money doesn't matter. there's been an enormous emphasis in my house of late on the potential for my career to afford me a comfortable living and easy retirement. but thats not what im looking for.
"
now, in line with that explanation, i must explain myself. im not "in medicine" for the six-digits. my plans include seeking out a high profile surgical residency and fellowship in pediatrics, but then moving on to serve alongside the biggest movers and shakers of the world in doctors without borders, amigos de las americas, UNICEF, or like UNHCR. those positions don't pay much, i know, but they do provide all daily living expenses and a small stipend. so yeah, i might be poor with bad retirement benefits, but its not a big deal because of God. the monetary compensation problem--that would be a huge turn off to some of my relatives, i think, and dad suggested instead working at a hospital or something for like fifteen years prior to transferring to those field work organizations.but i know that God provides for everything, and so im not concerned about it. for the time being, i still plan on jumping straight into the most direct path towards assisting Gods children in the far un-reached parts of the world. hopefully ill have further indication in the future about what direction im to take.
now, for the time being though, as one of a higher socio-economic standing, i must not forget those who are less fortunate. regardless of how busy i am, its important that i continue doing volunteer work. and i should seiously tithe. starting this sunday, thats the most direct thing, i think that i can do(:
