I have been reading the horror stories of med school. Now I am getting second thoughts. Here's the deal:
- I am a non-trad, now making 80K a year in a job I don't like. It has always been my dream to be a doc. I can live with my current job, but I always fantasize about medicine. Maybe I have a "glorified" vision of medicine.
- I have been accepted to med school already last year but defered. It was a private school that will cost me 200K when I get out. I am slated to start in 2003.
- The cost of med school scares me. Will I be able to pay it back? I like my lifestyle now, making 80K a year.
- Although I hate my current job, will it be any different from a stressed-out, lawyer-hassled, debt-burned, family-deprived, no-life doc?
Please help. This choice is agonizing me. Thanks a lot in advance.
