Hi!
I'm from Egypt, and I'm a United States citizen. In Egypt, an individual may enter the Faculty of Medicine after completing high school. After the 6 or 7 years in the Faculty, you have a Bachelors of Medicine. But, in Egypt, it's almost a requirement to earn a Master's and a Ph.D. in Medicine after residency. In the United States, however, once you are out of high school, you have to enroll into a 4-year college, where you earn a degree in any area you wish. After that, you enroll into a medical school. For example, I will be earning my Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2014. After I have that degree, I have to enroll in a 4-year medical school, where I will earn an M.D. in 2018.
My question is: Why would you want to come here? College costs so much money here. It is costing me $80,000 to get my B.Sc. in Biology and it will cost $200,000 to get my M.D. In Egypt, college is virtually free. By the time you actually start working, you be more than $250,000 in debt.
It kills me everyday that I'm not in Egypt with my family, and sometimes I regret coming here in the first place. I know Egypt is going through a rough time politically, socially and economically, but things will get better. You should excel through the next two or three years and get an Assistant Lecturer position in the Faculty.
