Hey, so I am a sophomore (well just finished my freshman year) and have always had the dream of going to medical school and practicing one day. I have 3.5 cGPA and 3.7 sGPA so my grades are okay right now. I am already signed up to volunteer at my local hospital but I want to get a full time paying job that will help me with medical school. I am here just looking for advice on how to get a job that I can get that will help me get into medical school later on and I can stop delivering pizzas because working until midnight on Friday and Saturday nights suck. Any advice will help. Oh, and if someone more specifically knows of a clinical job or someone who can help me get a clinical job near Indianapolis, you will be my hero.

No job will "help you get into med school" in itself. If you are looking for getting clinical experience while earning money, look into becoming a CNA or EMT. These involve training, but you definitely get a lot of patient exposure. Just keep in mind that working full time while taking pre-reqs and a regular college course load can be a lot to handle, and you want your GPA and MCAT to be as good as possible to better your chances.
