It just all seems infeasible to me at the moment. I don't have the drive for medical school at all and hate dealing with sick people. I say infeasible because I would be in 250k debt were I to go through with optometry school, the salary would be barely 100k for the rest of my life as well.

Bioinformatics looks interesting, but finding a thesis supervisor seems to be difficult. Might consider dental school as it's more lucrative than optometry.

Getting into medical school in Canada is near impossible, you need near perfect grades which are hard as fuck to achieve if you take difficult science courses in your upper years, have to be a super normie, have to have plenty of extracurricular activities etc. score super well on the mcat and even then, it's still a rat race. I know several people who on paper look like shoe ins for med school but have failed to get in. Each school gets 4000 applicants and admits only 100-200 people, halve that since you're a guy that basically means 50-100 spots per school are open. Now if you're in Ontario, you're fucked even more since other provinces have very limited seats for students from other provinces.

Getting into med school here is a rat race, it takes way too much work and luck. The alternative is going to the states for study where you will have to spend 70-80k a year for four years.

Make sure you put every single fucking thing about your life in there.
Worked a paper route at 14? Get that shit in there.

How long does it take to learn python/java/C#/sql? I am a good learner and can more or less self teach myself the material (reasoning being that others have done the same in the past).

Most tech companies here only care that you have a degree, doesn't even have to be software eng or comp sci, in fact a science background would bring them "diversity" or some shit according to some recruiter I spoke with.

Are asp.net and c# popular these days? I want to learn java, but I just can't do it.
>>
>>72025423
It's actually really damn simple. If you want Java I heard Khan Academy does good for it.

I've also heard CodeAcademy is good from some people I've tutored. Mostly for me I just used some pdfs of actual books, and did the exercises in them.

If you stay on it you could probably become pretty proficient in a month's time. At least enough to start thinking about showcasing what you can do.

It's extremely easy if you already know Java, which I was lucky with because of my bachelor.

>Java
Difficult. It'll take you a while to get the hang of it if you've never really had programming experience before. Took me around 2 years to actually "understand" what I was doing instead of just getting spoonfed from my books.

>C#
I believe it's the same as Java.

The syntax itself is very different from c#. Maybe because I just lazy to learn new language.
Anyway, I used to code VB6 then moved to VB.net because VB6 is getting old. I moved to c# not long ago. Surprisingly, converting vb.net project to c# is quite easy. So that's why I ended up learning c# today.

Learn to make simple c# console program before moving on to unity, asp.net, etc.

>>72025611
Lol, that's how I learned it.
Probably not the best though, as you will most likely be dealing with a lot of stuff in the engine instead of just the code.

If you have a good deal of prior programming experience though then it's fine. Just starting out it's a bitch.
>>
>>72025610
>What are you interested in doing in the future?
I don't even. My stretchgoal (since I'm biomedical with focus in genetics) is to make designer babies because that would be amazing. But research would be cool too, if I don't get into medschool.

>If I were an American citizen I'd just go to a shitty MD school
Is there such a thing? I figure they're all tough as fuck to get into.

Not sure, I'm not even sure you can master Java in just a year. You'd have to take it very seriously then.

I'm not saying they're similar, they're just both imperative languages which makes it easier to understand how Python works if you already have knowledge of Java.

Getting into a below average to shitty MD medical school in the US is quite easy (relative to getting into Canadian schools and top schools like John Hopkins etc.). If you fail to get into an MD school, you can instead just go to a DO school, it's LITERALLY the same thing as an MD, you'll be a medical doctor after you're done just the same. The only problem will be securing residency spots for more lucrative specialties like dermatology/psychiatry/radiology etc.
