LHC!!! A career mistake?

I am sure by this time you have heard all about LHC. What? You haven't? Well, LHC is The Large Hadron Collider, the biggest and the most complicated particle physics experiment ever seen! Now, you may ask, why should I be interested in, what is it, oh yeah, particle physics??? Because, I have realized over the time, that it is my first love (not in the sense of it being my boyfriend). I was reading the weekly review of Scientific American newsletter on 'How the Large Hadron Collider Might Change the Web', and in general about the Large Hadron Collider. And I realized that I am still in love with particle physics! I just couldn't stop reading all about particle physics and the coming revolutions in particle physics. Now I feel why the hell did I go for Molecular Biophysics! Sure it's a hot and emerging field, sure it has a lot of job opportunity (much more than particle physics) but its not for me! Even after spending 6 years in this line I don't quite feel at home in this field. Now it's like I am dangling between these two areas of Particle Physics (my love) and Molecular Biophysics (my reality)! I wish I could go back in time and continue with my love. Well, that's not gonna happen, so I have to make the best out of whatever is available at present. And thats when I stumbled upon Astrobiology! Lets see if I can make my future in this line...

Update: Just checked this Rap video on youtube, a must see :)
