Hey to all the people who have responded to this thread. Many thanks, but I've decided to pursue medicine anyway.
Parents sorta swayed me away from being a researcher, saying that it lacks prospect and stuff like that. I guess it would be preferable not to pursue it.
I have a friend who have parents who are doctors and have always wanted to be a doctor, but went ahead to pursue being a researcher instead! She's taking biomedical sciences. Ah... oh well, lets see where this takes me.
thanks again
