Your Future Job...

5th Entry - Your Future Job...

My dream was always being a neurosurgeon or forensic medical examiner, but as I am studying Biochemistry, it's not possible (I can't become a surgeon) so my choice would be a clinical neurologist researcher. But it's not a definitive choice, because I'm most likely becoming a teacher in some point of my life. I picture myself teaching, as I said, or trying to find some way to cure neurodegenerative diseases, working in labs with neurons and brains (but I ain't another doctor Frankestein, no way), and attending patients in a hospital.

My future laboratory? I hope not.

I would like to travel a lot, but it's not likely to happen, because it's kind of a static job -but I'm not hopeless- and if I could choose (because working in laboratories doesn't let much to choose), I prefer indoors, but in a quiet and greenish place (with a lot of gardens/plants, like the old Juan José hospital). The salary doesn't bother me, if it's enough to pay my taxes and some personal and familiar expenses.

My kind of a dream lab.

I'm thinking of studying a neuroscience major, and then another of clinical biochemistry too, but I didn't decide if here (in this faculty) or in another country (it could be in Spain, United States, England or Canada), because they cover all the field that I want to investigate. And then, do some little workshops or similar activities...

My plan was to explore If I could cure neurodegenerative diseases by implanting tissues cultivated in laboratories and promoting the union of them with our bodies, by the action of gold nano-particles and lasers, or at least discover the basis of future investigation in the field.

Some explanation of why I thought of using gold nano-particles. These nano-particles can change by triggering them with lasers once they're already into the cell.
