While I love what i am studying...

...there are moments where i doubt the practicality of my degree. Sometimes i feel like i've made the wrong choice in life, and that i would've been better off doing a more standard degree, like engineering. Insinuations of doubt slither and worm their way into my mind, like "where am i going with this degree?" and "is my profession inferior to others" and "will i be able to get a good job". But today i just realised, i will play a very important role in this world. We (people of my profession) are doctors. Doctors for ecosystems. We identify and diagnose environmental problems, and we offer solutions to cure it. We are people who can save the environment. Medical graduates will save lives. We will save the world.
