Medicine
I seriously considered it when I was a teenager, decided to try out some more unorthodox fields instead, eventually wound up in software. Reasons why I would pick medicine - having a more tangible positive impact on the world and better long term job stability.
Unfortunately, there's no realistic way for me to switch at this point considering the fees and having to spend so many years studying full time without any income.
- notesinthefield 6y agoI recently dropped out of nursing school (BSN), its not quite as intense as an MD but working full time and then putting in another six to eight hours on clinicals, labs, lectures etc on top of the realization I would be taking a significant pay was untenable. Paramedic training is much more feasible and may be able to scratch that medical itch.
