>Having a high IQ
>Not becoming a doctor

I seriously hope you guys don't do this. Why are you cucking yourself out of the most well-paid, well-respected, secure, panty-wetting career in the entire world? Literal autists are becoming doctors. All you have to do is memorize a bunch of shit. Seriously, it's the brute force route to riches and bitches.

Not to mention luck by the way of professional contacts in conjunction with brown nosing. I'm 30 and I know many fledgling doctorsin 500k debt

>>1355976

Yeah, but once you start earning that money, you quickly overcome the opportunity cost and overtake your peers who chose to work lower paying careers right out of the gate. Delayed gratification wins in this case.

Doctors also work the most hours out of any career. Good luck enjoying all that money without any free time.

>I know many fledgling doctorsin 500k debt

They fucked up. I'm in medical school, and I'm going to graduate with about $160,000 of total debt, which will be a joke to pay off considering the fact that I'm gonna specialize in radiology ($375K/year)...I guess I'm not the typical case though because I come from a poor family, so I got a good amount of financial aid scholarship from my med school ($72,000 total over the four years).
>>
>>1355973
Because I work at Morgan Stanley and will make much, much more than that. And no one will know.

Holy fuckin shit, nope.

Im not gonna go into all the details, but being a doctor isn't the best money decision you can make.

I know a doctor who wishes he had done HVAC instead and then run an HVAC company. Shits fuckin simple Ricky.

>>1355973
I'm planning on becoming a doctor but it's way harder for me since I'm an ORM (Asian). Also my grades/test scores are stellar and I'm sure they will be in college but I heard that you need significant amounts of meaningful EC's (shadowing, volunteering, research, leadership) to even be considered for medical school. Not to mention the interview skills you need to have when they call you in. Do you have any tips for me? All I truly want to be is a doctor.
>>
>>1356033
If you have stellar grades and MCAT plus basic EC's, you will be guaranteed to get a seat somewhere if you apply broadly (20+ schools), even as an Asian (btw I think the affirmative action stuff is total bullshit)...But yeah, unless you are gunning for Top 10 schools, I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure you maintain a high GPA and slam-dunk the MCAT...You already listed the EC's you need to have. Sounds like you know your stuff, man. You shouldn't have any problem getting in somewhere. Just make sure you have great essays (write them well in advance) and apply as early as possible. You should be submitting your primary app on the first day it opens for submission..and you should be turning in your secondary apps within 1-2 weeks of getting them MAX...If you go on studentdoctor.net (SDN), you can find previous years supplementary apps for each school and pre-write your secondary essays (they dont change much from year to year)...SDN also has a an interview feedback page where you can read interview questions that kids got. That's a good way to prep for the interviews.

Thanks man. Also, how did you personally answer when you were asked about why you wanted to become a doctor and how did you show your passion for medicine in your interviews?

I'm an immigrant, so for me it was very personal, and this may not be applicable to you, but I said how going through hardship in my own life and overcoming diversity made me want to give back to other people who may be struggling. My struggle gave me empathy. Whatever you say in yours, try to tie it back to the concept of having empathy for others. That's the key.

>>
>>1355973
Premed here.

I'm going into a tech job, which gets 80k a year starting, which I think is reasonable for an associates degree.

But here's the deal: Being a doctor isn't all its cracked up to be. First you have to go to school for a significant chunk of your life, incurring debt like crazy. Then, you lose large chunks of your pay to mandatory insurance payments. After that you get to choose; do you open your own practice (with all the initial investments of buying machines, getting space, setting shit up, hiring people, etc) or do you get hired somewhere and get paid a quarter of what they show on that chart for the first 7 or 8 years? Not to mention you end up working huge hours and almost always being on call if you work for a hospital. Enjoy being woken up at 3am because a patient just had his Patellar Tendon snap and his knee cap is now lodged somewhere in his thigh.

And thats all ignoring all the social crap you have to deal with. Getting people to back you up, doing shadowing, getting experience, competing against other students,etc.

When you work out the amount of effort put into it becoming a doctor is not worth it.

You only really start "living" life about 30 years of age.

Undergrad is HECTIC AS FUCK with how competitive it is to get a good enough gpa to be competitive. Then getting competitive MCAT scores.

Then... Med school, hard as fuck needless to say you won't be partying or enjoyign yourslef much. Then... Residency, oh boy. Enjoy making $60k or something while working 60 hours a week

Then, you're a doctor. Stressful as hell job, lots of loans to pay back. And you're around 30 years of age. Not. Worth it

Second highest suicide rate by proffesion

Also those hours , studying + school if you just got some mediocre blue collar job with a bachelors and put in the same hours and then socked that money away into passive investments then by the time the other guy finished md plus residency and actually started working you would have like...a million dollar nestegg

Being an md for financial reasons is super retarded from a return on investment point of view
>>
>>1356376
You forgot the fact that half that shit is also changing constantly, either in nomenclature or in what is considered Fact. So many things in the human body have at least two, sometimes more names. And what name is acceptable can change over time and you'll meet old men and young students who won't know what they fuck you're talking about. The old doc knows it as the Ampulla of Vater because he's left over from the time when everything was named after shitty german anatomy imperialists who got off on naming every knob and blob after themselves. Meanwhile the kids call it the hepatopancreatic ampulla because we're trying to transition into a more self explanatory and straight forward system. Except there's no clear concensus on how that works so you get dozens of different systems and people can't fucking agree on anything.

There are 3 fucking major schools on exactly how you should classify the organization of hepatocytes in the liver. One is based on pig liver and isn't very well analogous to human liver AND YET is still used a lot. Another does some stupid fucking triangle with the Triad vessels, but it doesn't describe shit. And the third has fucking concentric rings and vaguely defined zones of influence.

Medicine is an infinitely expanding fractal hell of shit you don't know that is made up of hundreds of individual things you don't know, and so on and so forth for eternity. There's a reason most general practitioners are actually really shitty doctors and why there are so many specialties. It is simply too much shit for one person to ever remember.
>>
>>1355973
>the brute force route to riches and bitches.

Except again , lets use an rn for example

4 years and boom out of school working then they work the same hours as the md who still hasnt even started residency and by the time the doctor can practice our "brute force" registerd nurse has a million dollar nest egg

I'm premed for a tech job. I just run a machine and get paid 80k a year because the medical industry is bananas. But everyone, even us techs, has to learn some A&P.

You know what they don't tell you about in the pamphlet? That one awkward lab class where you're all just walking around holding cups of your own piss so you can do tests for glomerular filtration functionality.
>>
>>1356348
Someone went through that much trouble just to shove it down doctors faces.
>>1355973
You average around 300k in debt for medical schools and you work an extra 2-6 years in residency for shit pay while your loans are accumulating interest. Not to mention you'll work in some network where your pay is capped and half your income is going toward malpractice insurance for the day you get sued by a fat American who say you called him fat. For all that hassle I rather get a two PhD; one in EE and the other in physics. Hard but a much better life than being a doctor. Plus these days RN know much more than MDs. Only specialized MDs know more but they are few in numbers. RN only need a two or four year degree and its welcoming men with open arms because they need them for the heavy lifting(fat people). They make on median 75k but good RN make around 135k.
>>
>>1356429

How did you get a job like that? It can't be that simple of a job if you're getting paid 80k.

The job I do, or I'm training for at least, is basically running a machine. Like a CAT scan. You have to be specially trained to use them, both in the science behind it and in the actual operation of the machine.

It's about 3 years of schooling, 2 of which is the program itself. Mine lets in 10 people each year and the program itself is pretty fucking intense. But it's quick, only costs about 1k each semester, and my job is related, mostly, to cancer. Which is a growth industry; pardon the pun.

Because by the time you get that 300k salary, you'll already be 30 after 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of med school, and another 4 years of residency. Don't forget that during those 12 years, you'll be pulling 60-80 hour workweeks.

I'll already have enough money to retire by 30 with my bachelor's in engineering.

What did you go to school for/what is your job title?

Shit, is that graph accurate? In the UK doctors start on about £22-30k and progress up to £50-80k, depending on specialisation. You'd only be hitting £100k+ if you were a consultant or senior management or something like that. If that's the average salary in the US, you guys are lucky.
>>
>>1355973
Because it's boring. I stress about my job market everyday. If I wanted a job more than I wanted to be interested in my work, I would have studied analytical chemistry. I would rather shoot myself in the head than study analytical.

You're going to find it's not worth all that money. Working in a place where the sick and dying congregate, long long hours, years of dedication to your field, all for a few nice cars and a big house? Find another way. Doctoring isn't an episode of greys anatomy friendo. those doctors at the top end of the salary scale probably see at least 1 person die a day. That's a family you have to say "despite my years of education and high opinion of myself for getting here, I fucked up and your [loved one] is dead".

It's not pretty. Doctors break down all the time. I've seen it.

I study Medicine in Brazil. It is by far the best job to have when it comes to money. Here you can go to public schools if you study hard enough. They're harder to get in than private schools. We have strong affirmative actions that benefit the poor and black people, also '"pardos" (mixed race people). People have been lying about their race though, because who would deny an opportunity? The affirmative actions only aim people who went to public schools though.

Here, you need 6 years to become a doctor, but you can get in just after High School. It usually takes 2-3 years of preparation course though. Some very bright and hard working people don't need it though.

Folks have been lying about their ethnicity though, because who would deny an opportunity like that? Nonetheless, it is important to notice that affirmative actions only aim people who went to public schools, so it benefits the most this black guy that is also poor (his grades need to be ridiculously low. For you to get an idea: it is easier for a poor black guy to get in Medicine that for a middle class person to get in Law).

>Dad: Cardiothoracic surgeon also does pulmonary work
>Mom: Oncology/Hematology/Internal Medicine

My parents are always on call and it's extremely stressful. They are immigrants from Syria and are now citizens, but deep down they would rather be something else.

It's a lot of training and hard work but my parents do make a lot of money.

I've shadowed both parents quite a bit and have seen an organ harvest which was pretty gnarly.

>Me: PhD student in biomedical sciences. Focus on genetics and computational biology. My thesis is about discovering novel Autism and Schizophrenia candidate genes. I do machine learning and if being a professor doesn't fall through I can program for biotech/finance.

I probably won't make as much money as my parents (esp. Dad) unless I join a biotech and get a lot of stock options. But I'm very happy with what I do and generally love science. I think my dad would have rather been an academic (his father was a linguistics professor in Syria)

Can this be a medical professional thread?

Physician: too much school and unreal work loads

Dentist: too much school and the pay doesn't offset it

Pharmacist: less school than dentist and physician and the pay is decent. I almost went this rate, but the field is saturated.

Physical therapist: just as much school as a dentist with substantially less pay

Occupational therapist: not sure what it does, but it makes decent money

Dental hygienist: I recommend this one. You can choose how long you want to go to school. Very in demand and a bachelor in it nets about $60k+

The technician and assistant jobs for all these are pretty terrible. Most require 2 year degrees and the pay is never more than 30k with no upwards mobility.

So nurse practitioner and PAs are considered the best jobs in America.

Masters with optional Doctorate for NPs (Doctor of Nursing Practice).

4+2 (+1 extra for DNP) years of total college, $100k a year job.

PAs can work in any field. NPs have to choose, but they can open their own offices/clinics in more and more states (plus their authority is from their own personal nursing license).
>>
>>1360911
Nursing has pre-reqs and often have waitlists to get in as well. Also the 2+1 NP programs are extremely difficult to get into. So you're liking looking at 10 years in reality.
>>
>>1360912

Well, if you are just starting out in college you can go right into a BSN program. Nursing is smart because you have so many levels of advancement ASN, BSN, MSN, DNP which all open more doors, but with the option to exit.

NP programs have lower GPA requirements than PA and M.D./D.O. I mean, if people can't manage a 3.2 undergrad then they shouldn't be going to grad school anyway.

At least in my state, I'm not aware of any programs that are wait listing well-qualified students. Seems like a much bigger problem for slackers and fuck-ups.

I'm a PA. I was working as a paramedic while I finished my bachelor's and got into PA school. Been doing that for 3 years now. I came out of all my school with $30k in debt (bachelor's and master's).

It's not pasta.

My buddy is a back and spine doctor.

Because trades are simple. Way more simple than any college track. And you can start at like 18-20. Doctors aren't even collecting real paychecks until like 30. And even once they begin they have a shitload of debt. AND medicine is a stressful job that carries a lot of liability.

Some trades are easier and more lucrative than others. HVAC is pretty goddamn lucrative. Properly fixing/installing the vents in someones home can be a $10k - $20k bill, and the work can be completed in 2 or 3 days by 2 or 3 guys. So you do the math anon, it's basically a license to print money, and you're doing something that's fuckin dirt simple.

Compare that to having an anesthetized patient on the table and you are directing a laser device around their exposed spine.

But hey if you want to go into medicine because you love it and want to help people, then more power to you.
>>
>>1363025
The problem with that is that a lot of doctors don't come from a background where it's seen as acceptable to go into a blue collar trade like that. Probably 75% or more come from affluent families, and a lot of them are children and grandchildren of doctors. When they're young, they wouldn't dream of going to their neurologist daddy or oncologist mommy and telling them that they want to be a plumber.

He said the doctors are on about $100k more than him but as has already been raised, they have more expenses etc. He finished top of his PA class and it's just 2 more years to become an actual doctor but he says there's NO incentive to do that.
>>
>>1363062
In a sense, it's 2 more years to be an M.D., but that's not really how it works. There's no PA to M.D. bridge program. You'd have to go back through med school, residency, etc. So, total time, start to finish, yeah, M.D. is about 2 years longer, but not going from PA to M.D.

At the end of the day, it's just glorified retail.

Here you go. Would you like something for your 'betus while you're here?

Doctor salaries in the US are ludicrously unsustainable and surgeons are going to get BTFO by automation within a decade.

GP are basically pharma reps

They look at you, guess what you have, and write a prescription.

If pills don't work, then they refer you to a specialist.

Literally anyone with access Google could do the job of a GP

It amazes me that you legally have to have a referral from a GP to see certain specialists.

I studied medicine and found the job badly paid for the effort. I should have moved to the US, I guess.

I now work for a company that develops medical devices.

Tbh I feel burnt out. Probably also because I switched from medicine after the 2nd year to engineering and then continued medicine again after I realized that engineering jobs are autistic. Well and now I am essentially an engineer again. The ride never ends. The fuck did I do with my life? I spent 9 years at university holy shit ;_;
I didn't even drink and have fun.

Thanks sensi.

That hadn't crossed my mind, but I meet about 85% of the requirements.

You poor bastard

Genuine thank you for your reply.

There are however a few things that concern me.
Namely, I don't think that HVAC workers get $10k jobs every week. In Canada, the median salary for HVAC workers is 22$ according to:
http://www.payscale.com/research/CA/Job=HVAC_Technician/Hourly_Rate

The average salary, according to another source, is 30$ (for people with -completed- apprenticeships)

That's $60k a year if you work full time, which is certainly not bad, but I wouldn't call it "money printing".

Otherwise, what specific HVAC tasks are the most lucrative? HVAC seems quite general/generic.

Thank you in advance

P.S.: That's a nice ass

Retards who work trades love to brag about how I'M MUH OWN MAN TURNIN A WRENCH/ROASTING ON A ROOF/CARRYING A SHOVEL WITH NO FANCY SCHOOLBOY DEGREE

What they usually fail to mention is that their business is nowhere near constant, consistent, or fundamentally healthy. A fucking monkey with internet access could eventually learn their jobs and easily start chipping away market share.

Couple that with that fact most of them are so shit with money (not much left after putting sweet new flames on your truck and buying a speedboat) and you have to ask yourself why you'd ever take financial advice from one.

>relying on your company's malpractice insurance

Good luck when they throw you under the bus for making a mistake while breaking an arbitrary rule in an attempt to provide better patient care.


I'm a pharmafag. My hospital has malpractice insurancemail. I carry my own for 100 a year because at least it'll have to be 2 organizations instead of 1 to fuck me in the ass when I poison some child or whatever.

Here you either have to finish with an average of 1.0, meaning you can at most lose 77 points out of 900 during your two years in the Years 12-13, or wait 7 years.
>>
>>1363047

I agree, but times have really changed

>>1364288

the work itself, yes it becomes boring very fast. But as an owner, creating growth and expanding, that's where the "fun" is.

>>1365098
Yes for WORKERS.

I'm talking about opening your own.

And yeah I know multiple tradesmen who opened their own company, and the company is hauling in $10k+ per week. They are often paying their labor like $15/hr. Materials vary by industry, but materials in most blue collars jobs are 10% or less of the bill of the job.
>>
>>1363062

Completely agree.
>>
>>1364265

I doubt it, you still need a human's eye on the job.

The main reason doctor salaries are so high is that they keep increasing the barrier to entry to limit the total number of doctors. Supply and demand. If the Lawyer world had done the same, they wouldn't be having the problems they are having now.
