I just wanted to see what my response to "Because I like money" would be haha 😛.
In all seriousness, I understand what you are all trying to say.
Business is not for me though, forget it. I must have said this a thousand times in previous threads.
I think its also unfair to say "If you can get into medical school, you can probably get into top business schools and make millions a lot quicker."
While it "may" be true, I still think it is an unfair statement. Even in medicine. Sure, you can open you own practice. But you have to do SOMETHING on top of your career AND it has to be profitable.
And the chances of getting into a top business school are very slim. Its a pain trying to get into medical school too but compared to Wharton (one of the best) medical school would be easier to get into. If that makes sense. Either way you need great grades and stellar LOR's. I am merely saying that it would be easier to a certain extent to get into a good medical school (not a "top" one) vs. a TOP business school like Wharton. No kidding I would be making more coming out of Wharton but I'm not guaranteed to be successful just because I went to an Ivy League Business School. Same with med school.
I just think being a physician is a stable job and one that I think I have the most interest in. Not much more I can say right now.
