thehockeykid Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 How important is it for you to become a doctor? I went to a premed meeting earlier this year and one of the members were just like so stuck on becoming a doctor as if it were a life and death ordeal. For me becoming a doctor is a nice goal and it would be nice, however I still know there are other options for me. How important is it for you?

apache Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 not very, in the sense that there are lots of jobs i find fulfilling, so doing any of them would be cool!

I hate to admit it but I'm a little bit like Rachel Berry from Glee (hellooooo... *echo* any Gleeks out here?)in the sense that I'm very set on my goal. BUT for me it's not "life or death." It is very important that I be accepted into medical school, but until then I have a great life, awesome family, awesome boyfriend (also my BFF), fun job, and a very cute cat (second BFF). I just want to make more of a difference and the physician I work for motivates/inspires me a lot to pursue medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Hood Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Being a doctor is very important for me, however, if I don't get in, I will work as a scientist or an actuary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because a large portion of pre-meds are douchebags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
