A letter to a younger Ainaa.

Dear Ainaa,
I know you have been struggling with choosing your career path. The traditional, 'professional' jobs don't really appeal to you. You never actually wanted to be a doctor, engineer, lawyer, or accountant. You had dreams of becoming a scientist but the laboratory environment was holding you down. But remember what they say: Do what you love. And your current job as a Research Consultant is proof of that. You may not work at an international oil & gas company. You might not get to wear a lab coat. But you get to build your soft skills. Your career path might be unconventional, but dream big, and that path is paved for you in the future. Take pride in what you do, and don't worry too much about not falling into the conventional categories.

Signed,
Your 4-month employed Ainaa.
