Nursing or Chef? Which one should I go for?
Okay, I got two offer to continue my study. First is nursing, and another one is culinary arts. I always wanted to be a nurse. A great nurse, but at the same time, my passion for culinary arts is very high, and now I can't decide which one should I go for. I don't really mind about the salary, really. I just wanted to give a great public service. So, which course should I go and pick? Cooking for people or healing people? I'm 19 years old, Male from Terengganu, Malaysia.

Providing much needed health care to people is very important especially in Asian countries where a lot of people do not get proper health care. You may be able to combine the degrees and become a nutrition specialist. This way you have a medical profession that is mingled with your love of cooking, and you're providing both services to people.
2 :
If you really want to help people, go nursing all the way.

Both careers are noble. Both have opportunities to serve others. One pays 3-4 times higher wage. It may not matter now, but it will when you turn 60. Nursing is hard work but has more opportunity to advance to a teaching or desk job. Cooking is hard work and remains so. The cooks I know who work in a Metropolitan city make around $14/hr in a retirement home. It is hard, hard work. In the United States, you can't live on that salary. If you don't succeed as a cook in an upscale restaurant, you will have to take whatever job you can find. Do you plan to have a family? If so, you will need to support them. Why not go for the higher pay and use your culinary passion on weekends. Feed the poor????

What to do? Sri Lanka or Malaysia
What to do? Sri Lanka or Malaysia?
The three of us are going to do two weeks volunteering in Sri Lanka as we'll be qualified nurses this summer, we'll be based in Kandy. We were considering flying to Malaysia (found flights for £120) thinking of heading there for a week of our month, is that a good time to spend there? We'll be going to Sri Lanka mid August and Malaysia beginning of september? Any tips on both Sri Lanka and Malaysia? We've only got a month before starting work!

SRI LANKA - the city of 'Kandy' is in the hills so you'll have nice weather during that time. There's a very beautiful and historically important event happening in Kandy during August which is the "Kandy Perehara" (pageant) and it'll be a fantastic experience for you if you could come in time for that. General tips - cotton is the best type of garment to wear because of our sunny weather. generally shorts or tops with straps are OK for casual day- to- day wear but when visiting religious places it is mandatory to have your body covered as in you can wear pants or long skirts and tops with sleeves. food might be a little spicy for you but its tasty... long distance traveling is possible by bus, train or private vehicles which are for hire but the "trishaw" or "3 wheeler" - a small contraption with 3 wheels is the most common mode of transport. since you are based in Kandy walking will give you the best sight seeing though. Have mineral water which is freely available for sale or boiled and cooled water. even though waterborne deceases are very rare here its better to be safe. Ours is a beautiful country. We have everything!! Sunny weather, beautiful beaches, magnificent rain forests, historical sites, Mountains, Wild life parks... you name it we have it .. and being an Island, this is all within a few hundred KM!! So, I think you'll have many places to visit without going to any other country. The most important aspect of our country is our people!! you will not find a more friendlier, helpful and caring group of citizens with smiling faces to top it, anywhere in the world !! :-) oh and about 95% of us speak and understand some level of English!

I always encourage young girls to take up nursing. The staring pay may not be that good . But think of the long term. First of all, the course is free, normally sponsored by the hospital, A job is guranteed at the end of the course. Malaysian nurses are highly in demand from all over the world, many of them that I know are working in the Middle East, England, Australia, ect.. Don't forget that there's also oppotunities of you marrying a doctor. Bright future! Bright future, go for it.
