I'm hesitating to be a doctor because of money My family is poor we our poor so yeah my dream is to become a doctor but my big problem will be money so yeah :)
I've wanted to become a doctor since I was 17 ang joined as a voulenteer to an imergency organization. Now I'm 26, Trying to apply to Medical schhol (it's different in my country) and mostly I'm scared that I won't be able to balance the work with the family and future kids. Concerns that weren't part of my thoughts at 17.
im not sure if its for me or if im good enough to go i feel like its too hard thats what id been telling myself until i recently started considering it
I know a specialist who went into medicine because of family pressure and stayed for the money. He’s one of the finest specialists in town, and he now says he likes it.
If you are lazy in any way.. medicine isn’t for you. So many people go to work and half ass their way through the day. In most professions, that’s acceptable with little consequence. Not so in medicine, every day and day in and day out you have to give 100 percent at all times.
@@appollo1826 Okay, tell that to the family. "Sorry, wasent on my A game today. Uncle Joe is dead now" As I said, if you go into medicine.. you better be prepared to give it your all. And YES, I am a doctor.
Honestly it's a good thing I gave up on trying to get into medical school. I never had a chance even right from the start and once I tanked my MCAT, I knew it was the final nail in the coffin and it was all over for me.
@@lostship I work in supply chain now. Currently I'm focusing on building my investment portfolio and getting certifications to help take my career further. I'd like to land a federal job one day and snag those sweet, sweet benefits.
@christopherwilson8327 Damn, that's really cool how you built the right path for yourself after trying for a path that didn't suit. I don't know you, but I'm glad you didn't give up and found a passion. Keep it going man, I hope your career only goes up. Blessings.
I'm a nursing assistant (which doesn't require any grades etc) and at the beginning I had an uneasy feeling to go to work. Now that I have the routines stuff, befriended some collegues and gained some experience it's quite enjoyable. Not the job that I've been aspired to get as I've wanted to be a vet. The vet school requires somewhat 8 degrees more and have a very little chance of getting in. Thats 7-10 years of studying considering how fast you want to study before becoming a vet. It's priorities that matter most in which decision I'm willing to make. :')
I'm strongly considering medical school right now, my only concern is that I already dislike working a full 40 hours a week as an MA, but it really depends for me. I feel full of energy leaving work if I've learned a lot, or I get to work alongside coworkers I have a good relationship with. I feel my worst when I'm doing routine clerical work with no new experience or takeaways.
I can relate there. I'm a burnt out engineer at the moment and feel absolutely drained working 40 hour weeks mainly due to how the work being so boring and unfulfilling. The hours alone isn't the issue.
Hell I'm a bit confused myself on what I wanna be I love the idea of surgery and would love to be a surgeon but at the same time I somehow feel like my parents and family also have some part to play in that so I don't wanna be forcing myself in it.
I don’t know if being a doctor is the right path for me or not. I would love to have a meaningful job that is respected by society, but the reason I would want to become a doctor(or surgeon) is because I got diagnosed with cancer at 16. I didn’t get the help I needed(it’s estimated that I had the tumor for around 5 years before I got diagnosed while actively seeking for help) and I want to be able to give the care to others that I didn’t receive. At the same time; I think 98% of everyone I know believes I’ll be an artist, musician, woodcarver, goldsmith or something more ‘creative’. I don’t know what to do, and I’ll have to choose career path soon
Unless youre an animal whisperer, you will still have to deal with people in order to help the animals. Most of the animal that you serve have an emotional pet owner that want you to fix their pet friend/family.
@@appollo1826 it's not about talking to emotional owners to help their pets it's about the feeling afterwards like I can pretend to be nice to people in order to help an animal but to save them is like ughhh and about animals any animal I will save in future it won't be like that why I saved this it will be the opposite are you getting what I'm saying 😁
I check what day is today 5 times just to make sure that I'm not going to school on sunday 😶 I have 0 confidence.. I don't even trust myself 🗿 While doing anything.. I think 10 times and check it 10 times.. and then it becomes too late- 😂 I don't think I should be a doctor BUT I want to be a doctor 🗿
These signs are way too generic. They apply to almost 95% of professions. Its like aaying if someone doesn't like to work hard they shouldn't bother working at all. Evwn doctors are lazy at times does it mean they do not hace the thirst of knowledge or no longwr a strong work ethic?? *Rhetorical
That confusing moment when I'm currently taking a medical course (medical laboratory science) and I do like it... But I also really like art, writing, and cooking. :')
@@birdyghostly that's also my plan, my passion has always been art, writing and comics, but i also want to be a doctor. to be realistic, for me at least, art will stay as a hobby and my career will be medicine and after all we have all the time in the world so, I'll always have time for art in the future.
I agree with these signs since becoming a doctor does require a lot of dedication, effort, and patience but wouldn’t that apply to any profession such as a lawyer, engineer, dentist, etc? I’m a senior in high school and I’m not too sure of what I want to major in for college, but I’m thinking of being a PA since it feels more attainable than being a doctor
If it just fear that you'll fail to become a doctor, why not overcome that fear. PA is a great career but Im pretty sure you'll make a doctor as well. Break down the steps and execute each step one at time.
@@appollo1826 yeah I do fear that I’ll fail when I am in pre-med & med school because it’s so hard & the MCAT since I’m not a good test taker but I find medicine interesting
Honestly I don’t know what to become anymore, I want to be a doctor because I can’t see myself being anything else but at the same time I don’t have a passion for it. I have a wide range of interest but I can’t say without hesitation that I want to dedicate to only one of those interests. Idk I’ll probably just stick to being a bagger at a grocery store. I have an interest in helping people and the medical field but if I can barely pass my pre requisites and barely know the basics of medicine, then how can I even be one.
Exactly i can’t see myself in ANYTHIING ELSE no matter how much I search up things and try to be curious I feel like no career would fit me im just really confused i am interested in being a doctor but i have no passion for it
@@fatoumatacisse3796just take a dive, no clue how deep the water is but it may well be that you find it shallow and make it to the other side. Just try it, no point in wasting time, trying to see what feels right because that time may never come. Oh well, "Just do it." ~ NIKE
I’m finishing up my prerequisites for med school right now and I’ve realized you can’t just want the end goal. It takes more than a decade of your life and you have to enjoy the journey. I’ve loved my classes, volunteering, and research. Be honest with yourself and remember to become a doctor means being intentional with your time while pushing harder than you ever thought possible. You need to be internally motivated and quick to learn from mistakes. Hope you find happiness in whatever you do!
@@aubreyrussell8500 do you think someone who is dealing with depression and anxiety can get through medical school? I love learning about human body and diseases, i love helping people, but I'm scared that my mental health gets worse if i apply to medical school due to pressure and everything. I have thought about pharmacy too, i think there's less pressure and i find studying it enjoyable but I can't see myself as a pharmacist, I find the job boring.
EXACTLY THE SAME HERE! I'm a nursing student now, and enjoying everything that I study, but I don't know if I want to be a nurse, or if ill be a good one. Maybe I should study more and try to be a doctor, or maybe I should stay. It's so hard!!
Mount Everest is only worth climbing if you love climbing, so enjoy the pain, and then you shall enjoy the journey through suffering. To all the future superheros - let's go!
Morality is relative. A morality test just checks if your morals align with those of the authors' In my medical school there was a debate on whether the use of QBanks like Uworld is ethical Does the medical school itself practice morality if it charges 80000 a year in tuition?
100% facts. The main reason I hate ethics questions. Ethics question are restricted toward one answer and only that occupation can tell you if YOUR morality is correct or incorrect. It makes me ponder if we need these type of questions due to a few odd-balls.
It throws me off watching this video being uploaded right after me making it clear to family after a heated argument that if it's not medicine I'm studying, I don't see myself majoring anything else at all. Well, I don't know what to feel and say...
Honestly yes I also see myself doctor but I have no Passion or i don't like 36 h duties and hospital those kind of things but I really love to help people give them medicine would be my pressure but after all of that I can't decide what should I do ... But as I can't decide I have to follow my parents thoughts.
It's kinda too late for me. I graduated two years ago, and I regret it. I am just going to try to get a job at some remote ambulance or apply for a brain-dead branch such as sports medicine.
Is it really? Can’t you go back to increase your grades, study for mcat, etc? If it’s what you are wanting to do, go for it. I’m in undergrad right now and I will probably spend some years after graduating just studying and trying to get in if I don’t get in my first try.
Is it possible to become a doctor If I only have a GED not a high school diploma and I have a wife and daughter? How would I even go about getting loans for school if I don’t have the best of credit? I’ve wanted to become a doctor my entire life not for the money or status but because it makes me happy. Just unsure if it’s even possible now…
Well, it would be a long journey for sure, filled with lots of sacrifices. For example, you would need to take all your prerequisites, which could take you up to 3 years full time. You would then need to pass the rigorous MCAT exam, and then hope to be accepted to a medical school, and do that for 4 years. If no medical school near you accepts you, you’d need to consider moving away to another place with a medical school that will accept you. Then, you would need to do 3 years residency. Throughout med school & residency, they highly discourage working a full time job as they want you busy with your studies. You’ll be sacrificing time with your family and friends, and will rack up a ton of debt. Contact medical schools in your area to be more informed.
I am currently a student of maths stream , my parents want me to take engineering, maybe i like it too but lately I am developing interest and thrust for neurology, and want to go into the research side of medicine rather than becoming a full fledged doctor. Aiming to combine computer science and neurology to create something beyond current intelligence of human . Also, maybe due to my previous experience and bad health in young age and the trauma it caused compel me to do the same. Even of all of this , i have a slight inclination towards business and precisely research based business thing... Already told above... It's so confusing, should I take my chance at it if I am not willing to be a doctor but some researcher...what are the other paths to pursue the same?
I used to not study in high school and was an average student. I'm 31 years old now and just started college. I have straight A's because I'm actually studying. Moral of the story. Study ! It will make everything easier trust me ! I will be going to med school after college.
Well I asked chatGPT what job I should get if I want to make a lot of money. The first thing it said was doctor, such as an anesthesiologist or surgeon
I have autism and don’t struggle at all with communication and actually thrive with it, but I do struggle touching people? Do you think it’s possible to overcome this or should I give up on my dream of going into medicine?
@@Willow-fk4kpI’ve seen the first 4 seasons. I find it semi-relatable, however I know it’s super unrealistic. You cannot have the type of meltdowns Shawn has and keep your medical job that’s just not how it works. Also nobody will be as accommodating as they are in the show.
@@nanashearts3511 well my brother has autism and he’s actually really smart he went into medicine and he’s thriving I think you gotta see the patient more as a patient and less as a person
I am currently a premed student. I wanted to become a pediatrician but now im considering nursing. I am super smart & think I have the right personality to become a doctor but maybe not the grades.
The grades can be addressed - check out our study strategies playlist here on RU-vid. If after going through the playlist you still aren't getting the results you want, we offer 1-on-1 help as well
This is fear creeping up on you. You can overcome this fear by not just calling yourself "smart" but actually changing those grades that are questionable and moving forward toward becoming a Pediatrician. If you have the right personality to become a doctor, go make the occupation that is right for your personality. In the end, you won't regret it if you exhaust your genius into becoming a Pediatrician vice something you're settling for.
I don’t want to become a doctor 💀but I do want to become a PA- Edited: It’s not what I truly want. I told my sister about my change of mind and she told me I looked happy 🧍🏻♀️🥲
