culture…
n the most important thing…(i dont care if u guyz agree or not :halo: ) …is that its FUN!!! …,
yahan pe parhayee kerte waqt…basically the only thing u DO IS parhayee…

wahan pe…lets say if i go to dow…aaye din concerts hore hein college mein…exam dayz mein dostein rehne aari hain…uni trips pe jaare hein log…
i mean yahan bhi yeh sub hota hoga perrr i guess i like this fobbish style zyada…
i jus cant explain it…
lets jus say wahan parhne keh saath saath u can have SO much fun…

call me a fob or watever par i think pakistan is like 100 times more fun then like canada ya umreeka…

so wahan ki parhayee ITNI achi nahi hogi jitni yahan ki hai…PAR i can have so much more fun…which IS important to me…

my third choice will be to study in umreeka…:bummer:
my parents r thinking of moving there par abhi kuch pakka nahi hai…par studying there is…the mosttt expensive of all…
and time bhi utna hi lagra hai…9/10 years…
par obiously parhaee A1 hogi…i’ll be up to date with the latest technology/research…n my parhayee will be basically accepted…all around the world…(same with canada) …

kher…having said all that…
umm…i’ll jus remind u guyz keh im a LARKI…larkiyon ki shadi jaldi hoti hai larkon se…lol…
my parents r thinking of getting me married around 22/23…(no i dont WANT to marry early…par in a islamic way…its kinda good to marry at a yound age…so i wont create a problem or anything)…

now…they think keh mere liye behter hai if i move to karachi …cause then they can find an “apna jesa…karachi ka larka” for me…n get me married…n or sub pakistani larkiyon ki tarah i’ll jus start living in karachi…etc etc…
n everything will be perfect…

par me…i mean…i obviously DO think and CARE about all this family shadi ghar stuff…par the quality of parhayee i get is also very important to me…
parrr i mean…aik tarah se dekho to…i dunno who i’ll get married to…will he let me study after marrying? …n sub se barri cheez…even if i DO becum a doctor…will he let me work…cause jese keh hum sub ko pata hai…many pakistani guyz dun like to have their wives go to work waghera…
so meri yahan ki achi wali parhayee…kya sub bekaar jaaye gi? …jus cause i’m a larki…
( :frowning: )
n i know myself…if my hunsband sayz ghar mein bheto koee kaam waam kerne ki zaroorat nahi…mein khushi khushi bhet bhi jaoon gi :smack:.
like i said…i’m such a pakistani larki smack

kher…so ammi abbu think i shud jus go there n becum a doctor…
dunya ki sub se achi parhayee nahi to kya howa…bohat kum chance hai keh tum shadi ker ke APNE ghar ke liye kama rahi ho gi…it’ll be ur husband most probably…

now i dun know wat to doooooo :crying:

n NO i’m NOT thinking about shadis n stuff abhi se…its actually PARHAEE im thinking of…parr baad mein uska sub cheez per kya asar parre ga…consider kerni parteen hein sub cheezein na :frowning:

(personnally…i dun wanna marry a guy whose gonna live here…in canada/umreeka all his life…i mean its good if hes here for like parhayee n stuff…par i wanna live in pakistan when i’m done with parhayee n have my own family n stuff…) …

kher…so i need sum advices..:frowning:

aap log mere jagah hote to kya kerte :frowning: ..

ps: i know my threads r really long n boring :crying: ..parr…*sighz…

What a post, long but cute.

It's good that you are thinking in terms of the long run. You are mature enough to realize you want to some day settle down and get married. That's something some girls can't come to terms with, but that's another issue.

So I am assuming that a career is not your top most priority. Your parents are right, Karachi is the way to go. It will be more fun, less stress, and you will be done quicker. Plus you can still satisfy your hunger for knowledge and live out your dream of becoming a doctor. It would be very hard to study after marriage even if you get permission from your husband. There just so many new responsibilities and you can't be the typical carefree student.

I am studying in umreeka, it's all overrated. Don't sacrafice 10 years of life for that especially since you don't aim to be the breadwinner of your family. It ain't worth it.

aww…firstevel thanx for reading my itna lamba post n replying :flower1:

yeah …ur rite but then again…wat about all my dreamz of becoming sub se achi doctor…
balkeh aik baat bataaon :smiley: …i wanted to be a neuro surgeon..abhi do saal pehle tak…lol
par then i realized…i mean…being a PAKISTANI LARKI…its gonna be PRETTY hard…cause it takes almost ur whole life n there r only a few neuro surgeons in this world…lol

kher…u think i’ll be satisfied studying there…:frowning: …wahan ke colleges mein to saara equipment bhi nai hota :smack:

n another think i forgot to mention…
if i apply here…90% chance hai i’ll get into sum good uni…par there…its kinda hard for me to get into a uni…since when u apply…they deduct like 10% from ur average when converting ur marks…automatically…lol (thats when ur an international student)
kher…agar mene soch liya i’m gonna move there next year…n i DONT get accepted…then i’ll might have to apply to sum other unis as well in karachi…n phir ho sakta hai engineer bun jaoon ya kuch or hi bun jaoon :smack:

:frowning:

kher…thanx for ur advice :flower1:

move to karachi, find a rich doctor n live happily ever after :p j/k

btw one thing u didnt mention is the exam that u have to take to get the license, not everyone passes it and I actually know of ppl who have taken it couple of times...n when they come from pak it usually takes around a yr or two...so if u wanna come back here, its gonna be about 6 or 7 yrs total...but in the end, it all depends on you...wats more imp to u? its not like u wont have a career or a degree if u move to pakistan, but u might have a better one here.. more importantly, u havent been there for a while, theres a big difference between visiting and living in pakistan...will u be able to adjust?

haanji yeh sahi hai :blush:

TJ baji…umm..ok…let say i move there…study there…get married there…
i dun think i’ll ever want to cum back n settle here with my new family…
like i said…i wanna marry a guy jiska plan pakistan mein rehne ka ho :smack: ..
PLUS…if i’m married..have my own family…n move here…i dun think i’m gonna waste itne saal of my life jus to get the lisence to work…i mean…i’ll have my husband…lol…so thats not really an issue rite now…
about me getting adjusted there…
as in living i’m pretty sure it wont be hard for me…i’m pretty PAKISTANI…(trust me:p )…par jahan tak PARHAYEE ka sawal hai…ur rite…i dun even know wat to expect…wahan parhane ka kya style hoga…kitna kaam kerna hoga…i dun even know…:(…
par reh to mein lon gi aaram se…i love living there…n i WANT to spend my whole life in pakistan…:frowning:

par i DO know some1 who graduated from the same highskool as me n now shes in karachi studying medicine…so i mean…if she can do it then…:stuck_out_tongue:

hehehe :hug:

hehe i am pakistani too :bummer: jk :hug:

well if u know ur not gonna be supporting a family (which means ur degree is basically uselell hehe joking agian halo) and u know u will be living in pakistan, its pretty obvoius u really wanna move back there..then i say go for it..where theres a will, theres a way, plus ur a nerd I am sure u wont have trouble :stuck_out_tongue: plus my dad said dows a really good school and I actually know two ppl from there(now here) so if u need any info or anything let me know PLUS u can come to my wedding :stuck_out_tongue:

im not a nerd ok :hoonh:

and yes..i will need sum info :bummer:

:blush: ..u can cum to my wedding too :wink:

wow dat was one long post :mudhosh:

Now Rani pakistani…I did read your comments carefully and from the sound of it, you dont want to stay in Canada and want to move to Pakistan since you like the fob environment much better lol. The education has gotten a lot better in Pakistan recently and they do have good instruments and labs now. some good colleges in pakistan are DOW, fatimah jinnah and Aga khan. All these schools offer 5 year programs + residency years (2-5 years depending on your specialization). Since you are also considering getting married around 22-23, this choice will be better for you. However, incase you didnt know, Mcmaster university offers the med program in 3 years (you will be 24 when you graduate). Queen and western ontario universties also have very good med programs and they do accept students who have completed third year undergrad with the fourth year students.

so in the end, if you want to get married at a young age and live in pakistan then pakistan med colleges seem like a better idea.
