Forgive the run on sentences, I started this post, I'm on a psych forum, I feel safe on this thread, I matter as well share with everyone why a pre-med is asking about telepsych...
I'm turning 28 before I take the MCAT this spring. Graduated with Psych and Phil 2014 and for me personally, after I decided neuroscience wasn't right, behavioral medicine wasn't right, and naturopathy DEFINITELY wasn't right I settled on medicine because I could take it anywhere in the world and really my goal IS to see as much as the world as I can before I die and frankly I LOVE the idea of making 150-250/ hr by internet while traveling the world. And I don't mean for the rest of my life but definitely when I get out of being most likely STUCK in VA for four years ie VCOM because I'm from Maryland and have a 3.3 I'm definitely going to NEED to travel. Tell me what's wrong with this, is my hobby being romanticized and my career in medicine being underutilized. Because for me 150-250 is more than I'd get anywhere in any of the countries I speak another language in plus australia and the UK. AND doing telemedicine as a PA or a NP doesn't come close to 150-250/ hr. So to me this still makes the most sense to me.
