Same story. Decided i no longer wanted to do this in the middle of class, in the middle of the semester. Picked up my backpack and left. I cried, laughed, and ran to my car. Pure joy. Freeing myself from the opinions of others was the best thing i have ever done.
Wasted a whole seat
@@rodinjoe would have been a wasted life 😊 the seat could always be filled
@@rodinjoe You wasted a whole life😒
No adjusting? Smh
Sounds like you were experiencing burn out already. Smh at least you're happy now. But maybe you gave up too easily.
The medical field is one of those industries you can't get into just for the money or privileges. You gotta have the passion for it and a real deep desire (and the brains!). That field is so freaking demanding and draining you can only do it if you have a deep devotion for it. I personally could never. I also feel that medical professionals should go to school for free, they should be paid to get into that field. The fact that you have to pretty much sign your personal life and mental health away to be doctor or nurse and on top of that graduate owing an obscene amount of money is outrageous to me; especially considering how essential these professionals are.
I agree 💯
You have sense 🫶🏽
Exactly finally someday has said it all
Or if you have parents that would literally disown you if you disgraced them by dropping out.
@@fatimaleger2839 don't listen to them, literary be what you what to be because at the end of the day is about you not them , you need to be happy in what you do in life or else you be stuck there.
I'm also a medical school drop out. I don't regret it not one day!. i was MISERABLE!! Now I'm as happy as i should be, I allowed the Lord to order my steps! Trust Him to lead you, you'll never feel unsatisfied.
I want to be a general surgeon , I’m afraid that I’m going to lose my connection with GOD because I’m gonna be so busy. Did you feel as though you were away from GOD or it took away all your time ? I been worrying about this since middle school and I’m a junior in hs now, I really wanna know because I have a passion for it but I don’t wanna put what I want over what GOD path is for me.
@@y.annniiii5764 I honestly had no time to pour into my relationship with God. I would study until I fell asleep. Get up the next day, go to class, and then study and repeat. But that doesn’t mean that happens to everyone! It is possible to go to med school and still have a connection with God! Pray about it!
@@danikanottage5248 I wanna try so bad but I’m scared that when I get up there imma have to change immediately because nothing comes before GOD. Idk what else to do tho I have no interest in anything else and I want a family as well but not sure if I would have the time. Do you think that’s the lifestyle to have a family in or am I gonna be too busy. Sorry if I’m asking too many questions but since you were there I need to know😂.
It’s all up to you, I know classmates that had a family but sacrifices has to be made. If you can manage time well but MOST IMPORTANTLY if God gave you that desire, He will ensure its completion. I didn’t consult God before going to medical school because I would’ve knew it wasn’t for me.
@@danikanottage5248 ok thank you💞 GOD bless your kind heart❤️
People outside of medicine can’t really imagine why someone would quit or have regrets about being in the medical field. I have been a physician for many years now, and I definitely have my regrets at times. The amount of personal sacrifice, lost time, working holidays and weekends, and financial debt acquired takes a toll. Once you graduate medical school you really have to work as a physician because it is hard to find another career that pays enough to pay off student loans. I am not saying “don’t become a physician “ but I would caution anyone that it is not the lifestyle you think it will be.
Thanks for your honesty!
Facts. If you’re not a doc, you don’t get it. It’s so hard as a doc to get any validation from non docs, especially family (who probably pushed you into medicine and now can’t stop bragging). I hate how all the doctor tv shows and movies are all propaganda. I should have seen that an industry spending millions to create an image of itself is sus. I’m 2 years out of training, and my wife (also a doc) and I decided PGY3 that we’re getting out as soon as we can. Abuse in resdiency was one thing, but the business side of an attending is just different and even more degrades the human aspect. Especially with the looming private equity bozos enticing the old partners with buyouts while the young ones doing all the work get wrecked.
I'm 5 days into nursing school and I hate it. I just don't think it's worth it, but I don't have any interest in anything else. It's a hard feeling to deal with for sure.
I'm not a doctor but medicine seems like the military where the only upside really is the love for the feild
Go to software engineering. You are smart and would do well in that field...And btw it is just as lucrative.
I am a 4th year medical student in a 5year program and I can tell anybody for a fact that passion alone could not have kept me in medical school. Talking about passion, my dad was a lab tech and my mom is a nurse so I grew up seeing medical stuffs at a very tender age and I was so intrigued. I fell in love but when I started my first year and I was so off, didn't know how to study that much material in such a limited time and feeling disappointed because I wasn't on my usual A game, I almost gave up but looking back I can vividly see that every time I got frustrated and drained and lifeless, God gave me a spark. He filled me up just enough to take me through another cycle. He reminds me why he placed me on this path so I applaud you for listening to the voice of God and may your story not only encourage young believers to listen to God when its to quit but also when its to persevere. Thank you for sharing.
I was an MLS (lab tech, medical technologist, etc.) before i became a PA. I thought about going into med school but realized another 8 or so years of constant studying and doing clinicals was not going to work for my life. I ultimately decided my personal life, family, friends, just experiencing life was more important to me. Medicine is great, but i don’t want to dedicate the time required to be the best doctor for my patients. PA allows me to have that perfect balance.
Wow, I’m having the same struggle
Me here praying to God that if I am meant for med school I should just b there without problem buh if not he should make a peaceful path for me 😢
Thank you for sharing your story.😊 As I Nigerian American I felt a lot of shame dropping out of med school after 2 years. I have many relatives in the field. After much much prayer and depression, I left, despite my parent's pleas. I had ~$100k debt + interest. I now work as a clinical trial manager in pharma and am almost done paying off my student loans. I'm better suited for operations and leading a team than memorizing textbooks and drugs. Funny enough I work with a lot of physicians now.
How did you get that job? I need something like that
@@tamartayxo I did an entry level job - IRB Coordinator and Clinical study assistant - then worked my way up. Other entry level jobs are Clinical trials assistant or CRA.
@@nazikiwe8259 thank you, I def need to do something like that
Well done to you. You’re successful in your own right and I applaud your strength to keep going❤
How much work/stressful is your job?
Medicine is one of those things where if you're not passionate about it, you are going to struggle. The amount of time you have to put into medical school and then being a doctor, if you don't think you're going to enjoy it or atleast find it tolerable, life is going to suck. And it's not like it's a cheap degree, either.
And most importantly, not the type of doctor you want to be - disinterested and unmotivated. These types of doctors do much more harm than good.
@@quackdracular7610 yes, I've had far too many doctors who didn't give two hoots and likely chose medicine because of their parents!
Most physicians are not even passionate about medicine. It’s mostly about grit.
I used to tell my soldiers that the Army isn’t for everyone. It doesn’t mean you would have been a bad soldier only that someone else needs to be in your place. It’s OK to walk away and stay on that crooked path until you’ve found your path and purpose. Don’t give up🙏
@@thetruthsayer8347 No it's about intellectual stimulus. You can dislike clinical practice (patients) and become a great researcher (or teacher), and make a real difference but in a different way.
Britt thank you for sharing this story . The fact that you stated "Im going to God about this " yess so many people need to understand that making a decision according to God's voice is always the best . God bless you britt , been watching your videos for awhile and following your other platforms you are such a blessing 😊🙏🏼💕💕
Thank you so much!!!
@@britttanyrose you're so welcome 😊❤💕
Oh yesssss
“Why did God allow me to get in medical school ?” God doesn’t force us to follow the plan He has for us because He is gentle (Matthew 11:29). He allows us to see the plans we created are not His (Jeremiah 29:11). And once we said yes to His way He’s there with open arms.❤️ The beautiful thing about God is He already planned a way out for when we don’t stick to His plan. You’re on the right path continue to trust in Him. Thank you for sharing your journey!
Annndddd this is the reason experts are pushing students not to enter medical school until you’re 28 years old. I’m a nontraditional student, and deciding to go into medicine with growth, and life experience helped a lot; there is no way I would have done it at 21. Best of luck on your journey 💞🌷
I haven't heard that recommendation but I support that. Personally, I don't think college should even be on the table until 25.
I'm a nontrad med student, too! 42 years young & starting rotations in August. It's definitely interesting how God and life lead us down our paths in unexpected little ways - that's why I don't judge others and their life decisions. If you would have asked me 15 years ago where I would be today, med school would not have been even in the top 10 things I would have listed.
Best wishes on your life journey!
@@parisaha WOW! That's amazing; best wishes to you also.
I agree! I’m a third yr medical student at 29. I feel like it was the best decision. I got to enjoy my 20s and met my fiancé before med school. A lot of my classmates in their early 20s struggled HARD during preclinicals. Definitely depends per individual tho
Wow! That is a fantastic Idea!
As a med student myself, I appreciate her honesty. The part about passion is 100% true. Money is not enough of a reason to pursue a career in this profession. I have come to realize that. Takes courage to make a decision like this so kudos to her.
I love how you went to God first for all your worries. You made me realize to always bow down to Him in prayer with any hardships (which I haven't been doing as a fellow med schooler). Glad this popped up on my home page!
Amen! I was supposed to watch this because God is reminding me to trust in everything he is doing. There is a song called “I Trust You” by Jonathan Taylor ai believe his name is and it reminds me to trust in God always because he knows what is best.
Thank you for sharing your experiences! I’m currently a 3rd year med student about to start rotation in August and studying for Step 1. The amount of stress, anxiety, and panic attacks I’ve had during med school ESPECIALLY studying for boards is outrageous. Med school is no joke, it’s a long marathon so I completely understand where you’re coming from. There were so many red flags that med school was not the path for you and I’m glad you sought the Lord’s advice.
If it’s God’s will for you to drop out then let it be. He has plans to prosper you not to harm you, plans for hope and a future. His will for our lives is much better than any plan of ours, so wait on Him and trust His guidance. If He can feed the crows everyday on Earth then imagine how much more He can and will do for you. I wish you the best with your endeavors and May God bless all of your projects.
Many meds students abuse prescription drugs to cope. I lost my friend that way 6months after he completed his service year & was free to do what he wanted. By the time he was done with med school he was addicted to Adderall, Xanax & painkillers. He fell asleep while driving & crashed his car.
Hey, I'm a fellow M3! Also starting my rotations next month, and recently found out I passed Step 1!
But tbh, medical school for me created so much stress in my life. It wreaked havoc on not only my mental health, but my physical health as well. I felt too busy to go to the gym or prep healthy meals, and quickly began gaining weight. I've put on like 40lbs, no joke. I stopped making time to date people, and basically put my social life on hold. Also, my periods became so irregular because of all my stress studying for exams. I had a panic attack the night before step 1, and had to pay $150 to delay my exam by ONE day just so I could calm myself down. It was a nightmare.
Yet, I still know this is the path for me. I have to learn to cope with the stressors in a healthier way, because I absolutely cannot see myself doing any other job for the rest of my life.
Good luck with Step 1 :)
Thank you for this! I'm about to start classes soon and I definitely appreciate your transparent comment. I will definitely be praying my way through Medical School.
@@beewest5704 I’m so sorry 😢 that is beyond sad.
Thank you for the transparency. Good luck with your journey!
The thing about college that many people overlook is that your time in college is meant as a period of discovery, figuring out who you are, what you want and what you don't want, for your life path. That discovery doesn't always translate into a degree, but it's still a graduation into your future. Congrats! Good Luck! God Bless!
Hey Brittany, I never comment on videos, but I just had to add a comment after watching this. I am in my 4th year of medical school and I just want you to know how Spiritually uplifting it has been to listen to your story. I love that you are leaning wholeheartedly on God, because He is the only one that can provide you with the peace and joy to make it through. I pray that the Lord will give you all you need to succeed and be used by Him to be a blessing to others. Wish you the best!!
Thank you!!!
I’m knee deep in my PhD in biology/cancer and I always joke that if you want easy money you should avoid the medical field at all costs lol. I think sometimes it’s hard to realize that it takes so much more than innate intelligence to finish, you have to have that passion, perseverance and an undying love for what you do to reach the end of these extremely long and difficult professional degrees - otherwise you might be set up for a life of hating what you do for a living even with Dr. in front of your name. This actually makes me think about the stories of those who did really poorly in their undergrad/failed the MCAT, but because of their passion they were still able to get into medical school and finish their MD. You gotta go with the plan that’s right for your life!
I got my PhD in cancer biology and liked it, but what I was doing was so basic, it was years away from helping cancer patients. So I earned my Master of Public Health, left the wet lab, and I'm now a professor teaching health sciences and doing research on breast cancer treatment in Black women. You never know where you are going to end up!
@@shahnjaylaconnors1476 what does being black have to do with breast cancer? Sounds like some pseudo science, good luck with that
@@kiloton1920 sounds like pseudo science but you're not even educated on the correlation...LOL
@@kiloton1920 Black women develop breast cancer just like any other women. Black women are diagnosed with breast cancer earlier, with more advanced stages, and are more likely to die from breast cancer than other racial/ethnic groups. You can look it up. Also, as a Black woman I choose to focus on working with Black women. I shared my experience and didn't imply anything about other women with breast cancer.
@@8beautylover8 ya I’ve never heard of the study of black cancer, that’s not a thing, everybody gets cancer it has nothing to do with race.
I thought I wanted to be a dr my whole life. I got a biology degree. I applied to only one school ( already a sign I stopped caring because that was the only school that didn't require more essays for their secondary) and interviewed at that school but got wait listed. I was going to reapply but covid hit and I started rethinking my whole life. So now I'm in a one yr accelerated nursing program (BSN) and I'm halfway through. The decision to not go to med school took such a weight off my shoulders. I realized I was at the point of only doing it because that's always been the plan rather than it being what I still wanted. My parents weren't the happiest but they aren't paying.
Your last sentence was key.
My daughter Is a Biology major. She has decided to be a nurse practitioner, Im supportive.
Am also planning to start acceralated BSN soon, how easy or hard is it?
I also majored in biology. I wanted to be a doctor for the longest time. I decided it wasn’t the best choice for my family and I. I was a single mom at the time and I knew it was gonna be a long and expensive journey that I was just not prepared for. I needed to start making money sooner than later. I’ve been a ICU nurse for 7 years now and don’t regret it!
@@moreennakalungi7371 I like to think of it as one year of med school 🥴 my program in extremely self taught outside of the few labs and clinicals. Read the book and take the test. There is no instruction time. It definitely sucks but you gotta do what you gotta do. the pace is what makes it hard because you have such a small amount of time to learn information before the test. Anxiety is through the roof but I got this and so do you!! Good luck!
I recently left medical school and entered for the same reason as Brittany. I was at the top of my batch in my first year but come 2nd year, I entered depression and my grades dropped drastically! I decided to call it quits 2 months before the summer, I wasn’t passionate and it’s people’s lives I’d be dealing with and that’s a huge responsibility!
What do you do now my friend
I see a young lady whose passion is entrepreneurship and who will use her knowledge of science to create amazing products for the hair, face etc. Go with courage in the direction ahead of you.
exact;y what i was thinking
describes me perfectly and i know she can do it too❤
Some people commenting on this video really don't seem to understand that passion CANNOT overcome burnout or even prevent mental health issues. I'm not in medical school, but I am in PT school, and every day I am grateful I chose the flex route because I likely would have dropped out had I chosen the residential route. I crave balance in my life, and I don't think having this desire makes one somehow less passionate for the thing they're pursuing. It's just, if you're only ever a one-trick pony, you are inevitably going to crash and burn. No amount of love or desire for something can prevent this. This is like saying you will put up with anything and everything with your SO because you love them so much and are so passionate about your relationship with them. I don't know what the solution is, but for me it was choosing to spend an extra year in school while being able to have time to do everything I else I enjoy doing to make me a more balanced, well-rounded person who will have the energy to give when she graduates. I won't be burned out from the get-go.
agree.. most doctors I met did not go for passion but for money and the Dr. name.. Most i've met are grumpy, don't know what they are talking about and walk around like they are better than people... very annoying. I have been to the ER many times and have been told outrageous things. Even by nurses.. I question why the medical field think it's okay to tell people whatever they want. It is not passion, or care... always aggression..
With everything you said, I definitely get why you made this decision. If you want to be a doctor you really do have to have that passion to be a doctor. If you're only pursuing being a physician for the money, you are going to get a rude awakening. It's ALOT of work and can take a toll on your mental health. Trust me I am in a constant battle with my mental health every week lol but I know for a fact that this is what God wants me to do. I encourage anybody that is really unsure about what they wanna do in life, take your time to figure it out. Don't rush yourself and dont let anybody rush you because at the end of the day its your life.
I'm a freshman undergraduate pre-med, but I don't have a passion, per-say for medicine, just an awakening curiosity you could say. The main reason I'm following this path right now is because my parents want me to, but I doubt my decision whenever I hear stories of med school students committing suicide or suffering because of the workload...I would love to choose another profession, but I have no idea what to do...
@@tanviv9454 you’re a freshman so you have plenty of time to figure out if you really want to be a doctor. But definitely do not pick a career just because your parents want you to do it. Sometimes you may have to experience different classes to find what your passion is. I’ve had plenty of friends that initially majored in biology but switched psychology, technology, education, etc. It’s your life at the end of the day and not theirs. Do not let anybody push you to do something that you don’t know if you want to do
I laughed out loud at rude awakening! Because it's a 24/7 job but you only get paid a fixed salary. There is no clock out time. The money isn't hourly at all.
@@BarelySaneGenius and then the salary that ppl keep referring to, really doesn’t come until after residency. There are plenty of residents especially 1st years still struggling financially
@@jenny24625 are you currently a doctor? I’m a second year medical student and I’m really dreading the year to come esp with boards. I feel that I will hate this job, but another part of me is like, well, you haven’t even made it to rotations and you might really fall in love with a specialty. Then another part of me is like you have another 6/7 years minimum until you finish residency and you could HATE YOUR JOB. Then what? Why is life in general just so stressful. I wished they exposed children to different career paths early on and maybe we’d have more luck in a career we actually liked. But that’s a whole other problem in and of itself.
If you tell a medical student that you're leaving med school, they WILL understand on a different level. It's a different ball game and it's not a matter of being smart. At that point everyone is smart. It comes down to asking yourself every single day "Do you want to be a physician?" and answering honestly. Because if it's no, save yourself the stress, time and money. If it's yes, you know what you have to do to get there and you do it. I have told a number of people not to do it because it's not for everyone.
Medical school SUCKS. Personally, I can't see myself doing anything but being a doctor. I truly love medicine. Doing it for any other reason is not worth it.
Yes. It could be it just wasn't for her. She may have too many interests.
Me too. I keep being told it's a hard long degree even in my country. But it doesn't bother me. I have a goal to achieve to help the sick in my country. And that goal give one hope. If it takes studying and not going out much to get to my goal and calling in life it's okay.i believe God put me on this path.
@@zamzamahmed3473 you can do it!!
Yes but being a doctor is NOT medical school. I'm a medical student and I know that. It's 4 sometimes 3 years. Can you not go through hardship for 3 years? Versus job security, respect. Money status and purpose for a lifetime. GeT Real!
@@Be1smaht it's not a matter of ability, she doesn't want to. There are other ways to have job security money and respect.
I did a PhD in Psychology and it almost killed me! lol. Too much research, data and stress. Your mental health matters. The only thing that got me through was Gods grace and some of the interesting aspects of my research. There's a scripture that says too much study makes one tired (Ecclesiastes 12:12). It can be draining, depressing and exhausting to mentally push through something, especially if your not passionate about it. I think you did the right thing. Do you ship your products to the UK?
i’ve always dreamed about to become a psychiatrist since i was 5 for years i have been deciding if it’s really what i want but it’s all i have been dreaming of i can’t see myself doing anything else sadly. ik i won’t give up cuz i have a vision for myself and i honestly can’t wait for the long journey 💗
I have one year left of my PhD ( I’m in dissertation mode) and yet everything has fallen apart ( can’t afford cost of living around my uni, mental trash, weight gain, I’m not prepared for the work force). I’m literally praying whether I should finish or not.
@@kendramorancy4893 just one more year i promise you it will go by quick we already have less than 7 months left of 2022 it was just january please hold on🥺💗💗
@@kendramorancy4893 please hold on Kendra. This might just be the turning point. It takes a woman about nine months to birth a child. Imagine after all that effort put through and suddenly in labor, something wrong happens.
It would be labor in vain. Even the Israelites had to go through a lot to get to the promise land. Imagine the different challenges they went through right from Egypt.
Hold on Kendra. Sometimes just when God wants to answer our prayers, the devil does a lot to abort or steal out blessings. But you won't let that happen, you will go into full prayer mode, you will depend on his word the bible, you will fast, you will trust in the Lord your God, Kendra you will finish up that degree. And that is a declaration!!!
Nursing student here and thought really hard about getting a PsyD and opening up my own practice some day, but those loans are something serious!
This is a great video! I myself turned down medical school after being accepted because I felt God calling me to a different path. It’s a scary choice at first to leave stability, prestige, and guaranteed money but the peace you gain from God is worth so much more!
This is why you don’t choose medicine just for money and prestige!! This process is reallll ghetto and I advise any premed interested to really think about the sacrifices and work you have to put yourself through. You really have to LOVE medicine to do get through this process, cause it’s a ridiculously long process. (Signed your friendly neighborhood ortho resident). Proud of you for making this tough decision. Tons of students feel the same way as you do and only stick it out bc of loans and other financial restrictions and it’s really sad, cause patients deserve doctors that WANT to do what they need to do to provide the best treatment
😂😂😂
I went to med school and finished, however over the years of studying It I've always contemplated to leave but couldn't make a solid decision and didn't know what else I would have done so I stayed. Just graduated in march of this years and home for less than a month now. Now people be on my case because I don't want to be a doctor or continúe in medicine. Every minute people have something to say like 'you spent 7 years studying med you can't leave now' ' why did you study medicine then' and these are the same people who when I told them of my conflict of leaving med school they were like ' this is an oppertunity that so many people would love to have, you should be grateful' or 'you've already been there for how many years' 'you want to waste the years you've already invested' blah blah blah. But now they asking why I decided to study medicine and stayed. It's annoying. There was only one person form the beginning who wanted me to come home and find something else to do. I should have listened to him.
However i'm trusting God for the outcome of my life. Ain't tryna do anything without consulting God first and being certain ever again.
Psalm 27. 13-14 for you!
I discouraged my daughter from med school! Best decision ever!
It's never too late to find what's for you. I'm doing just that, 20 years later. No need to wait as long as me. Pray on it and follow whatever path makes you happy. Pray that what you want is his will and that it's truly for you.
I appreciate your bravery! No matter what you decide, everything is going to be alright. Listen to your heart, it will direct you on the right path.
Please pay no attention to what others say. It might be challenging, especially with all the guilt tripping but please do what is best for you.

Thank you for sharing this amazing story. So many people are out there settling for careers they do not enjoy. I was two semesters into my radiation therapy program when I decided...NOPE, This is not what I want to do. The dean was shocked when I gave him my letter of intent to withdrawl. I never looked back. Some things are just not meant to be but finding your happiness and niche in life are priceless. Kudos to you Brit! 👍👍
your journey to medical school is almost identical to mine. When you said you wanted to be a triple threat, I cracked up. I remember being like 10 thinking I was gonna be the next Beyonce and a journalist. I recently finished my third year of medical school and about to take STEP 2. I've never had anxiety attacks until this year and I gained 30 lbs. I decided to take a year off to take care of myself and figure out if this is for me. Thank you for sharing your story and being open and honest. God's got you covered!
Your story is scarily close to mine. I was going straight down the doctor and pa route. But I knew it was not really for me. So I ended up going to phlebotomy school because I needed to get some experience for the medical field while I continued to take my medical school prerequisites. Anyway, I was in anatomy and physiology one day and I decided to drop out of school and pursue phlebotomy full time after graduating from the program. it was really scary, and when I told my parents they threatened to kick me out of the house unless I got a job. But now, I found one and I could not be happier. I am so glad that you took what your dad said about social media and decided to get your Master's. As the current moment as I work on my business and work in phlebotomy, I cannot see the full path. But all I know is that I am the happiest I have ever been even on my bad days.

Author of "since when did single mean sad" :) (Also, you are so pretty).
Absolutely!!!
Thanks for sharing! I have a very similar story (introverted, didn’t participate in premed orgs, didn’t volunteer). I planned to get more involved and then the pandemic hit. I have a cousin my age in nursing and hearing her stories made me question medicine. But I still finished all the prerequisites. I planned to finish my Masters degree in Health Education during my gap year. I knew I needed to volunteer, work, study for the MCAT & most importantly find my passion.
I worked remotely in the summer (and I LOVED IT OMG) but then the job ended. It was the work life balance I was looking for. I had the time to pursue my hobbies, travel, vlog, hit the gym, cook etc. Then I found a full time job as a program coordinator at a health clinic. I desperately missed remote work. I determined that medicine was not for me (my parents were heartbroken lol). I prayed about it and turned to God. Then, I researched all potential career directions.
I learned about the world of technology & how vast it was (ux design (great for psychology majors btw), cybersecurity, project management etc). Plus you can work in different industries like healthcare, finance, business. Not to mention great pay & remote. I just enrolled in a bootcamp and now looking forward to a new job in 2023. Wishing you the best on your journey! 🙏🏾
Amennn, thanks for sharing this sis. I have a similar experience, but I didn’t get accepted into med school. Pre-Med for 4.5 years, took the MCAT twice; I thought being an E.R. Doctor was my calling, but I’m called to deny myself, take up my cross, and follow Yahusha (Jesus) like He tells us in Matthew 16:24. A lot of times, He uses experiences to show us what His will isn’t in order to mature us into learning & receiving what His will is. This points to why He tells us “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you (Matt. 6:33). When I put my ambition down, then I was ready to steward the responsibility of being a Holistic Nutritionist/entrepreneur with the privilege of glorifying Him, serving people by helping them eat healthfully & reverse chronic health conditions with the plants He created-without letting a career, or the “luxury” that comes with it, get the glory by shaping my idea/mindset of success. Whoever does His will and walks in His ways will always have success (Joshua 1:8). Even without a career, money, a job, or social esteem, we have eternal riches in the King of Kings, Who shed His blood for us to live, and that’s real Treasure that’ll never fade away (1 Pet. 1: 23-25, Luke 12:33). Much love & God bless ❤
Rising High School Senior: This is the first video I watched of yours! I just want to thank you for sharing your story because I am feeling all the feelings you are currently. Listening to your story made me feel validated. I don't know where I am heading after this year even though I am in all these clubs. Although I am younger than you, it is scary to think about and gives me anxiety not knowing if I am heading in the right direction, if colleges will accept me, or what major I should be in. But God doesn't fail! Sending lots of love to you! 🥰
You got this!!!
I went through something similar during my senior year of undergrad. I was a Music Education major and my main goal was/is to become a choral conductor (and make history while being african american because you don't see that too often lol). I only chose music education because I knew I could conduct, but I didn't want to teach in the public schools. As I got deeper into the Fall semester of my senior year, I noticed myself slipping into a depressive state because I was taking classes for a degree I didn't want. I eventually withdrew from the class that caused me stress and focused on myself for a bit. Then a wonderful opportunity came up for me at a very prestige college to study for my masters in Choral Conducting. I took that as a sign from God to continue going after the dream he planted in my heart, switched over to Music Performance (a MUCH better decision) and graduated much earlier than Education would have allowed me. Just as you, I knew music ed would bring me money, but was it bringing me happiness? Not at all haha. You know, I was often told that studying music is just as difficult as being a medical student and it is veryyyyy true. With education, I had to learn how to play every instrument known to man and idk how I did it lol. I want you to know, you are not alone and God has wonderful things in store for you. It is scary to not know what is next, but that is why we must trust God in everything we do. I look forward to seeing what is in store for you next. Keep going queen!
Thank you for the encouragement and thank you for sharing your experience🥰
Starting my third semester in Music Ed next month… it’s a lot. Especially Theory and Aural skills. But I’m gonna do my best and push through, I’m double majoring in education and performance currently.
Good for you!
I discouraged my daughter from going to Med school!
I want a happy daughter NO matter what!
She loves what she is doing now and has a very balanced life!!!
She is so lucky to have a supportive mother like you, it is so important to have family support , may God bless you both.
Why would you discourage her?
What if that's what she wants? Have you ever asked her what she wants? If she wants it she can do it and ace it well. Yeah I agree med school isn't one of the easiest but I can't imagine living my life not being a Medical Doctor. So ask her what she wants and if she's still into med school please give her all your support. She can still be saneeeeeee I'm very much Sane and alive although I'm a med student and yesss!! I'm very very happy.
@@dreamer.0 Amen! Thank you!
@@courttttttt No one knows a child better than a GOOD mother! I realised she was being swayed more by the APPROVAL off others than what she really loves ! She is now working with MATHS and her side hustle fashion and beauty which she absolutely loves! I pray that all the med students get all the love and support needed!
I completely understand where you’re coming from… I completed my residency 2 years ago in the middle of a pandemic… and I definitely wish I had taken a different path in life. Right now; I’m focusing on paying off my loans for more financially freedom; then my goal is to only work 10 days a month… and focus the rest of the month on myself.
I do agree with you… medical school course load is insane… each block/ organ system exam is equivalent to an undergrad semesters worth of information… that time of my life was the most antisocial part of my life… I literally feel like I sold my 20’s for a degree. Granted though; I am grateful for all God has blessed me with.
How?
I can relate to you so much! I’m 20, living with my parents, super introverted, bio major and have not done anything for my med school application. However, I’m passionate and it’s something I want to do but I never had anyone to point me in the right direction and to tell me about the extracurricular requirements that medical schools need. I just started seeing these medical school videos recently and started doing more research on google and I’m so far behind on everything. I’m in my junior year and have to do everything in these last two years so I’m a little frustrated because of my lack of information. I graduated in 2020 and attended a community college (online classes) so It did not even occur to me that medical schools ask for extracurricular stuff in addition to academics😂. I moved to America not long ago, so I was definitely adjusting to this education system. Your videos are helping me🙌🏽.
Phew! This was a message I needed to hear because I am at cross road with no back up plan and my mind is running a million miles an hour. Thank you Britt for sharing your story and vulnerability! You have jumpstarted something in me :)) God bless you as you embark on this new journey!.
Omg me too. And I have been at this cross road for about 2 years now. I have no back up plan and don’t even know how I will survive. +$100k debt, no family or friend that can help, and societal pressure. I’m terrified.
that cadaver lab is intense. I felt so many emotions in lab during nursing school & even cried on our last day of lab I felt gratitude towards the person & their family for their service. It was life changing for sure
Thank you for getting straight to the point and not click baiting us like some not the fake drop out vids do For views. Sorry for the experience. Glad you’re at peace.
My experience I went to school for criminal justice and hit caught up with my bf... And failed now I'm single mom realizing how smart I am over time now I'm focusing on nursing so I can show my autistic son he has smart genes in his blood ❤️
Thank you for sharing. People get offend when you tell them it is okay to realize a job is not for you.
Bravo! As an older woman I wish I would have trusted my gut more. I basically did everything I was supposed to do only to be counting down the next 7 yrs so that I can finally do what I want at 57.
When you said to just trust God if we’re in a period of uncertainty, I really needed to hear that!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story ❤️ all the best to you and your business!
I had A similar experience with going to college all to gather. I’m still a undergrad student though. I worked really hard all my life getting good grades so when I came to college I was tired. But I kept going though. Last year I was not right and I ask God and he told me to leave, so I did. But when it was time he sent me right back to college to finish. I just found out recently the reason he allowed me to leave was because I wasn’t physically healthy (I had a mold issue in my apartment and it almost killed me). So I had to recover from it (I had to leave my apartment) but God literally provided me somewhere to stay for 7 months. God literally told me I was going to be staying where I was for 7 months. I also let go of somethings I was holding on to that was causing me to be distracted from the purpose God has for me. I also learned why God wanted me to finish college. In that 7 months life was miserable (but I had God with me). I had a choice go my way which would lead to death or go Gods way to life and abundance. I hated where I was staying, but literally 7 months later I was back in college. God made me clear all my distractions just to put me back on track. He made me quit my job because I wouldn’t listen when he said it’s time for you to sign up for school (I told him I’ll do it later). But I needed to sign up when he said to or I would’ve missed my chance. I received a new advisor and God used her to make 2 years of school into 1 year and a half. I signed up for just in a enough time to take summer classes. The person I was staying with had got evicted and so I had no other choice but to live on campus (because I was had summer classes I was able to move on campus) if I didn’t have those summer classes I would have had no where to live. When I moved on campus I was by myself. My boyfriend and I broke up and I was broke. However God took care of me. I literally had to let go of everything and everybody but because of that I grew stronger with God this summer, and I’ve been getting straight a’s this summer too. I’m rested and excited 😆 to finish. I gained God from letting go of the world and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. It was not easy but it had the best results. God told me he’s excited for my last up coming school year, so it makes me excited too! I literally get a fresh start on life! I’ve been reborn again and now I’m doing this thing with God. I lost everything over these 4 years. But imma bout to gain even more these next years! God is A God of rest and peace. He said Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
This is so similar to my story 😭 I’m so proud of you and I don’t even know you. It’s hard to make these decisions,but honestly, when you know…you know. It can just be scary because you feel like you did so much to get there and you’re throwing it away. So glad you shared this,especially your approach in going to God about it.
It happens and it's good that you've accepted it and you're not beating yourself up about it. External pressures are real but ultimately we all have to do what's best for us. Keep God first and there's no way you can ever go wrong 🙏🏾
Look into public health !!! It’s an awesome field to be in especially for this who want to be involved within the healthcare system and make a difference in the community , without the high demand! It’s great for people who are creative and like to try new things. I currently am a program coordinator and I love it. It’s so many avenues in public health I’m so glad I made the decision.
*those
@@noellemobley3292 how? do you need to get a master's degree for public health?
@@AB-uv7ne you don’t HAVE to get an MPH, but it definitely opens up more opportunities and will likely increase your pay
I enjoy stories that are straight to the point while being interesting & relatable.🙏🏽
Love your videos.
Zephaniah 3:20 - "At that time I will gather you. At that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the Earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes, says the Lord."
God restores us. You're doing great.
I really appreciate your video! I just applied and down deep I’m worried that it’s not going to be what I’ve dreamt it to be. It’s always disheartening when you work so hard to get somewhere and when you get there it doesn’t fulfill you like it should. I don’t want to be in position where I just thug it out because I’m already there or I’m afraid of change because I lowkey been doing that my whole life. So thank you for posting this because you made me feel like I’m allowed to change my mind if I feel in my spirit that it’s not meant for me.
If you would really encourage you to do a lot of soul searching before accepting any offers from schools, especially if you're a US student. If your heart isn't fully in medicine, don't make yourself suffer through all the stress and financial burden. It's okay to take a gap year (or a few) to figure things out :)
Thank you for posting this, I resonate with your story heavily. I already had a career and I loved it so much and I was told I could do more and I should go back to school and I was like meh I’m okay I’m happy! Well then I had a flux of people tell me I wouldn’t make it anyway if I tried. so I decided to go for it and prove them all wrong so I decided to go to college at 22 years old and worked 2 full time jobs while I finished my undergraduate in biology (getting all A’s and B’s) then I moved across the country to finish my bachelors of animal science in the school I thought wanted to go to vet school in. once I got there I started feeling so much regret and feelings of why the heck am I even here? do I even want this? So I asked god about it (I’m 26 at this point) I prayed and prayed and prayed and it was clear to me that vet school wasn’t in my path God had set for me I didn’t take this lightly because I was the first person in my family to go to college and it feels like everyone’s counting on me it was so stressful I had family not understanding that they shouldn’t call me doctor because I wasn’t a doctor so every time they saw me the would ask “how’s doctor baylie” “doctor baylie” it made me cringe it was unsettling and so it was very hard to come up terms that I wasn’t even going to apply or go to vet school, but at that point I was saying to myself well I need to finish SOMETHING I didn’t spend all this time and stress in school for nothing, so I started planning out how I should just finish up my bachelors degree, I thought to myself well I’ll just finish my degree in animal science and call it good….I started hating animal science, it became so difficult and hard to retain the information I started thinking of what I could even do with a BS in animal science and all the jobs paid the same as what my previous career was (that I was and still am passionate about) I contemplated all the majors I could switch to and I had no motivation for any of them I was so lost. I got down on my knees repented and prayed I balled my eyes out god made it clear to me I needed to drop out even if I don’t finish anything because he did not want me on this path the reason? Well I was doing this to prove people wrong I was doing this out of pride I came to terms with it and I felt my whole body relax it was surreal.
It's okay babe, you saved your mental health. Think about it this way. It actually takes a lot of courage. So many people want to do this but don't know what it takes, especially to be good at it which THEY HAVE TO BE because people's lives actually depend on it.
Edit: And babe you'll go to grad school, the Lord is looking after you, so don't worry.
Absolutely!!!
It's literally life and death decision making. All the time. That amount of responsibility is scary.
I just made a big life changing decision also, left it in God's hands and a door opened. I walked through with peace and a smile. Super excited for what's to come and don't even know but I trust God and know the growth will be good. Best wishes on your journey. 🙏🏿
I’m soooo happy I came across your page!! This video is so relatable. I recently went through a similar thing however I wanted to be a nurse and I started to lose my passion for it. I became very depressed and I leaned on God so he could tell me which way to go because Atp i had no idea. He revealed to me that my purpose is to have a nonprofit. I have no clue how that’s going to happen but I’m just walking the path he has laid out for me. Literally walking by faith and excited to see how his glory will show! Thank you so much for sharing this is very relatable! God bless your journey!
awww girl your skin!!please film a skin care!!
I got u!!!
You have to love medicine to be in med school. If your passion is not there, it starts to show fairly quickly. I love medicine and there is absolutely nothing on this planet that interests me as much as becoming a doctor. I think that whatever a person chooses to do in life, the passion has to be there. The job or school will otherwise start to suffer.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and I am glad you are one step closer to being on the path that's right for you! As a medical student, i get that it's not for everybody. key red flags that medicine may not be a right fit are 1. a dislike of learning/lifelong education (even as a doctor you will always have to learn and take standardized exams) 2. dislike of routine- medicine can be exciting but every specialty has its bread and butter cases that represent majority of patient visits 3. wanting to make money- some doctors do make a lot of money but only after years and years of training and debt. Trust, there are better ways.
things that aren't necessarily dealbreakers are: 1. fear of anatomy- some programs do prosection (no cutting required) 2. being bored by [insert specialty here]- there are so many specialties and different avenues you can take in medicine. 3- not liking your premed courses- medicine is NOTHING like premed classes; I haven't touched physics or ochem in years lol. As long as you have an appreciation for science, are studious, and passionate about patient care, you will be fine. Get clinical experience to get a better taste of what medicine is actually like! Hope this helps anyone who may be reconsidering medicine.
I really think the signs were there a long time ago. Sometimes we get so focused on the goal we have in our minds, we forget to ask ourselves if we really even want it. Better to leave early than tough it out and become a doctor that is unhappy. You deserve to do the things that you want. I hope you get the support you need in this journey.
So proud of you for being self aware enough to know you were not happy and choosing a different path. ❤️❤️❤️yes, you will be successful at whatever you do but it’s best to have passion in your career so you live a healthy life. Ive seen so many people in the medical field wish they left before they got too deep into it.
God does not waste one drop of life experiences, including both good and bad…successes and failures. The knowledge you have gained along the way will be used when you be to walk in your true purpose. Once you start walking in your true purpose, you will look back and it will all make sense! God bless you! Stay close to God no matter what! He will be the best guider above anyone else, even above those who love you the most. God loves you even more than that🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing your story. I recently got my Law degree and just last month got accepted into University, but after leaving college I needed very desperately to take a break not only for my mental health but also because pursuing law was never something I was 100% passionate about. I am currently taking a gap year, and in this time I’ve had a couple weeks to think about what I truly want to do. I’ve had dreams for as long as I could remember to learn forensic science and become a medical examiner, after making several calls and doing my research on colleges abroad, I contemplate whether or not it’s worth it. Firstly, it’s not cheap! and I would hate to fail and feel as though I wasted my money. I don’t want to have these thoughts, I haven’t even gotten to that stage yet, but I can’t help but wonder. In the end, the alternative might be to become a mortician, but that I want to consider a last option, I have to at least try.
This should be mandatory viewing for all med students! I’m sad that this wasn’t your path. You’re a really brilliant woman and I’m sad I’m losing on a potential colleague 😿 But, mental peace is everything, especially when there is a spiritual drive behind why med school wasn’t a good fit. Im glad you shared your story. It made me reflect on my own journey and what I have ahead of me 🫶🏽
Love that you're honest about your walk with God ❤️❤️
Girl, we share very similar testimonies 🙌🏾 so proud of you🙏🏾
Keep walking in faith! God clearly has you on the path you are meant to be on. Like you said… even though med school wasn’t for you, it was a path towards your gap year which lead to your passion. Best of luck in your future!
This video really hit home for me a lot. I followed the bio premed track as well and by the time I finished my junior year of college I knew deep down medicine in that capacity just was not for me. Thankfully I had parents that didn’t pressure me and allowed me to take a year off after I graduated to find something I was really passionate about and that’s how I started my career as a Medical Laboratory Scientist! I absolutely love my job. I was always more fascinated with the how’s and the different lab testing that led to diagnosing the patient and I’m thankful to have found the career. Big ups to you for sharing and being transparent and hopefully inspiring others to follow their heart. Wishing you nothing but the best in all your future endeavors 💗
How you know that a career is for you is that you will have a passion for it and a peace in your spirit about it. Anytime there’s confusion or indecisiveness that continues that’s not what you are supposed to do and God is not in that. That passion may be for something that is less money than a doctor but you will be happy doing it and will excel!
Definitely right about praying about it! Glad you have peace over your decision
I graduated last year and I have decided that I will not be doing a medical specialty. I'm done. God has a different plan for my life and I am following his will. you are right , med school isn't something you can just push through
So what are you going to do? A medical sales rep? Just curious because I see your title is doctor
@@brincessa2101 No girl, I love skincare and business so that is what I am going after. kind like you with your hair care business. You are killing it by the way !
So what are you going to do?
I relate heavily. I've been through that. 😭😭😭
Girl, the part about being uncertain about your future! That's me. I'm just taking it one day at a time and trusting God.
I don’t typically comment on videos let alone sit through a whole video of this nature, but thank you for opening the eyes of people who are set on just going to med school because they got in not because they’re passionate about medicine. God is always by your side and leads you in the right direction. Good video!
I’m glad you figured this out now and not in the long run, and you do always have a BS to fall back on. I wish you the best in your journey.
Im in my second year of medical school. I truly feel like only medical students will understand what medical students go through. I think it's so hard for me because I know I want to go corporate and work on clinical products. I think I lack much of the passion for the practice. I think about quitting often so I admire your story and your courage. Continue to share.
Thank you for sharing your story! I'll echo what the other physicians in the chat have stated in people needing to know what it is that they want. Walking into medicine thinking just money is the wrong mindset. It takes a lot of time, sacrifice and pain. I've been very honest with my mentees and others interested in the field to help them understand, but sometimes you don't know until you're in the thick of it.
I looked into PA programs my third year of college and found it was much better for me personally than med school. It was really appealing to me that PAs can go from different types of fields like ER to pediatrics
I really see a different and genuine, softer, and humble side of you with this one. God's got your back!
I'm old. I've learned that with some things in life, you can learn to become them. A Plumber, a Machinist, a general business person in a company, those are all things you can learn and become. But being a Medical Doctor, a Counselor, etc. requires passion for the field. You're either already a Medical Doctor or a Counselor or you're not. No amount of studying can make you those things at the core. When I counseled full-time I was meant to do it. I was PHENOMENAL at it. I had Patients doubling up appointments and trying to switch from other counselors to me. I loved my Patients and they loved me, sometimes too much, lol. I changed so many lives for the better. It was meant to be.
I don't know what you're doing now, but listening to you it sounds like counseling would've been a better choice. I actually relate to you because I got a Master's in Medicine, 4.0 GPA. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. I realized that I didn't want to go on and be a Medical Doctor, I just wanted the knowledge so I could help people better. In short, I would've been miserable in medicine because I was meant to be a Counselor✌
Maybe you should be a physician assistant. You could choose any specialty you want and change it when you want. Just some advice if you feel like getting back into the medical field. I pray your business continues to grow 💕 the website look great!
Please forgive me for getting off topic, but I NEED your skincare routine. That glow is 😍
(This is very lengthy, no need to read!) Some of the feelings you went through/are going through are really resonating with me right now. I have not been happy at my current uni, but then I would remember that the school I go to is some people’s dream school. I am also very conflicted about my future. Science has always been my feat. but when I started uni, I was never excited for for my major. Maybe a bit interested, but I didn’t have the drive like I did in hs to be at my best. When I did summer school at my local cc, something just felt like it was in place. It felt sorta right?? I was, and still am, very confused. Now, I’m currently deciding if I want to drop out of uni and take cc classes for my sophomore year, or just deal with staying at uni, which is okay, it just gives me a weird feeling to go back there. I really want to take a leap of faith and do cc, but it’s really scary. But I keep getting signs that is making me feel like this is the right decision for me, and to take this year to figure myself out.
Overall, I admire your strength to take on something that seems scary and I’m really glad you are doing what u feel is best for u.
I absolutely read the entire thing since you took the time to comment. Thank you so much for your encouraging words!!!
Yess, please drop a video detailing all the things you needed to do to get in to med school ❤️
Absolutely!!!
This was a beautiful testimony. I love what you said about walking in Faith.
Don’t do medical school because your dad wants you to have doctor in front of your name; im glad you’re making way for what you want
Not in the same situation but God needed me to see this. You are so blessed to have that discipline of fasting and no music and staying in His word every day!! Your testimony is a lesson for all Christians ❤️
Please reply please i got only 70 percentage in 12th class ...do this cause any problems while doing pg like usmle,plab.....
proud of you!
honesty will get you so far in life. your integrity means more.
Great video! Honestly I could never do med school because the thought of the weight of responsibility on my shoulder to care for sick people is a no from me. You say you must always be moving or doing something different. For me, I like to be chill and flexible with my schedule so I went with a career in animation, did four years of college and graduated this year. In fact I hate studying and burnt out easily but pushed through anyway with high grades. I personally thought having a degree is better than no degree at all especially since I got a full ride scholarship, meaning I graduated debt free so I didn't want to miss out on this opportunity (especially since I know being an art major, art colleges tends to be very expensive so having all four years paid off and getting the degree is a blessing for me, thank the lord).
I enjoy animation, already in an internship and getting paid to work from home which is amazing for me. However, one thing I didn't like about college is how much push with picking a career while being unsure in high school. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get into tech like coding, but I was already making a solid portfolio with art teachers, since I was always more into being creative and also got high grades in high school. There was a coding class being offered but they rejected me because they knew I'm an art student and assumed I'm not a good fit (told me there's lots of math involved and my math was lower compared to reading in SAT scores), it always left a bad taste in my mouth. In fact my final Senior year animation before graduating college is about being rejected from coding class that day.
There was a silver lining, one summer internship I got to work with coding students which I helped transfer 3D models the 3D modeling/animation students made into a website/app (I mentored them) and it brought me some inspiration. So nowadays with some free time when I'm done with animation, I am already looking into free coding resources and diving into coding. So I guess in a good way I got to get in my creative side and then hop over to my tech/problem solving side with coding. I hope to get good at coding skills and that will help me with my 3D art skills. I am glad there are so many resources online that's accessible.
I know I'm not a med student and the workload must be insane for doctors/nurses in medical school, etc. But I know the feeling of burnout, late nights to get the project/essay/presentations done before deadlines, etc. College was so draining mentally and physically. But I guess what pushed me though it is that I feel like this degree will give me opportunities and opens up the pathway to success. For me what I valued is flexible schedule and time for my career, so I can still communicate with my team but then it's nice to just be able to work by myself, take a break, cook in the kitchen, go out for a walk, come back in to work, take a nap, etc.
Brittany, you're doing amazing with the entrepreneur side! Your business and social media platforms are great! You know what you want, you got this!
Thank you Brit for this video. You spoke on something so many ppl feel. I currently work In the medical field and I know in my heart this isn’t where I’m supposed to be but afraid to leave . You inspire me to be happy in life. Money ain’t everything .
Sometimes you have to go with your gut versus listening to the parents. Parents love for their child to become a doctor but the hard work and becoming a fit for you, only you can make that decision. Altogether you've done great. A 4.3 GPA is NICE!!!
Im glad you made the decision. A lot of people have degrees in something they are not passionate about. Glad you found what you like for right now. Trust the process. You are right where you need to be
I don't know you personally, but you have a light. I don't know what it is called and I have only ever saw it in a few other people in my life. My sister and my niece and an older woman who I met years ago. It shines brightly from inside and can be seen on the face. Keep holding to God and he will reveal the best life for you. Not the life that others feel you should have but the life meant for You.
So proud of u listening listening to the Holy Spirit at such a young age. He really will direct our footsteps if we listen 👂 . 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🙌❤️❤️
To be honest your decision is really brave, I really feel like not being in med school sometimes, but unlike you I've struggled with my grades so making such a decision for me is scary coz I don't know if I'd be making it because of struggling through it or because I genuinely just don't want to do it anymore. I've decided to just finish and get my degree then I'll decide what to do next if I still feel the same way. So I'm just going to live through it, and I understand anyone that wouldn't do what I'm doing because living through it can be really hard and mentally it's the worst decision but..... we'll see.
Ik an alum from my school who went thru med school and decided not to go to residency. She still has her degree and can practice whenever she chooses to
Precious let God continue to guide you. I wanted to be a RN Nurse then a Judge, in my younger years. My passion is helping others, and I am still in the medical field for almost 30 years Counseling others and love it. I rather work alone and I do at my own pace.😇😘I wish you much success.
I live in an African country where there are limited opportunities and careers, so most people here pursue medicine(and other prestigious careers) for the money and job security otherwise abject poverty will set upon you. If you graduate in some other fields, you will be unemployed😭😭😭😭so here you can't just quit or do what you are passionate about.
Luckily we're American. She can really make a lot as an entrepreneur here.
Thank you for sharing your testimony regarding seeking GOD before making such a decision. This encouraged me to pray and wait on GOD.
Thanks for sharing your story!!! You remind me of Kyla Pratt 🤩
I had dropped out for now (AS in Biology), after 2 semesters, I just felt like it wasn’t for me rn in life, I’m ngl I’m a job hopper which transitioned into my college life because Ive always wanted to do everything since I get so bored easily😗I see a lot of us are experiencing similar problems…overall I think college is not the move rn even if we’ve always excelled in school, we still have the rest of our lives to consider going back. And btw the things you’re saying are really resonating
Good for you for making the best decision for you. I think there are probably way more people than we think that feel the same way you do but are too afraid to walk away. … which only leads to poor patient care in one way or another. As a black woman who excels in academics ( although you have me beat) I completely understand the feeling that you have to prove that you can do it
All I can say is Amen! Hearing and obedience to God is first. Proud of you for wanting Him more than what others want for you. He will honor your obedience and faithfulness to Him.
Your skin though 😍
Skin routine coming soon!!!
