My social skills are not stellar. I'm a bit awkward, but I can work in a team and be normal. I don't think I'm persuasive or confident enough to convince people to invest in my business.

-1 point business?

I'm by no means an expert on anything but iirc, med isn't actually guaranteed either. It's dependant on test scores and fellowship to get accepted at a hospital and reputation if doing private practice or specialist

>at least 200K
Try again, if I remember correctly most people are surgeons making around 140-165K if they are Physicians or General Practice.

If you become a surgeon or work in emergency room, that's where the 200K+ comes into play. Of course, that requires you to work insane hours and you need to be really good.

You're correct. But once you're accepted into medical school 90% of people graduate and 90%+ of people match into a residency. Maybe not dermatology or surgery, but a decent residency.

I'm American so our salaries are different. My aunt is an oncologist and she had offers for 300k. Surgeons make around 400k. General practitioner would probably be like 150k.

I have heard very little good about medical unless you are good enough to become a surgeon.

Do you want to make money? go into business.

Do you want to save lives and help people more than you want to help yourself? go into medicine

If you can't answer the second question without hesitating you don't belong in medicine.

If you're just in medicine for the money I don't think you'll be able to get through school unless you're a well connected legacy Jew.

Fuck both of them and become a plumber. That's where the big bucks are.

$16/hr for general contractor, and $18/hr if you're union. Oh yea, so much money.


The fucking trade meme needs to die. I believed you guys, but then I actually did my own research, and contacted some unions. The only guys making $60k+ are supervisors and have 15+ years experience.

Medicine.

If you dont like it, people will take you seriously straight away in the business world.

Thats what I did

>>1127409
Why is that? I'm Brazilian and study Medicine, but I'm also very interested in Economics and Finance. Things are pretty different here, though. Why did you make this decision?

medicine = good money, guaranteed, work high status

if you have to the opportunity go for medschool

I'm not really sure if you grasp the sheer amount of work you will be doing as a med student in the US. It is going to be a minimum of 80 hours per week, and when you are on call you are not allowed to sleep. You will have no social life all throughout your residency, and probably through med school as well.

You will make a lot of money after that for sure, but you give a significant chunk of your life to get there and the hours do not get better after residency (not sure why people think they do?).

The only way your hours can get better in a palpable way is to go into private practice, which of course will not happen straight after residency (unless you can join a pre existing one).

For reference, my girlfriend is a surgeon and did a fellowship at HMS, so this is how I know about the US system. If you're in it for the money, medicine is a very bad field to go into so I'd suggest business.
