It's not that tough of a sell when you consider that many/most medical students are math-phobic and would most likely be unable to obtain a high-paying SWE gig in lieu of becoming a doctor.
There is a significant difference between the skillset that produces a medical student (work ethic and drive) and a SWE (analytical reasoning).
- NotSammyHagar 7y agoThat doesn't seem right to me. They have to get through chemistry and physics. They have to memorize a giant decision tree that they employee when evaluating people, questions to ask. They have to adjust that over time, then they get a speciality and they learn new things. There's a difference in skill set that is developed over time, but doctors have to be able to have mental models of how bodies work, how things work in the body, "just like us".
