Don't forget. Remember what is important to succeed in any profession. My mind has been restless trying to figure out what I want to do in life. I am in IT and management consulting right now and I believe that I do not enjoy work as much as I should. I feel like my passion lies somewhere else within the healthcare industry and that I need to find it and pursue the career that would bring me the most satisfaction. Add to that the desire of making good money and being in a somewhat glamorous setting and I find myself asking the question of what is it that I really should be doing. I have narrowed it down to two choices:

1. Masters in Biomedical Engineering
Pros: 1 yr program that draws upon my past education and skills, good chances of getting in the program, can satiate my desire to be in medical and technical fields simultaneously, good work-life balance after the job
Cons: Not as lucrative as Investment banking, will not provide direct patient/customer contact, still have to deal with corporate bureacracy.

2. Physician Assistant
Pros: provides direct customer/patient contact, good work-life balance, respectable job, less corporate bureacracy, emotionally fulfilling
Cons: Requires several months of hands-on medical experience which I lack, not much use of math or engineering skills, disease filled work environment
