I was up for studying medicine, I even took pre-med courses for a year, then I realized the lifelong dedication I'd have to have working in this field, which I could have, but I'd feel like missing out on something. For those reasons, focusing solely on biology and laboratory work would make me long for something more. I don't buy the purely materialistic view of evolution, nature and human, I think there is a deeper meaning to the way nature has organized that we shall find in order to answer to our current issues, may they be political, existential, social and environmental. I need human contact, getting to know people and being devoted to them, and above all, I need change I don't see myself locked up in a laboratory for the following reasons: I'd like to conduct research on that matter, but I'd like to be close to people as well. I have the intuition though, that our current approach to those issues is narrow and that the research would progress a lot in combining a philosophical approach on that matter, with a psychological, anthropological and scientific one. I've always wondered about the mysteries of human evolution, or "how on earth did we rise from the darkness of our caves to become such a successful species? What prompted the emergence of consciousness?" and that sort of questions. My closest friends and family have always known me as perpetually indecisive, yet adventurous, and my opinion is that I just have a broad set of interests that I'm still trying to combine. I've been thinking a lot lately, what could be the right fit for me.
