Undecided

I am kinda caught between two streams, to stay or not to stay? that is the question. NLE exam is fast approaching, graduation just a few more sleeps away and i am scared to wake up one morning saying "hello world, what have you got for this bum today?".

When i was in High school, i didnt really pay that much attention to what i would be in the future probably because i was past and present-oriented, the hell with the future! (that was before though). As I live the last few days of my college life, i am now tormented by how the world will be after i walk out of my academe.

the options:

1. Migrate. Plans of moving to the US was always present in my life, i lived there before but didnt appreciate it much. Now, i am older and wiser, my view of the whole US thing changed. I am so excited to be there once again, but.. there has always been a down side to it.
2.Stay. Pinas will always be my home, and this is the one place i want to be in when i grow old. The option of working and staying here has its pros and cons, but economically speaking i think the cons outweigh the advantages.
3. Medicine. I have thought of it alot lately, I want to be a doctor. I dont care how people in my circle try to discourage me, i still want to pursue it. Problem with this is the finances and the time. It definitely cost a lot more than highschool and nursing combined, and its just not that practical. 4 years of nursing plus another 6 years of med school plus another 4 years of residency, how old will i be before i harbor the fruits of my labor.
4. Wait for my tide to come. The only option with no definite means nor end.

I am in a whirlpool of unorganized thoughts right now, but before i lead my self the real insanity, there is only one thing to do.. FOCUS on the present, the future can wait.
