Am I right to go into medicine?

What the hell is wrong with you?

Sounds like you've got it down pat.

OMG. This is hands down THE greatest thread I have ever seen.

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Not saying you're wrong, it's just funny how you put things so bluntly. Hopefully you aren't as direct in real life.

u sir, are an idiot

hahaha that was hilarious. what are you interested in, sir? Medicine or switching one hot woman for another? And if you don't mind me asking, what is your nationality and what did you study in undergrad?

Isn't one reason that we strive to be successful if we like to admit it or not is to have a "hot" wife.

Sounds like you really like Americans. When I pick a Doctor my first choice is the nut job. You'd probably be perfect as a pathologist but please stay away from the living.

i think medicine is ok as a career. of course we have to write personal statements about how we are so passionate about it and i am certain most people exaggerate their "passion". i think the most appealing part about medicine is that i can supposedly work on lake tahoe or in santa barbara or any other exotic place in usa. also once you become a doctor it is possible in certain specialties to work 6months on/ 6months off. maybe i am mistaken and it's not really possible. but certainly i wouldnt have to commute to manhattan. and there is a slim chance to end up at some university in europe once youve saved up enough money to take the low salary in exchange for prestige.
im sort of a jew but russia is obviously #1. i think any country in east europe is great if you make 6figures. no one would ever think about immigrating to usa if he could make the same amount of $$ in his old country.
i studied biology and math. but it was more biology than math. so i have enough aptitutde to be an actuary barely. but that's not something i could do as a career. it's too nerdy. i could learn a programming language but again not to the level to make it a career... thats why the only alternative to medicine is infantry officer followed by mba. but that again requires too much work(6yrs before you get any kind of reward).

i know if i finish med school, i can take a job as a consultant(in business) and move to moscow. but thats as far fetched as going into the military right now. i mean throwing away a stable career with big money and lake tahoe to start out with a $150k/yr job and a chance to become unemployed with med school debt. but otherwise i must isolate myself to that place in the middle of nowhere and be happy with 1 woman:( in moscow if you are rich and you live in a metropolitan area you can do anything you want with your love life.

oh and to describe some more of my efforts to become successful. i applied for some job, to write practice mcat questions for a certain company. it's a $2k contract. modest i know. but i thought it would be good experience. well theyve now asked me to complete a small online tutorial and im too lazy to do it. im supposed to write 60questions for them. i had written about 40 of them while taking a bus recreationally from one town to another. so it's not too hard. but the problem is that you also need to make graphics with every fourth question to make it more interactive(thats why i took this job, for experience). but im too lazy. like i wouldnt even know how to draw a simple inclined ramp. or how to do it quickly. ive already done nothing in the last 2weeks. im supposed to start finsihing up my med school apps. i think they can annul my contract right now because i havent reported on my progress for so long(i am supposed to submit first half for review in 2wks though). and only 2wks ago i thought it would be easy money and that i would be finished by now. and i figured i could then use this to make money in related jobs. but right now im afraid i won't even make the ~$5k necessary for me to go on vacation to east europe by next spring.
