Thank you so much. It is so difficult because we don’t always have the luxury to choose what we want to do with our lives. In academia where I live you are employed as a lecturer meaning you will mainly give classes. But you are expected to do research as well but you are not paid for that part. So finding time is difficult. And I aim for research as this is where my passion is. But to be able to do research you need to be an employed lecturer. Struggles! Thanks again.
