#premed #medschool#doctor
My husband did the same. Started medical school at 27. Hematologist/oncolgist today. Live your dream.
This is inspiring I'm also starting medical school at 27
@@bundubashing same here!!
xray tech here, im 31 going on 32. Am I too late?
@@bm373 it's never too late. You gotta figure it out if it's worth it for yourself though.
I am 34, and currently a sonography student.
I respect doctors that switched from a non-med career to becoming a doctor a little extra because y’all really wanted it (and usually did it for more meaningful reasons) 💪
Adnan A well said buddy👍
Adnan A You mean the pay grade lol.
Yep I think it says alot about a person that makes this switch.
I’m in IT, already have a great salary in my career but I’m going to start getting my pre requisasteis for med school now at 29. It’s what I always wanted
@@AJ-ox7xv how bhai
Since you have maths background.what is the step to go into that
Never in mi life wanted to be a doctor. Start studying physical therapy, rotate in huge cardiology hospital. Now Im a fourth year medical student!
hello how if you don't mind me asking how did you go from physical therapy to med school?
I am in occupational therapy and contemplating the same. :/
So glad I found you! I’m a non-traditional pre-med student. I’m soooo happy to hear that I’m not the only one who worked in the corporate world and decided it just wasn’t for me. I’m 30 and quit my job to return to school full time. Everyone thinks I’m crazy, but it’s what’s best for me to pursue my passion in medicine! You’re never too old to make a change! Yes, the unknown is scary, but if you make a plan and use the resources available, you will achieve your goals! 🙌🏼
In what year he became doctor?
Yeshua is Lord. Did he not have to do maths or biology? Or access courses?
Do you able to enter med school?? Pls share your experiences!!
Mary Montoya That’s so awesome! keep going!
Julian Torres Thank you! 😊
I'm a non-traditional pre-med student. I have an accounting degree and MBA. Worked in my field for 9+ years making good corporate money. The pandemic motivated me to strive for medical school. I'm 35 and hoping to be finished with my prerequisites next year. 😊
Hello! I am in a similar situation as well. Do you think I could dm you for advice? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey where are u doing your prerequisites? I need some advice …
Hey Me too, i have an accounting degree and now im working as a finance in Indonesia, but here lots of people said " it's hard for you to be med student" do you have any advice for me 😄. Thank you.
@@aprillialorenzasantoso4068 I have an accounting and finance degree and want to switch as well
Your awesome! Your honestly probably going to succeed in doing it too!
“I can’t just do mundane tasks for a corporation”, exactly how I feel as a machinist turning into a (hopeful) neurologist.
This is the exact situation I'm in right now. I recently graduated with a marketing major and work a corporate job. I dread going to work every single day and look for a way out constantly. I was originally a pre-med major and struggled with chemistry, so I thought I wasn't smart enough and decided to switch paths. Recently, I've come to the realization that I am smart enough and shouldn't be afraid to follow this path. I decided to go back to school 2 days ago and I'm super excited that I came across this video. I know that I made the right choice after seeing this.
Same here! But just financially struggling for medschool! Good luck with your studies!
Eniada can I ask how old you are, I’m 23 and worried it’s too late for med?
That’s awesome!!!
@@Daisy-ml3og you are still very young. I am 27 and I start medical school this Fall. My dad is 44 and he is still taking his undergraduate classes. So it's never too late specially for you. Go for it.
@@Daisy-ml3og Hey! I'm also 23. I thought that way too at first, but it really never is too late. Everyone does things at their own pace, go for it!!!
Loved what you said what you said about "not being smart enough". I was a tennis player in college, did okay in classes... was more focused on sport/ girls/ frat life. Never thought I'd be "smart enough" to go into the medical field. After college I worked a real job, then realized this could be the rest of my life. Having that experience of a real job was the most humbling thing that could have ever happened to me. I decided to go back to school, with a crazy goal to become doctor. Did an hour commute to a bankrupt city to take my biology prerequisites for dental school. The school was in a ghetto location (you could see needles on the ground of the school parking lot). People laughed at me for being the "old guy" in the class, but the struggle made the journey so much better. I'm 1 year out from graduating dental school (my dream school), and hope to go to residency afterwards!
Great story.
I'm in a similar situation. Worked construction from age of 17-24. Now in working on a bachelor's in biology and plan to either go to med school or PA program. people laughed at first, then realized I was 10-20x smarter than them. I was average when I was in high school, but compared to this latest generation of college students I feel like a genius. Let's just say I destroyed this girl who got into Princeton when it came to math and science and she is a chemistry major who was ranked #1 in her school...
Omg it's so motivational!!! Thanks for sharing, it definitely helped me feel better about the whole situation. I too was pretty focused on other fields like music and languages however did well in class. I realized if my whole life is gonna be devoted to this, I simply won't be able to make it. So here I am studying harder to get into the med field!
Thanks
That’s sad people laughed at you.. I’m happy you’ve got this far! Kudos to you!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I’m in the same boat now. 24, dropped out of state university 3 years ago, and worked a real job since and I’m horrified believing this could be my entire life. I just reenrolled back into school and I’m genuinely excited to be back with a goal to make it into med school and become a radiologist. I wish you luck on your journey!
I am actually planning to get into med school at 27yrs old because I want to enjoy my early 20s first exploring and traveling (after covid of course), before committing to medicine and fulfilling my dream to become a doctor. Education has no age limit anyway 😌✨
Nothing easy is worth a damn. Well said!
Highly relatable, as I've come from a engineering backround to study medcine at 25.
Adam i have my bachelors in Civil engineering and thinking to join medical school. How's it going for you? How are you keeping yourself motivated?
erinannelies omg! Thank you so much! You're absolutely right.
25 isn’t that old tbh
Jess Daw no. Many get in even later.
@@therevenger3191 Like this guy who started at 37 :-) ua-cam.com/video/ngX78e3TfeE/v-deo.html
I’ll be getting done with my pre-med in my early 30s, so wouldn’t even be a board certified doc until my 40s. Still going for it, I’m going to be that age either way so why not do it doing a job that can help change lives?
EXACTLY! Time will pass regardless. I'm in the same boat. Good luck!
Keep doing it!
I will be 34 when graduating with my undergrad then off to med school.
Same! I’m 27 now about to go to school to be a rad tech and then following the path to become a radiologist
Is just me or he is Nicolas cage
Lolll. I’ve gotten that my entire life
That’s so true !! Very young cage
Yes lol
Close, quite close!
If Cillian Murphy and Nicholas Cage had a love child.
The fact that more non-traditional routes are being highlighted gives me hope. I'm on the non-trad path as well and this fuels my drive even more. Thanks for sharing!!!
Man, so relatable. I felt the same way having my first job as an engineer. 5 years have past and now I'm months away to graduate med school. Thank you for your story.
Really makes me feel that there are a lot of future-doctors in other majors, they just need to see videos like this to take the chance.
Congrats to you! Best of luck on your journey! I am looking of going back myself, love these inspiring stories. 😊
Hi, im in a similar situation, can i contact you?
@alejandro montoya
Same have been an engineer for her past 5 years. I hate it. Looking for a change.
hi, do you think i could message you? i’m in a similar situation
"nothing easy is worth a damn" you are right!! i needed to hear that..
I love this! I originally went to school to be an MA where I unfortunately didn’t even try in school. I didn’t know what I wanted to do and I figured going to school to be an MA to get a job once finishing would be good. Once I graduated i took a job in billing at a private Ophthalmologist office where I had interned during school. It was a job and everyone was awesome but I disliked what I was doing and I knew I didn’t want to do this forever. Fast forward 4 years and I’m currently a Scribe in Pulmonary, learning a lot from the 3 Physicians I work with and getting ready to go back to school this fall for Premed. I couldn’t be more excited and I’m counting down for school this fall. I know it’s going to be a lot of work but I’m genuinely excited I finally know what I want to do.
I want to be an Interventional Radiologist because of you. I never thought I would say this butt... You're my Hero you give me the motivation needed to pursue med school
Well thank you!
This man doesn't know what to say to that
I am a special education teacher who is thinking of going back to school to be a med student. I'm 38 and wow, I'm nervous I won't pass the pre-med chemistry or physics part because it has been such a long time since I have taken those subjects. However, I am determined for a better life and think I would make a good Doctor. If you have the drive and grit, you can do anything you put your mind to. :) Thanks for the inspiration, Dr. Cellini!
I will be 34 when I get out of basic college then med school.
How’s your journeys going
Inspiring story my man glad to see you figured it out now 💪🏼
Indeed an unusual path! But well worth it I would say.
you have so much depth to you man! i love it.
I’m a nurse and wanting to cross over to the dark side lol thankfully, nursing is so flexible that I’m able to take my med school prerequisites and have decent income.
Valeria Barrera Manzo Hi! I’m trying to do the same thing and I was wondering if you are currently in a post Bacc pre med program or are you taking pre med classes at a community college? Can you explain more about your route? How have you also balance working as a nurse and taking prerequisites?
Sjramirez Hi! I’m not in an official post bacc program. They are too expensive and not accredited. I’m just going back to the university I got my BSN from and enrolled as a biochem major. I work nights (mostly weekends) and that way I can go to school in the day. Sleep is a luxury. But I’m willing to make that sacrifice. Plus, as a nurse I know a lot of doctors and people I can network with to volunteer and make a great med school application.
Im planning to do this as well. Im doing nursing at the moment and I want to be MD after being an RN
Good luck in your journey, I had multiple classmates in my medical school class with a nursing background!
Valeria Barrera Manzo Hi!! I was an RN for 5 years before starting med school and I’m always happy to help fellow RN to MDs if you have any questions. 🙂 Good luck to you on your journey!
I did my undergrad in philosophy at oxford then worked in corporate marketing for P&G and Heineken before changing to medicine age 26! You've got to live honestly and do what gives you a sense of purpose and service. Thanks for the upload, man. I love hearing other people's stories!
This was awesome - I’m glad I came across this. I decided I wanted to pursue a career in Medicine this year, and I’m 29. I’m working on my undergrad right now and feel like I’m getting to the game late but I’m SO excited and know it will be worth it. I love hearing other peoples non traditional routes to medicine.
Love this video! This provides a great insight into medical admissions, thanks Dr Cellini
Wow your story is inspiring and sounds so much like mine (except I'm not a doctor yet!). I'm 23, I graduated uni in 2019, got a corporate job and could feel my will to live leave me a bit more every day. It wasn't rewarding on a human level, I felt I had no purpose and wasn't truly helping anyone. I quit after a couple years and am now back in uni studying trying to pass exams to get into med school by the end of the year. What I learned throughout my internships and my full time job experience is that you can be in the most exciting cities in the world, have the best colleagues, and earn a lot of money, nothing is more important than feeling useful and bringing value to your community. I'm back in my mid-sized hometown in France after having worked in Paris, London, Hong Kong... and nothing beats actually enjoying what you're doing and going into a career where you're constantly learning and where every day is different.
Thank you for your videos, Dr!
As a vet student, would be interesting to see a video of your thoughts on vet vs. med or a video with your brother comparing the 2 fields and stereotypes/perceptions of vet vs med!
@@maxchevelle9334 Like I said, I'm already in vet school. But thanks for the encouraging sentiment ;) Definitely agree about the debt vs. salary aspect, but I think a lot of people limit themselves to thinking of vet as just your typical small animal practice, which I also shadowed in prior to school and found quite mundane as well. Just have to find the area of vet that you like (equine sports medicine woop woop), and there are options for residency/higher salary if you want to specialize.
Already spoke to my brother about this video! Will make it sometime in the future :)
I just got into veterinary school at UC Davis. So looking forward to it. And I completely agree with Annie. To not go to vet school because of statistics is not fair to your dream. Sure a lot of vet students have debt, but you aren’t those people and those people aren’t you. I’m looking at going into public health but there’s also the military, other govt jobs, specialty practice, teaching, research, or even jobs in the private sector and business. If you have a dream then pursue it.
@@maxchevelle9334 you can become a vet in Europe for almost free (Slovenia ftw!). Just pay books and high taxes lol
I am doing my undergrade degree on biotechnology and genetic engineering in Bangladesh
Can I take Mcat exam?
I'm a nontraditional student also, working my way up the ranks to PA school. Thank you for sharing your path. It's comforting to know that others out there didn't go into medicine right away & still made it.
Dude. This is me, I went into the working world after getting a foundation degree, worked for like 2 years, then moved back home at 23 to top up my degree in bioveterinary science, now I want to go for a lecturer role in immunology! Totally understand how much harder you worked, I never really studied before, now I'm constantly studying my arse off!
Thanks for this video
Thank you so much for sharing! Love hearing these type of stories! Helps me not have doubt in myself on pursing the medical field at an older age! 🙌💜
I’m an Econ major going to med school as well !!!
Ayyyy!
@@hajarchamseddine7554 Good.
Barbara Cassese same here! Good luck!!
Hajar CHAMSEDDINE doesn’t correlate
All this time i thought im an idiot 😂 its so comforting to know that there are other people as well. We're bunch of bold people. Love y'all good luck on this long ride. 😊
Wow! Listening to you is so inspirational. I've been considering going to medical school for a while. I've also followed an unusual path, and listening to you just motivates me further. I really appreciate your posts.
Hello from Houston! I Started watching your channel, Im not in medicine, I come from the Corporate world but LOVE your channel! I also love your wife too! The vlogs of y’all together are my fav 👌🏼 keep the videos coming 🙌🏻
Thanks to you, doc, and all other radiologists, techs, etc. who do all this stuff. I’ve had a brain tumor found since I was 15. I get regular MRIs to monitor that. Unfortunately, I have another recurrence found by you all in radiology. Thank you all for doing what you do. Thanks again, doc. Although I have a 4th recurrence now that will probably be my last, unfortunately, you all have always been there. Thank you all for that.
How are you doing now? Sending prayers and good thoughts your way.
As an entrepreneur and interested in medicine you’re 100% right. Running a business is NONSTOP! Some medical students don’t understand that as they literally went from science majors to medical school. Believe me those CEOs and business owners are working just as hard.
Just discovered your channel, I appreciate this video. I have been working in a corporate job since I was 16 and im currently in community college at the age of 20, and I swear ive switched my major many times. Ive always wanted to do something medical but I didnt think I could starting college a little bit late, but I am stuck in the same situation being so drained just sitting behind a desk. Thanks for the motivation.
Thanks for this amazing insight Dr. Cellini! It's true, it may look as if CEO have it easy, but they do a lot of work as well!
That's very impressive that you knocked out all of those pre-reqs in that short amount of time especially if it was in a post-bac or 4 year school!!
Thank you for sharing your path to medicine! It's so inspiring to hear your story!
I understand the not wanting to do mundane stuff completely. I got a PR degree in 2003, and worked in corporate America for 14 years before deciding to follow my passion for nursing in 2018 (at age 39 😱). I’m now an ER nurse, and working towards becoming an ACNP so I can work in trauma. Sometimes I wish I would have gone the new school route, but I felt like I was too old to do it. It’s really rewarding to actually be happy in what you’re doing and helping people be healthier at the same time. Looking forward to seeing your IR Fellowship journey!
You have NO idea how much of an inspiration and motivation you are. I am 28 and have been thinking about going into a medical career-- particularly PA. your videos with your beautiful wife have been a godsend and have motivated me to pursue it despite my age.
I'm almost 35 and considering applying to medical school. I'd be in my 40s when done but I can relate to the analogy that your brain was turning into a potato when working in the corporate world. I'm a clinical research coordinator and actually only discovered that medicine really interested me while working on oncology clinical trials. Love hearing about non-traditional paths. The only thing is while my grades were excellent in undergrad (2004-2008), I don't think they could compete with today's inflated GPAs.
Same here.
I too am in this process - which it is, and I am enjoying every goal reached. Thanks for the reminder that change can happen, and doors to open. To new chapters!
Holy crap I am going through the same process right now!! I am 22 and will be finishing up my bachelor's in psychology next spring, I will need at least a year of post-BACC for all of the sciences will be very hard but I realized by doing extensive research reading dozens of posts on SDN etc.. that I want to go to medical school and hopefully match into a psychiatry residency, but hey radiology looks pretty awesome too!! Your videos as well as many others have inspired me to realize that I can do this if I just work hard enough! :)
I relate to you thinking you weren't good at school, undermining the fact you didn't put enough work. I failed my high school senior year's science classes and barely graduated, at the time I tought I was dumb (but oddly enough not accusing the fact I was doing nothing lol, crazy how you can be so closed minded without being aware). Started film school at community college, failed all my courses, didn't know what to do /w my life... Watched grey's anatomy, epiphany came, and this crazy idea about maybe putting effort into school grew in my mind. Dropped film school next semester to re-take my high school science courses. Got into college in biochem year after. Graduated. Got into med school. Now I am, a despaired, but purposeful, MS2!
Awesome video, I’m currently a junior majoring in business administration and now plan on going to med school. Glad to hear there are people who had the same experience!
this video resonates with me so much honestly. I recently graduated from college and I've always had an interest in medicine which is why I majored in heath sciences. From listening to your past and hearing your story I genuinely feel confident to fully pursue working in medicine. Thanks Dr. Cellini
I am going back to college with medicine as the eventual goal. Went through tech school for heating and cooling, currently in maintenance. Love hearing non-trad stories as inspiration.
I was in the same boat, Dr. Cellini. Like literally the same exact situation as you in almost every way, very eerie. Glad we made it out!
Loved it , I'm a chemical engineer now in my first year of medschool in Brazil, here medschool lasts 6 yrs , student life is not easy (no income / very low income because it's very hard to have a job being full time at school) but i couldn't imagine myself behind a desk for the rest of my life
I’m 23 about to be 24, and just worked as much as I can in many jobs the past few years because I didn’t know what I want to do. And I may still fully don’t, but I do feel more things falling into place in life, and finding careers that fit who I am. Doesn’t matter how long it takes
Thanks for sharing Dr. Cellini. This gives me the encouragement to pursue my current undergrad (currently have 1.5 years left) and potentially start applying for med schools
This was so encouraging!! Thank you,
Happy to hear your story! I want to become a doctor someday! It all worth it in the end!
I just graduated with my BS in Mech Engineering. In school I was never passionate with my major, more so just goin thru motions to satisfy others expectations of me. Now I’m critically reevaluating my mindset and desire a purposeful career. I’m strongly considering going back to school to become a psychiatrist. This career would satisfy my drive to understand the human mind and being able to lead people towards enacting agency in their lives despite their conditions. I will surely be doing more research, thank you for telling your story!
Thanks for this video. I started off with a biochem degree, went into a grad nursing degree, now I'm a new RN while studying pre-med... your videos inspire me to keep going to get that MD. :)
Congrats on all your success man...actually graduating from the same med school as you in about a month, you're a little bit of a legend around here.lol....im headed to Chicago for EM residency so excited to join the ranks....keep up the great content and best of luck!
Which Med school did you all attend?
Congrats on the residency! That’s amazing! Best of luck to you in your career!!! 😄
This gives me clarity thank you. I joined the military at 21. And having an amazing time. I’ll be out once im 27. I can’t wait to go towards the medical route
gees what an amazing upbringing and your parents must be soooo proud of all 3 of you .
I am in the exact same situation! I'm 21, just started my first post-grad corporate job after getting a business degree, and I'm absolutely miserable and have been doing all the same research. It's how I got to this video actually!
Nothing easy is worth a damn, that's facts! As a non-traditional student, this video was really helpful to me. Currently applied to med school waiting to hear back, I'm hoping I get in god willing this cycle. You rock Doctor C!
Oh my goodness!! I did Economics and Accounting for bachelors. I have been working into corporate and exhausted. Suddenly found myself interested into Medicine out of blue. I always avoided the thought of becoming Doctor, now i’m looking into postbac PreMed 😃
Just the video that I needed after a bunch of videos from people quitting. You and Dr Webb are both non traditional and started med school older. I’m older too. This is what I want to do.
Great example of do what u love.. without thinking of all the what ifs.. kudos to u bro
Please do a vid with your colleagues, i want to see what a radiologist's social environment looks like in the hospital
I am also a non-traditional student. Sitting at my corporate job right now but will start my prerequisites in the fall. It’s reassuring that I can make this switch from accounting to medicine and enjoy what I’m doing each day.
Thanks for sharing your journey! It's encouraging for pre-med students to hear 🙌🏼
Pre-Med Path hey can you make a video about which pre-med major is better/good for MCAT?
Haha [GG] Yes I can! There's no one correct answer, but I can discuss the factors one should consider before choosing a major 👍🏼
Inspiring ... I just moved to the US .. and I am preparing for my Step one exam sometimes I think I may be old( 28 years )and it is to late because we graduate from med school around 26 years old in.my home country and I never encountered someone who started medscool pass this age ..but really thank you for sharing.. I guess my husband is right when he told me you never old for something when in the USA ..
I'm an accounting Major but seen this gives me hope to follow my dream.
This is so encouraging ❤️ nothings easy if it’s worth a damn
Thank you for the support! I work in hospital management and am pursuing a DBA to improve hospital operations for doctors, and... I'm switching careers and applying to med school after I'm done with the DBA! I hope for the best...
Love this story. I also graduated with an Economics degree and worked in the private sector for 16 years then went and got a Masters in History and Social Studies Education and I’m teaching High School Social Studies in the Bronx, NY Like you becoming a Dr it was the best decision for me!
Thank you for sharing, Dr. Cellini!
Very similar experience I had a desk job in the navy very mundane same thing everyday and decided no way I want to live my life like this. What killed me the most was I wanted to enter school full time 2years after the navy but a contract still kept me in til 24 but took some classes when I could. Now I’m a third year pre-med hopefully I will excel with all my courses til the end. If not I’m definitely gonna consider being an officer though regardless I’m glad I got the motivation to go to school. If I didn’t take that chance I’d have missed out on great knowledge and just what i’m capable of. Though gotta say glad I saw this video even if it was a year later! Great motivation.
Imagine raising a veterinarian and two doctors- your parents must be so proud! Wow!!
I just want to become a doctor so my dad can be proud of me. He's been saying it was his dream for me. And I really took a liking to the profession when I entered middle school. Right now, I'm a High school senior
this is so so helpful!! i am thinking of the same thing in my first year post grad in a corporate job and this gives me a lot of encouragement❤
I’m not going to be a doctor but I start school next week for PSG which is in the medical field, even though this isn’t like what I’ll be doing but I gotta say I love your videos and you get me super motivated! So happy I found for your videos, btw your wife is beautiful and y’all are a great couple! Make beautiful babies and live life well, blessings to you both ❤️
*When doc Cellini goes "It was not that hard" and me here really trying to stay afloat after all these hours I put into school* like some ppl are just talented
Thank you so much for this video. People act like to succeed in medicine you need to know you want to do medicine years before college and need to be very confident. I’ve only realised I want to do medicine at the very end of high school and have struggled with confidence thinking I’m not smart enough to be a doctor.
Thank you for sharing your story, I really related to finding it difficult to do mundane corporate tasks.
Pretty cool video! I really love all of your's! :)
I'm a last-year med student from Italy and I'm still not sure what specialty fits rght for me, but you're really showin' me the passion of this work thus!
Have you ever had any doubts about what specialty to choose after med school? Or you were always sure about radiology? Cause everytime I see a video of urs or a post on ur IG page, I feel a lot curiosity about it!
Thanks for the answer and again, NICE WORK MAN!
UA-cam recommended this video at the right moment. I'm in a similar situation and this really motivates me. Going into medicine has always been my dream. I hope my dream becomes a reality one day.
I went through a similar thing. I always just assumed I wasn't good at school or good enough to go into any kind of medical field. I really just lacked a lot of confidence and didn't try enough. I worked way too many years of retail and useless office work that I didn't feel good about at all before I finally decided to go into nursing. I remember telling my BFF, and I was so afraid to tell people because I had never done anything science related or been "good" at math and science back in high school. She was just like ok...you could totally become a nurse. You should do that. She was just so casual and confident about it, like why wouldn't you? So that's what I had to start telling myself- why shouldn't I? I thought the same as your brother, like I have the opportunity to go back to school, there are tons of nursing schools here, I work full time and can even save the money, I can afford to take the pre-reqs...why not give it a go? I loved hearing your story, you don't see many on youtube that didn't just go straight into medicine.
good to hear that... i m in my last year of nursing school and about to start internship and i am planning to start my MD program. its never to late to become the person u want to. this is yr life and u control it. good luck
Yooooo Your older brother is a veterinarian 😍😍😍 Yay
Haha I did something similar in my old job! I was 3 months in and got a late acceptance letter to medical school. I quit that day, moved from San Diego to San Francisco in 2 days and started my first year of medical school 4 days late haha. I have a feeling that corporation was just fine with me dipping so fast..
Thank you so much for this!!!!!!
Would you consider talking more about how you balanced doing all the preq in 3 semesters? Including studying for Mcat?
Going same way as you :). Was a corporate student and graduated and now going to medical school! :)
When you went back to school to take your med school prereqs, were you taking those classes at a University or at a community college?
You know what i feel the same way. I just feel medicine is my route. My dad has been working as a engineer for 30+ years now. He even says himself he wishes he could have done something else. I have also witnessed many stressful things that he has to go through day in and day out just to take care of my family. And that idea of just working like that so hard for a corporation is just not for me. I feel like it would be so much rewarding and not as boring so I am leaning towards medicine now as a premed in college.
Where did you do your post-bacc? Was it a formal one or did you take it at a local school?
Great video! I’m doing a second career in medicine. I always thought I wasn’t smart enough for science... it turns out studying helps 😆 I’m just starting my pre-med journey, so this was a great video!
Thanks for sharing your story. I did not have proper guidance so my adult years were rocky. Now here I am at 27 years old in first year uni. I want to be an md but I don’t know how much time (or money) my parents have left so I am trying to do nursing so at least I can support myself while I apply for med school.
Im almost graduated from a political science major, due to depression and working at the uni’s orchestra I just did what I like. Now, I decided that law school or public administration is not what I want to do and I am going to take next fall term some of the courses I need to enter to the physical therapist doctorate. It is going to be expensive because of how long it took me to decide but all I want to do is what makes me Happy.
This is very motivational. Thank you🙏🏿
QUITE INSPIRATIONAL, I AM SURE THIS WILL ENCOURAGE MANY IN SAME SHOES. THANKS FOR SHARING
I got so motivated by this video.. Thanks tons😊
I was an interior design major when I first started college. I then switched to art with a focus in photography. It wasn't until I was 21 that I realized that my purpose in life is to be a doctor. I had to do some soul searching as well. I was miserable doing art (I can't draw)
How has it been going now?
@@KhaosVFX I'm studying for the mcat which I'm taking in September and applying for fall 2021
@@themiamilife that's awesome! Wish you the best! I'm currently a 3D visualization artist and I'm seriously considering switching at age 21 aswell :)
Omg Catherine!! I’m also an interior designer working in the corporate world that’s reevaluating her career choices!! Before I started uni I wanted to hbe a doctor but I had very limited options in my city and so I settled for IDE. I would like to know more about your journey, how is your process going for you?
