Coming out of high school I was undecided between becoming a doctor or an engineer. Im happy to report that I became an engineer! I love my job and came out making $60k/yr with zero student loans. Three years later and I cleared $100k/yr. Three yeaes after that $130k/yr. Now at 31 I own three rental properties and made a total of $190k last year in a super low cost of living city. I have a company truck, full benefits, and amazing 401k matching plan. All that sounds great and all but the real happiness comes in that I only work 10 hours a day, 5 days a week. I get to enjoy life with my family. As a doctor I dont think I would have had this work/life balance.

I started college in August 2017 with the goal of becoming a PA and specializing in Pediatric Oncology. I chose this after watching how hard the oncologists worked to help my fiancee's little sister at the Texas Medical Center over the summer. I thought what they did was so amazing and I really wanted to be one of them. After taking Anatomy and Physiology during my first semester, I began to change my mind and started debating whether or not to go into Orthopedic Surgery. While Pediatric Oncology is incredible noble, I have a physical connection to Orthopedics having torn my patellar tendon and meniscus. It was my Anatomy professor who sat down with me and really helped me weigh my options and figure out which direction I want to go in. I had no idea how much Orthopedic Surgeons make until I came across this channel, and I didn't really care about how much they make. It's a cool incentive but my main focus is to help others to not be in the pain that I've been in for over a year.

You start earning minimum wage around your 4-5th year while alternating externship and classes, getting more on you internship past 6th year. You won't be paid as much as you after those 15 years though, which is probably part of the reason why it's actually free to go to the hospitals with just your medicare card. 2 different systems with 2 different outcomes I guess!

Kids love KZitem. There are a lot of good anatomy videos on KZitem and he can even watch real surgeries. Foster in him an interest in his science classes. Chemistry is the big deterrent for many kids as it is very confusing and unlike anything else they do in school. I had literally no idea what was going on in my high school chemistry classes and I’m surprised i even passed. If he can make it through that and follow along with the material and understand it at least a little bit then everything else will come easy to him and he will likely enjoy it. Wish i had some good books to recommend but i don’t. A good place for him to start is learning a lot about the cell (which he has likely already been introduced too) and how important it really is. And i guess lastly, don’t push it! If he wants to back off, let him. He has to chose to want to learn about this stuff because otherwise he’ll grow to hate it. The fact that you are taking an initiative to foster his interests is very telling and likely means ur a great dad, so i wouldn’t be surprised if you already know about or do this stuff. Just thought I’d share my 2 cents. Good luck to you and your son!

Their are a plethora of associate degrees that make over 55k a year, up to 88k a year. For 2 years of school... Watch Dave Ramsey, dig yourself out. There is a difference between broke and poor. 80k in California is bare minimum to own a house, and you have to be very smart with money. The debt incurred from med school can be astronomically high, and idiots don't think about it, because they get sold the high living doctor salary but never told the costs. You can come out of med school with very reasonable debt and pay it off completely during residency years. America has a ton of opportunities, from military to schooling that is very widely available. Community colleges that are a tiny fraction of the cost of universities but move you so much farther ahead. Choosing a stupid major or degree is what screws people over and not having a plan. What are you doing to get yourself more money and living better? The facts show that "the system" isn't against you, you have so many chances of changing your life. So are you going to?

Hi, That's a good question. I actually sat on the admissions board at Georgetown while in med school and learned a quite bit about applying, etc. Lately, most med schools have started to like students with non bio/non chem degrees. But, major in something that you enjoy learning about. If it's not bio or chem, then do the pre-reqs additionally. If you want to major in music, then do that. And then just do the pre-reqs for med school. That will be perfectly fine. If you are past this point, (I'm not sure how far along you are) disregard this. To be competitive, I would say a 3.5/3.6+ and most important is MCAT (500+) As far as extracurricular, just find something you enjoy doing. If this is volunteering at a school, then do that. If it's working with humane society, then do that. Just don't do something just because it will look good on paper. What will make you stand out: 1. A good MCAT score 2. Volunteer work at a hospital or hospital job (scribe, tech, nurse) 3. Real world experience (if medicine will be your second career. For example, you were a teacher for 5 years before applying) 4. Letters of recommendation from mentors, professors, physicians 5. Any unusual things you have done (medical mission trip to Africa, worked as a teacher for teach for America, tutored students in school, did research for 2 years before applying) I hope this helps. Good luck! Remember if medicine is something you really want to do, then NEVER give up. Also, I just published a book about my path to medicine called "Overcoming the Odds" which I talk about my time growing up in the rough streets of Louisiana, my time as a military medic serving in Iraq, and applying to medical school then residency. I give a lot of advice after each chapter. You should definitely check it out before you start med school.

Absolutely do NOT get into medicine, any field, (but especially physician) for the money. Consider -- if you're willing to work a minimum of 80 hours per week -- that you'd be making overtime for 40 of those hours as that security guard (so you'd get paid for 100 hours each week. That's ~ 1400 per week. 1400x52 weeks = $72,800/year. That's $73k per year, now, without mountains of debt associated with training. Of course you won't be able to work 80 hours per week most places, but it demonstrates that the dollars in medicine, early on, will not grant you any happiness. You better be prepared to find happiness in your work, not your lavish lifestyle. In the words of the great poet, DJ Khaled, "A man ought not play himself, for the man who doth is unwise."

@@IbrahimShah You, my friend, do not understand the power of compound interest. Yes, you do three years of res. That is _after_ you've largely been out of an upwardly mobile segment of the workforce during 4 years of undergrad and completely out of the workforce during 4 years of med school. This of course is during a time that compound interest works against your favor for 4+4+3 years on debt worth more than the average mortgage in the US. This makes your debt a liability, and a massive one at that. Basically, if you're trying to build a mountain, would you rather dig a hole for well over a decade and then start building from down there or begin building immediately? Lastly, this is mostly about happiness. Med school and res are ridiculously challenging. Then, once you're done, life as a physician remains challenging... for the rest of time. Yes, money can afford you _kind of_ a lavish lifestyle (you're no billionaire), but it cannot comfort you from the dregs of the human experience nor can it create the kind of satisfaction that comes from performing a task that enriches you on a spiritual, mental, intellectual, and emotional level.

@@IbrahimShah I'm pointing out that, as you said, one must find enjoyment in their profession and have a sincere concern for helping people. I hope you realize that for the vast majority of students, myself included, moving to another country out of high school is simply impractical. Further, the vast majority of graduating high schoolers will lack any semblance of certainty that they will have the kind of sincere faith in profession and dedication to patients -- that you and I agree are essential for a physician -- years down the road. High schoolers are staring a new chapter of life in the face; few will have the resolve required to move to another country, the foresight to do so in order to avoid debt, and the wherewithal to even begin implementing such a endeavor. Yes, the US education system needs revamping. Since it is the most expeditious means to enter medicine in the US, however, students will find themselves subject to its whims and financial burdens. Given this essentially inescapable fact, I must advise against going into medicine for the money. If all one wants is money, there are far less complicated ways of making it rich. You are fortunate to have gone through an alternate route and to have succeeded on that route. That's great. But that is just not an accessible pathway for most students in the US. If it were, schools in the US would be far cheaper, as the demand for their services would be nil until they could compete with schools that charge nothing or very little, like the school you attended.

You're contradicting your own points. First you said doctors don't make good money since residency and college takes too long and you're in too much debt. Then you said Money doesn't buy you happiness (which is kind of obvious). Since you're still a med student and have such a bleak view of this field let me give you more reassurance in hopes that you will proceed to resident life with more optimism. We don't work "a minimum of 80 hours per week"... It's barely even 70. We enjoy what we do and we enjoy the money and the 'lavish lifestyle' that comes with it. Both things go hand in hand. As per going out of country, it might not be possibly for everyone but it is an option for a lot of people. You will notice this once you enter residency, as many of my colleagues did the same. It's common sense that money should never be the driving force in anything, and yes you can make easy money by doing a lot of other things like winninh a fortnite tournament and making 5 million dollars. They'll always be easy ways to make money. The point of this video is to answer the question "do doctor make really good money?" the answer is yes. A lot of money. Should that be the driving force? Ofcourse not.

If you want to be a physician, but want to make a six figure salary immediately after residency then join one of the armed forces FAP program. The Financial Assistance Program (FAP) pays doctors in residency a lump sum of $45,000/yr plus an additional $2,000/month. The catch is you have to serve in the military for every year you receive the benefits. This is still a lot better than being broke for 3-8 years after med school. Join the FAP and go from broke medical student to $120,000/yr immediately after med school.

same her that’s what I’ll be one day. What i’m majoring in next year is bio premed then i’ll continue on to med school. your undergrad major doesn’t matter that much honestly. There ‘a people that majored in film and ended up in med school. I wouldn’t recommend that only because there will be lots of test that you’ll need to do to get into some med schools. So my answer is major in something like bio, chem, bio-chem, or nursing. It’ll pay off in med school only because you’ll have experience on what you’ll be learning and you’ll also be prepared. If you think you might want to do something else take a minor like I myself.
