It's really the foreign med students who cheat on all of thier exams and get special treatment that are underqualified. As long as you have a white male doctor you'll be fine. They didn't need affirmative action to get in to med school so they know their stuff.

Also, you can work part time as an RN while you get your degree, so you're not financially hosed going out the gate.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

My wife is a doctor and one of the nerds in her med. school class said that he was inspired to get his doctorate because he was a big Star Trek fan and he thought it'd be fun to be a ship's doctor in real life. I guess the joke is on everyone else, though, since the military paid for his education while everyone else has to deal with 250k worth of loans :/

I'm gonna work hard and achieve some goals. Become a surgeon and save some lives. Women are going to be really impressed by my money and morals and I'll settle down with a really nice woman with a 4 year degree she'll use to raise our children as a stay at home mom.

Everyone around me is going to think I'm great because I make a lot of money and provide for my wife and kids.

every interaction with a nurse or doctor has been mostly positive with few exceptions; they were empathetic and invested in their jobs and worked their loving asses off dealing swith some crazy rear end poo poo. i may have been lucky, i dunno, but keep making sweeping generalizatons about crap and poop suck my dick

Pretty much this. Doctors are some of the biggest assholes you will ever meet. Especially surgeons. Also speak to some of them candidly and they will tell you that going to med school was the worst mistake of their life. Some of them are narcissists with a god complex, but I think it's more just that they hate their jobs and their lives.

Most of them go through multiple divorces and their families end up resenting them because they're never there. And when they are around they're huge dickheads. There are better ways to provide for a family. Medicine is a miserable job with good pay.

I've hung around with a lot of successful people and that's true for most of them, not just doctors.

They get this crazy drive and ambition when they're young and then later in life they realize it all sucks (subconsciously at least) and it's not worth the stress and dealing with other lovely people (because money makes you lovely 90% of the time) and they start drinking or doing drugs and yeah they're not very happy.

Wait so not working excessive overtime and being satisfied with mid tier income actually has the potential to make you happier, long term? I was raised with the idea that if you're not busting you're rear end, you're going to be vindictively destroyed by those who are.
