Do I really want a PhD?
Like so many children growing up in so-called America as a South Asian, I was encouraged (if not manipulated) into wanting to become a doctor. It was as if my future wasn't my own, and was actually for others to decide. But as I grew older, I realize now that I cannot lay all of the blame at my parents--or even at my community's--feet.
