I have plans to take up MLT or biomedicine bit im not too clear about the pathway

MLT is the worst career choice ever

Even 10 years ago, turnover rate was so high in the bp lab I interned in

Pay after 10 years still remains the same - +- 1800 per MONTH for degree holder and even in COVID times, some fuckwit MLT company still DARE to put out job listing for 10 MYR / HOUR. 10 MYR/Hour to risk myself in covid infection? No thanks.

Heck you don't even need a degree to do MLT, a diploma would do

All I can say is, you are still young, still got time to explore what you wanted to do in future

Your career choice right now will change in the future

I went from wanting to do medicine to taking biomed then after grad change to wanting to do molecular biology (biotech) with my masters focusing on that, phd project a totally unrelated field from molecular biology and finally to my current career choice of doing data analytics post phd (still haven't grad yet).

It took me close to 10 years to decide on what I wanted to do, but I didn't regret any of my choice because it took me eventually to what I am satisfied of now.

10 years ago, you tell me to do computer science, I would answer the same as you did. Heck, I skipped all my bioinformatics lectures during my degree time, but now I am doing bioinformatics.

I think overworked housemen are universal

I remembered I have a friend who did same in Singapore, he told me he worked at hospital 72 hours in a row, didn't go back home to sleep, went into one of the rooms with makeshift beds to have short mini sleep then go back to work.

The difference is that in Singapore, you only get treated like shit (actually not really also, from what I hear from the Singaporean half of my study group) for only one year. In Malaysia, it's two.
