[slm] How you all doing? I am very excited cuz I am graduating from high school soon! Can’t wait to go to college. Pray for me brothers and sisters. I am quiet worried about my major/minor though. I need some suggestion… I was thinking to go as Pre-med major (biology), because I love science, especially biology. But then again I love Political science! I love to learn about laws/government, etc… so I was thinking to double major in biology/political science. My friends have been telling me that I am going to kill myself with too much studying! What do you guys think? My minor inshaallah is going to be Islamic studies/Middle east stu`ies. I am going to try not to change that. One more thing, if any one is willing to help me more about college please PM me. [wlm] |

[wlm] and [slm] My neighbor is a cancer specialist living in the US, he and another doctor friend of his were sharing that there is a dire need of Muslim female Gynecologists in the west, as you've got alot of interest in biology so i think it'll be a gr8 service to Ummah. Just a thought A brother in islaam. |

[slm] But then we also need more Muslim politicians to represent us... :/ tough descision sis. I would only advise you to take two majors if you genuinely love the subject for its own sake intstead of trying to please someone, so then you wont mind the extra work. If you think you cant choose, then maybe you should try istikhara :) ma asalaamah and take care |

[slm] Thank you guys. :) you were no help though...lol...j/k i guess i will have to decide...most likely i will go in as double major and work like a dog! hmm... what else can i do...since i love both of them. For our Ummah we need doctors, politician, journalists, and other educated muslims. Inshaallah i will try to do something, anything, i can for this Ummah...please pray for me... i need to be a good muslimah all the time. ameen. In my state, in usa, we started a volunteer group to help out the detainees, the detainees after sept 11th. as you guys know, most of them are being held without any sensable reason. inshaallah i am going to learn more about immigration law and all, to somehow help those who get picked up later by the FBI or government official. if anyone else want to know more about this organization you could PM me. :) Thank you brother Muhammad Ahmed for your thought. Physics and maths double!! ::) wow! :) i have physics now and i dont' like it! and as for math...its ok...i like it but not as much as science. i will need math though if i major in science. :) btw, whats up with guys?! most of them like physics. :P ma salaama |

[slm] i'm in the same situation as you too :) I like science 8) so i've decided i'm going to go into Biology, physics, chemistry and maths for a-levels and then i'll probably drop physics, cause here we start of with 4 subjects and then after a year we can drop one of them. I'm thinking of being a pharmacist, hope it'll be easy Inshallah. :-* btw physics is hard! you guys must be wayy clever Mashallah :) sis IMuslim_4Ever May Allah make things are easy for you and help you make the right choices :-* [wlm] :-) |

[slm] Do something that you know you can continue after you get married. A lot of sisters do medicine and then do not practice, which I think is a pity. A lot of sisters do biology, chemistry, physics, end up with a BSc, and then end up doing nothing with it. Again, I view it as a pity. I would always suggest that you study something you find interesting, but something which you can find a way to implement later on. Plus, I must say, as Muslims, we lack representation in certain fields, so that might be something you might want to think about. I feel very strongly about this matter, but I think that my opinion can (and should) be ignored most of the time. I come from a family that is all engineers, doctors, or mathematicians… I find that severely constricting, and I think of it as a confinement. Anywayyyy, the point is, do what you love, and do it well, and find a way to make it worthwhile to more than yourself, inshaAllah. May Allah guide you towards what is best. Ameen. Wasalaam. |

[slm] muslim4ever - if you are really passionate about the two subjects you are trying to decide between right now, then i definitely definitely, with no doubts, suggest doing a double major. its hard work, but if you're enjoying what you're doing, its amazing. :) im doing a double major right now and i love it. i will warn you that it is really stressful come exam time, because you dont have the few bird courses that others usually have, since yours will all be mandatory, but really, i totally recommend doing it if you love both fields. if anything, it'll open up doors for you in the future, as mentionned earlier, we definitely need more muslims in the field of politics.... and its such a fascinating field that really, you just lose yourself in it...... as long as your up for the challenge, i recommend it completely. and if worse comes to worse and you realize later on that its too much, drop one down to a minor instead... :) good luck :) fi aman illah. |
