Nursing or Chef? Which one should I go for

 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????

Is it possible for you to be scheduled an interview with the US Embassy without the required documents

Is it possible for you to be scheduled an interview with the US Embassy without the required documents?
I know a registered nurse here in Malaysia who passed the NCLEX and everything and has been waiting for a working visa immigrant status petition for 7 years already, he said that his interview is a week from now but he is not sure if it will go through coz all his required documents are in the States and he still doesn't have the proof of job offer which he needs to present, he says it's in the agency's hands, is it even possible for you to be scheduled for interview without such documents in the first place?

Yes but they expect you to bring all the required documents with you on your interview. It is better to call the embassy and ask and reschedule it it's necessary.
