I'm going to look more into biomedical engineering. I need to see what a career is like in this field.

That's a good look. If you can see yourself being interested in the field, the pay potential is very high. I know a dude that has that degree and an mba, he is a ballin on another level. Has a half million dollar home, lambo, isf, and a supra. Wifey pushes an x5.

You can teach science with just a Bachelor's in most states I think. I thought about teaching biology, went down to the department to talk to them and they needed science teachers so bad they were near begging me to apply. It was sad.


What a big man you are for being able to turn them down.

For anyone considering Pre-Med:

Nova Science said:
Program Description

In 1987, NOVA's cameras began rolling to chronicle the lives of seven young, bright medical students embarking on the longest and most rigorous endeavor in higher education: the years-long journey to become a doctor. From their first days at Harvard Medical School to the present day, none of them could have predicted what it would take, personally and professionally. In "Doctors' Diaries," a two-hour special, NOVA returns to find out what sorts of doctors—and people—the seven young students have become. The program is the latest installment in the longest-running U.S. documentary of its kind.

In addition to the Editors' Picks features at left, you can read in-depth interviews and see more video in Doctors' Lives from the original program website. And learn more about various M.D. Specialties.

An interesting perspective of the medical field.

Damn good looks on this.

:wow: @ the marriages dropping like flies

:scusthov: @ how some of these docs are living.

The ER doc was fukkin BURNT lmao but hey when you genuinely love somethin...


And as expected, the anesthesiologist came out on top. :myman:


Very good doc. Appreciated the insight on their lives (or lack thereof) outside of their careers. Really makes you question if its worth it. But I guess there's always physician assistant if you want a better work life balance..

yeah I felt for old boy, who went through like 4 marriages.

:scusthov: @ how some of these docs are leavin.
Man it is what is. It's good for people to have a working knowledge of the medical field. Especially since some of them went into R&D and setting up charities. I consider being a doctor, once just sohh I could go back to South Africa and help out.

*I'd work for pennies* The feeling of helping someone who's ( sick / in need ) is indescribable.

The ER doc was fukkin BURNT lmao but hey when you genuinely love somethin...
Yeh, I felt for breh. He was a very bright dude too. You would never expect him to be a physician at first glance. It sucked that he got the run arounds. He was also buff at the beginging of the series but, over time turned into :flabbynsick:. This my biggest fear of getting too big off a bulk like semtex did....


And as expected, the anesthesiologist came out on top. :myman:
That dude was focused since day 1.....

Yeah, I couldn't be a doc :smh: @ how ol girl busted up crying, when the old man passed away right in front of her. :to:

I couldn't believe how they just let it air. I kept thinking to myself, watch this n1gga die. Moments later.... Bam!!! :wow:

One of my mentors is a PA. Breh works literally from 9-4; weekends off. The hospital is in a nice neighborhood. Breh makes over 100k, seems a like a lucrative career to me :manny:

Yea during one of my internships last summer I hung around the ortho department a lot. Got in real good with a PA. Works four 10hr days, weekends off, no on call hours. Been in the game for over 20 yrs. Banks over 200k. He loved everything about being a PA.

I asked him why he didn't opt for med school. My man gave it to me straight: "You see, these docs live their career whether they like it or not. They pretty much have to take their work home. Me personally, I wanna go home. And when I get there I wanna light up the BBQ, crack open a beer, and enjoy my life."

I see what he means after watching this video. :ehh:



PA = do Dr. work without Dr. paper work, for ~1/3rd the pay and ~1/3rd the schooling. Freedom to move to other specialties without going back to school.

Definitely keepin that option open :myman:

Damn graduating college and not even making 45k? And probably in debt too? I don't know how I'd be able to stomach that.
