ii) It was a dream to go work in a polar research station for a season. I've already turned an offer down last year and they've reoffered this year which I've accepted. It was a dream come true, I've always found the polar regions fascinating. But, this was just a six month jolly, not a real job. Whereas medical school would offer me security, a career, fulfill a lifelong dream.
