I never wanted to become a doctor, too much schooling. I try to look for the easy way out.

 

pharmacist school too much too. especially when new drugs come out :0

 

Medical is one of those fields where if you don't have the passion for it... don't be in it...

I know several doctors personally that have gotten only 3-4 days off in the passed 3-4 years :/ Efff that...

 

no way dude, unless they wanted to work like that.

 

a. dont place a thread in a common board if you only want a small handful of people to answer you, thats what PM is for

b. you fail the address the biggest factors here, do you enjoy your current job and is being a doctor something you would rather do over current situation. also factor current age and what it would cost you non-financially to do this. is there anyone you have to provide for? can you provide for them while attending school full time ....

if i enjoyed my current job the answer would be a resounding no ... good enjoyable jobs arent as easy to come by as one might think

 

They probably did... they have cool houses though, I helped draw them out h: These people were specialized, Neuro and Cardiac, I dunno if that makes a difference... h:

 

Do you feel a need to perform a more life fulfilling service? Would this fit?
If so then do it.

If its for financial reasons, forget it. Its like a 15 year process before you make jack shit as a doctor.

 

Depends on where you are in your life right now, and how old you are, and are you willing/able to withstand the rigors of med school, internship, and a residency. I think that will all take what about 6-8 years.

 

It comes down to doing what YOU want to do ultimately.

 

don't forget the fact that most likely you will be surrounded by kids in their early 20's who will probably outshine you ... some people that's a big hit on their ego
