I've felt this with the food industry. I've reached so many more people than possible by working in a restaurant or hotel. But there is something about seeing someones face light up from eating the food you made that makes my day.
I honestly want to thank you for this video. I’m a med student that’s been doing online school like everyone else around the world. I became so drained from the work at home that I started to lose my desire for medicine. I stopped enjoying school and I mentally became a lot weaker than I used to be. Hearing you talk about this reminded me of why I’m doing this. Why I need to keep going so that I can live the lifestyle that I see myself having in 25 years. I really hope to be more like you someday, you’ve become this idol of mine in the medical world. I wish you the best of luck in emergency medicine :)
You can always change career paths. That being said, I don't think that I would pick an different path if I were forced to make this decision 5 years later or 5 years sooner. After all, we all decide based on incomplete knowledge and there's no way to actually know the everyday life on our profession. It would make no good delaying this decision.
Then when? People need guidance. The world has a wrong concept about jobs. They think they’re supposed ti be fun or enlightening.. they forgot that jobs are about serving, about being useful to a society.
I absolutely agree. I’m 20 years old and in my third year of college/university. I have no idea what I want to do with my major because I have never explored who I am, what I want, and how I get what I want.
I think people should be encouraged to go to med school a bit older, i'm a 29 year old first year which I know is pretty old but there is no way I could have made that decision as a teenager. I needed to explore what else I wanted to do first and now I know medicine is for me.
I agree with you agemjourney. I wanted to do pharmacy when I was a teenager and I did only two years of the requirements and prerequisites and then I gave up due to amounts of time being married to biology/chemistry lab. I thought to myself this is too much time I’m spending and may easily give up when I get older. However, I have been thinking to go back and get a doctoral degree in education administration as well as medicine because I can make better decisions now as I have learned and experienced more in life. I do think think there’s no time limit in starting a new career path if you enjoy that path.
I can completely relate to you, I am actually medicine part -time now, after doing it full time for 12 years straight, having anesthesia & critical care as my speciality, and as much as I love my profession, I wanted more for my life, more time freedom, more financial and location freedom..so now working full time on my online business and part time as a doctor..and I feel extremely happy and excited after I have made this decision..and I am super excited for your journey ahead..😊
I didn't know I need this video until now. I can relate so much to your decision of leaving medicine, as well as your decision to go back. I felt like I was the only person that is in medical school and actually enjoy the side projects that have nothing to do with medicine more than medicine it self. It's great to know I'm not alone.
I feel you, it sometimes seems like if you don't wholly love just medicine its not really where you should be when you compare yourself to most other peoepl
Hi Ali. I was a pediatric echocardiographer for 20 years. Then I went into teaching public school and then college.I also love doing art. I love doing different things and not doing anything full time. I thrive on doing a variety of things. I'm "retirement" age for the US, but love doing so many of the things I do that I can't see sitting on the beach without end. I love your outlook on travel and increasing your surface area for serendipity. What a magical thing! I love your content. :)
This really hits home. I sort of quit medicine after 10 years. I enjoyed the first 5 years and wouldn't mind practically living in the hospital. I only go home to sleep and get another batch of fresh clothes. But having kids really shifted my perspective. I began to long to stay at home more with my kids and pursue other passions. Nobody really understood why. If you ask me about the billion dollar question, my answer is that I would probably run a free clinic and do medical missions in remotes areas in my country. But yes, just part-time with some colleagues so that I only work 2-3 days a week.
After 8 long years of battling with insecurities, low self-esteem, with constant fear of the knowledge I could infect someone with HSV 1&2 was a nightmare to me. I'm so glad/grateful that I am over Herpes and its stigma! All thanks to Dr. Aloha #Herpes #Hsv1 #Hsv2 #Sti ru-vid.com/show-UC_YFEEZEr1BxGkNg1d4vqww 🍀🇺🇸❤️
I left school at 16 with the belief that I wasn't good enough for university, I worried about it a lot at the time but its only now at 23 that I appreciate my indecisiveness and the benefits and transferable skills I got from studying a few short term courses in college. Im now in my second year of a degree at uni and I now dont worry about having to stay in the "career box" that education places you in. Life and our experiences are fluid, we are changing all the time.
I thought that I was the only one feeling not sure if medicine is what I want for the rest of my life until you shared your feelings through this video. The country where I’m has the same system as the UK, where you study for six years at a med school and work for 2 years as a junior doctor. As you shared, medicine itself didn’t bring me fulfillment, joy, and meaning; instead, it was the side-stuffs that I did that brought me happiness. That’s why right now I’m struggling if I should continue this career or try something else while I’m still young and not having many responsibilities yet because I don’t want to regret when I get old thinking that I should have tried something else while I still have energy and opportunity. I also wanted to travel the world and explore my horizons and figure out what I really want to do, but because of the pandemic, I haven't, but thanks to it, I got the opportunity to think about what I really want for the rest of my life. Thanks to you, I had found a way to know if should stay in medicine by testing my assumptions and see if it actually brings me happiness. I'm in my last year of med school, I'll try my best for what is left, and I hope that I can find out the answer during my 2 years as a junior doctor. For me, life is a journey to explore oneself, so if we don't know what direction to go, just try the best we can and work as hard as we can whatever it is. That will get us to a place of success and happiness. It’s just consistently working hard. I just want to encourage people out there who are struggling that we don’t have to have it all figured out, so remember to open our eyes, look around and enjoy what life has to offer!
Why is there such a huge discussion about how deep his voice is? It makes sense- a large chunk of his income is TALKING TO US. He's trying to create a better experience for us or make a change to make him feel more confident. It's like a girl wearing makeup. I think he sounds great! Excellent video as always
I made the exact same decision on September 2019. I went through depression on my final year and didn't invest nor learn much ... I thought a break was necessary. I planned a lot to things to do on this gap year but the pandemic kept me at home, I did nothing of what I planned and I could not help my colleagues with the pandemic , didn't help much with my depression ! At the end the best thing that came out of this is that : 1. I realised I actually really like medicine and I miss it. 2. I finally know what I want to do as a speciality My speciality test is within 2 weeks pray for me please!
Hi Etolie, I think I am going through same thing can you please share how did you manage to over come your depression because I am in my final year at dentistry and I really feel I want to quit. Let me know if you are ok with making zoom call that would be much appreciated. Regards.
I just love how you take your time to actually understand your feelings & preferences and that’s how I really aspire to be. I’m a med student and in my area people just rush things and feel sad & left behind if they don’t get accepted for residency ASAP, but I think that a gap year is necessary to just think things through and take the time to make the right decision for you. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us and please continue to do so!
Everyone’s talking about his voice lowering, is anyone going to highlight his gains!? Biceps we see you, Gymshark athlete here we come! In all seriousness, love your videos and content. Quality every single time. Thanks for sharing Ali!
Maybe because we kind of live in a world where we are seemingly forced to take one field or career and stick to it for the rest of our lives and let whatever title we get define us. Like, he's a doctor, she's a lawyer, they're an engineer. But in reality, we really can't be defined by these mere careers we choose in certain stages of our lives. Like Ali, he can be a doctor and a RU-vidr! One can be a teacher and an athlete. There's just so many possibilities. There is so much more to do and learn out there, and we can be defined by a lot of things that we choose to define us.
well said!! many people end up being unhappy and feel oppressed by their professional identity.. I don't want to be a "full-time" anything, I'd rather have many things going in my life
This is def a great way for everyone to think about their careers - how can you shape your work life in a way that you can spend different days on different roles/projects/passions. Love it and all the best Ali
You don't have to feel guilty at all. There's a famous Chinese writer who gave up being a doctor because he believed that he could save more souls using his pen, and he did it. We are a lost generation but thanks to people like you, I feel inspired and encouraged more often.
I think the fact that you made a lot of money and became successful online, yet still want to go back to medicine, is really admirable I would think about Diagnostic Radiology, something you could do from home and at odd hours
I made a similar decision over 40 years ago. I was studying Engineering, and realized that I was also a very good computer programmer. Back then, Computer Science did not exist, but I could have carved out a career in what we now call Software Engineering. I decided instead that I wanted to be an Engineer that could bring an understanding of software to the engineering field. In other words, be someone who did real world engineering tasks - and then applied software to do those things better. You are making a similar decision to be a Doctor experiencing real medical tasks, and then being able to make videos that relate to that real world experience. Currently you help young medical aspirants study better and be more productive - and it happens to be relevant to others outside of medicine. And 25 years from now, you will have learned a great deal more about medicine, with thoughts on how to be a better doctor - much of which will also be relevant outside of medicine. But when your real world experience becomes more and more remote from actual hands-on work, then you become less and less relevant. To this day, I still work at applying engineering software to the largest international companies, improving their engineering and product development capabilities - and just love my work and intend to continue doing it for another 20 years or longer. I keep learning and growing - and making my customers better with software. I respect the path you are choosing and the logic and emotion of your thoughts.
Ali, thank you for this video - this has been my favorite one yet. I’ve thought a lot about whether I wanted to pursue RU-vid full-time but I ran into many of the thoughts you shared and decided that I only wanted RU-vid (or any creative pursuit like it) to only be part of my life. You voiced a lot of what I’ve been thinking about better than I could myself!

I'm glad you're going back to being a doctor, albeit part-time. 🙂 I resonate with testing something that we think we want so that we know for sure that that's what we want. All the best with being Doctor Ali!
I just got accepted to medicine as well as production design in film.. completely different career paths which both are my dream jobs. I was in a very chaotic mindset trying to figure out which one to pursue. Your video, especially the part about imagining yourself in 25 years helped me incredibly. This video was extremely helpful, thank you for the great content!
Ali I’ve been subscribed since you made videos discussing the Charlie Gaard Case back when I was applying to medicine in 2017/18. You may not remember me, but I’m grateful for everything you’ve done to help me get into Medicine and helping me realise how important it is to make your life about yourself and your happiness as opposed to making your world revolve around medicine and your career.
I’m currently doing Medicine while pursuing my creative pursuits on the side (RU-vid, writing etc). But I don’t see myself doing either full-time, to be honest. I really love the idea of teaching.
I like what you said at 13:57 "when we think we want something, we have to test that assumption." :) sometimes our fear of failing prevents us from testing the waters and trying if to see if what we have in minds would work.. so yes ill do more of trying next time.. :)
I was really amazed by the sheer amount of wisdom in the last half of the vid. Ali, you're the type of friend (and actually me) who I want to hang out with everyday
I want to let you know that being Asian, facing that gruelling decision of career choices with too much parental pressure at the age of 16, I was a lost soul. Gradually your ways of approaching education helped me achieve goals I never thought I could ever. From a pass mark in class 12s in maths and chem, I am on my way to taking up a second masters in neuroscience in a prestigious Uni in India. It turns out that you gotta love what you do instead of loving the idea of a particular career. You have done more than anyone could have ever done to guide a person. All I wanna say is thank you so much.
Hi Ali, from Portugal! The first time I watched this video I felt so much less alone 😊 I identified with you and today I had to comment. While working as a PhD student and the equivalent of a Teacher’s Assistant, I decided to apply to Med School and I’m now a 2nd year student. I never stopped teaching because I really enjoy talking and educating about my passions, but then I applied to medicine because I felt the need to do more than talking to people about stuff and actually doing stuff “as an adult” and living more vibrant and different experiences. On the other hand, although I haven’t actually practiced medicine, I see it in my future life only in part-time (you are literally the 1st person I ever heard saying this too out loud!), because I feel like there is so much more in the world to live and experience (not only health related, but also in friendships, sports, personal development, and so on). And regarding to specialty sometime I feel a lot of pressure (from family, friends and even myself) to choose as quickly as I can, but since I haven’t tried any I think only with experience can I be more certain of what this could be. A few months ago, in a Med School related volunteering experience, I started educating adolescents on LGBTI Sexual Health, and when you said “The thing you think about in the shower is the thing you should do with your life”, it really hit me, because that’s exactly what I’m thinking about or doing in my free time, as I’m doing this Sunday 😊 Thanks for your videos. Always inspirational!!
Pretty impressed with the honesty and realisation that the cyclical life of creating content isnt working for you. Sounds like it's been an awesome + meaningful revelation.
This is kind of relatable for me. While I’m not into the workforce yet, but I initially wanted to have a research oriented career (again, had to decide at like 16) but over the past couple of years of actually being exposed to research, I realised that I don’t really want to do it full time if possible because I enjoy creating and travelling and life would be so limited if you sit inside your lab all day working on a very specific model of concepts of physics that most people don’t even understand. Thanks for sharing your experience! All the best with the new job!
I’m in medical school, I make RU-vid videos, and I make music. I love having all of these different facets to my life. It gives me all kinds of different interests, and makes me feel like a well rounded person
Thank you for sharing this with us Ali. I am on a similar boat where I cant decide if I want to go into PT school and help and interact more with people or if I just want to work on my entrepreneur stuff since it is more exciting. The idea of working part time possibly 3x a week PT and the other two days on my own projects seems like a really good idea. Regardless of what you end up doing I hope all goes well and thank you for always bringing and speaking on such helpful and interesting topics.
mate , it is like we are on the same boat , i wish u a good life no matter what in the end you pick ! it is like just picking a door and going through it , we would never know what's on the other side
You just took my exact thoughts and put it out in a video! I for one am in the same situation as you, refering to the "break" after med school internship. Being the only doctor in my family and well ofc Asian, I thought i was the only one who dared to actually quit such a profession in the middle of the pandemic. But thank you for sharing your thoughts, finally feel understood and not alone in this. All the best in the ER!
Thank you so much for this video. I never thought I’d experience a feeling of being lost with a career path of medicine. But there is just so much I have personally haven’t experienced yet. Thank you also for making me realise that it’s okay to feel this way, and it genuinely has reminded me of how exciting this journey will be. I guess the pandemic has made my expectations of medical school feel ‘dry’. Stay well Ali, and know that you are making an impact on so many people like myself 🤍
The concept of having to decide your entire future career path as a teen is insane! I think taking time off before applying for anything should be mandatory #miniretirements 😎
Ali you don't have to justify your decisions. The same people who take issue with you leaving medicine during pandemic are probably the same ones who live in their mum's basement and never come out
I like the fact you are going back to medicine and I also really enjoy your content (my subscription shows that). I have to say that the importance and subsequent enjoyment of saving lives as a paramedic absolutely smashes the enjoyment I get from making videos on my channel regardless of how many people watch my vids.
You mentioned how the number one thing that brought you fulfilment is to teach. And that is the main reason why I come back to your videos time and time again. I just genuinely look forward to learning something new each time. As you talk about your impact in both the medicine field and as an influencer and finding your path in this world, I wish that you have the best experiences in this life and understandings as well because I truly enjoy learning things from you. You have an ability to make complex things sound so simple and teach in a way that is very engaging. So whether you're travelling the world getting experiences for yourself or learning from a book, I look forward to being a student in the knowledge you pass on. Truly appreciate all that you share as they are great learning tools for self-reflection and making choices in life. And also looking forward to your book big time!
watching this video makes me feel better about my situation. 3 years ago I didn't get enough points on my school-leaving exam to get to med school. I decided to pursue Japanese Studies instead while I've always wanted to learn an Asian language and because I was lucky enough to get accepted to the most prestigious university in Poland. Now, that I'm graduating with my bachelor's degree, I decided to take a gap year, retake my exams and go to med school. I appreciate taking this time to think, it made me realize what I really want in life and that no other thing can make me as happy and excited as medicine does (despite the fact that with my degree in Japanese I could earn a lot of money real fast). It was really inspiring to hear that there are people struggling with making such big decisions on whether to pursue medicine or not. You've put so much thought into making this decision, that's really brave!
Awesome Ali! I just loved the whole analysis of your thoughts . This was exactly what I always had in my head. It makes me feel weird why is it only me who is wanting to take a break from medicine. It makes me recheck my mental status . But happy to see I was not the only one. And I am exactly in the same zone . But how beautifully you got back to your thoughts of getting back makes me feel positive and analyze what I should also be doing and what I am feeling like inside as a doctor not being a doctor for a while.
I am currently on a path to switch my career. I’m going from healthcare (podiatry) into IT. I’m on a journey of teaching myself to code. It’s a skill that’s in demand at the moment and allows you to work from home. I am finding myself loosing passion for my current field and I want to try and push myself into something that can give me another perspective of life, I mean cmon, life is all about working. I think it’s good to make these decisions, at least whilst your young, so that it can help to broaden your experience. Thanks for the video Ali
I've just discovered you yesterday and I am in awe of your presentation/explanation skills. You said in your other video that one of the key elements to success is luck, and while I don't disagree with it, I think, in order to be popular on YT, other than having sth interesting today, is a TALENT (natural skill!) to convey that message. How you speak, explain things, etc. is one of the MOST important factors for me, when choosing to follow someone! I also like your voice :) Great Work! x
Thank you for sharing, its lovely to hear your background... i started following you after an adult ADHD diagnosis and your videos have really helped me figure out new systems for my life and business... both pre-covid and during covid.... thank you for everything you share.... work and human side xxx Cup of tea drank with you and throughly enjoyed x
"Doing something and then talking about it is so much more interesting than reading something and then talking about it." That really hit home for me. I'm in geography rather than medicine and though I love researching, the practical side of it is really fulfilling as well. Thanks for getting me thinking about my own path Ali!
im literally drinking tea and while you were talking im like "mhmm.. yeah.. mhm.. makes sense" loll. I just love watching your vids and hearing you talk I never get bored no matter how long your vids are! much love from Jordan!
Thanks for your comment, Write my broker Ronald Stephanie on WhatsApp to earn huge in bitcoins, her strategies are top notch, she's's really making me huge gains with her strategies.
@@imjacobblanco Seriously, I'm also a doctor and have a RU-vid channel and RU-vid is fun and interesting, but it can't compete with medicine for interesting case challenges and mental stimulation. But that's just me. For now, RU-vid is a part-time thing.
This video resonates with me so much and the reason is - im a 5th year med student (in Russia) and im at the point of not realising whether the medicine is something i want to do for the rest of my life. And I liked that its been said that we often don’t know what exactly we want especially in several years. I think “the problem” (or id rather call it the advantage) of our generation is that we do not want to necessarily spend our whole lives doing one thing 24/7 I hope for next generations there will be an opportunity to choose several careers and/or change your professional field of knowledge throughout your lifetime. It makes much more sense to me bc the world is a crazily fast-changing place.
Just stumbled upon this video after a friend suggested looking at your channel. I was in the same boat you are now, back in 2007, where I chose to move away from medicine. Medicine was great, but I enjoyed photography, learning web design, new businesses, electronics, and tons of other stuff, while I was studying medicine. I made the move and even though I am still in the lifesciences industry, I have time for all my other shenanigans. All the best and do what your heart tells you.
Ali, this is great! I have thought endlessly about this too...I moved to Australia to do EM in February 2021 and you are correct...I tested it..it wasn't for me. I came to the same 3-day week conclusion! The way you pulled this topic together is fab and I think there's a lot of benefit here for others who will go through the same process. As doctors, we frequently seek careers advice from other doctors who tend to just advised that we stay in medicine. There is no one size fits all. I definitely feel that the best doctors will be those "doing it for fun", that way we bring our best selves to the job and we aren't burnt out but... fulfilled ⭐
Your reasons are really sound and have helped me think about my life - especially as I decided to be a teacher 10 years ago, but I don't want to be anymore, and I shouldn't be held hostage by 23 year old me's decision. Good luck!
@@LisaCulton I guess the "getting into medicine in the first place"-part is what's considered to be a privilege. And I suppose that having the possibility of being able to actually return (and effectively be re-admitted/hired) after you quit, is too.
@@CharliWrites You can always go back, because there is always a need for qualified professionals. Getting in takes hard work, not privilege - if you've got the right stuff, you will get in - somewhere.
@@LisaCulton I hear what you say and I agree that hard work matters. Simultaneously, and I take the Netherlands as an example, there are places where there is an actual cap on the amount of students they admit. As a result, students who are every bit as qualified end up not being admitted. Also, there are students who are bright and talented but grow up under circumstances that negatively interfere with them having a resume that's competitive enough to get into med school, or: seeing med school as a viable option for themselves, to begin with. Not to make up excuses. Just to be real.
@@CharliWrites Well, that's the same in the US. There are a very limited number of spots and you have to find a way to get in - it's not a special privilege, though. It's a very thorough selection process and like I said, you have to have the right stuff. Qualifications alone, such as good grades and test scores aren't enough. You have to have a certain personality, drive and focus. People will pick up on this during the in-person interviews, nobody relies solely upon resumes and test scores.
Your videos have helped shape the direction I want to take my life towards. I can think beyond the 9 to 5, thanks to your videos. You’ve enabled me to see that there’s more of life than just working and doing the usual 9 to 5. Thank you for your content
Voice is deeper...He is confident and serious and knows what he is talking about .He is speaking with authority.Above all he feels like himself again...You are back Ali..You should indeed go back to medicine

I agree your impact on social media is huge! You have no idea how much your videos have helped me!
Ali, have you considered anaesthetics? A mix of high acuity practice, with predictable and flexible hours/LTFT. Huge scope for outside interests, and something readily encouraged by the Royal College. Also a massive potential for delivering or developing FRCA teaching/apps/courses. The FRCA is such a major stumbling block for so many people, and there’s a huge gap in the market for clear, succinct and accessible teaching to get trainees through it. With your interests in fundamental sciences + physiology, plus your background in tech and web/app development, could be right up your street!
Any help during the peak of pandemic in hospitals was needed and much appreciated! From looking after patients, supporting colleagues, giving nurses breaks...., to delivering food to exhausting staff .... if anyone had thought like you that” one person could not make a difference” than there would not have been any help ! How can you comment on this matter if you haven’t left your flat for the last 8 months .... ??!!!
i feel like it benefits me a lot learning from your experience, the way you think logically about things and how you are skeptical about such things comfort me somehow cause i tend to feel the same about my current career. i hope you do not become rough on yourself regarding the last 8 months, they taught or pushed you to realize some things i am sure.
It really is unreasonable that kids have to make a career decision at such a young age. I work with middle and high school students and I tell them explore all the possibilities. A STEM degree will give you options, but you do not have to make a solid decision now.
I wish it was like that in the UK..I’m 16 and already facing a lot of pressure to choose a career (with the relevant alevels). Even though I feel like I’m still a child lol.
Can totally relate. Had myself on pathology training but after 2 years in training, i quit and now a happy family medicine resident. We just have to enjoy the process :)
Ali,this video was exception. I have been watching all of your note taking and xm and notion kinda stuff for around 6 months or so and that now i am hitting 14 this April, i realized that ,man, like i really was into military and action like that since the age of 3 {according to my mom } but suddenly , i am like , ok, i guess i like sharing my journey and experience of becoming a social media practitioner cause i am really influenced by you, gary vee, peter mckinnon . i think, at this era, it is like youtubing and entreprenuership is kinda cool and actually it has more upsides than ever too, but it is like a thought that is running in my mind and i just wanted to share with ya , and i really want to thank you for helping me post my first video on youtube too and it is now coming down to consistency and putting in the work and enjoying it ! that's all till now !
I always find it fascinating how early med school starts abroad. I started at 28 here in the US and have classmates well into their mid/late 30s. Average age of my class is around 25 when we started first year. Sometimes I kick myself for not discovering medicine until later, but I know at 17 or 18 I was not even close to being ready for starting something like med school. Took me a few years of being away from academia to figure it all out.
So true. I started at age 25+ after getting a degree in Engineering and then working as a Math teacher in the Caribbean. I had a couple of classmates who were in their 40s!
@@nihalmuniah Well, most of the people in my class started medical school at age 21-22 (after obtaining an undergraduate degree, which is a prerequisite for even applying to medical school) and obviously start residency at around age 26 . However, I had been out working before I went back to school, so I was a bit older.
I am still in undergrad, have immersed myself into medicine since first year of high school and cannot relate more to this video. I am taking this summer off to explore my other passions and to decide if medicine is something I really want to continue. The pandemic really screwed things up and made me having second thoughts about medicine. It is still in the running but I want to really think about this decision if i want to move forward. Thank you Ali.
@@lavaboy1565 Post pandemic I realized that everything from here on out will be digital. I’ve always had a love and passion for computers. I took a few coding classes and fell in love with it. I decided to double major in comp sci alongside my first degree in Neuroscience. During the summer when I wrote that comment I explored my passion for business and fell in love with that as well. Medicine has stripped me away from exploring the things I truly love to do and has made me compromise on my social life. Realizing this and taking some time to explore other things has made me leave medicine and pursue other avenues. I just graduated with my first degree and am still working on my second degree. I do not want to not completely leave medicine as now I want to use computers/software to improve medicine. My long term goal is to own my own biotech company. The good thing is that if i ever want to go back into medicine, i can. For now I just want to immerse myself in the biotech/biomedical field to see how i like it. Hope this helped!
