I was fortunate to be accepted into medical school in October. I immediately began looking at options to pay for the cost of going to school. I decided the best option for me would be to pursue the Air Force HPSP. So I applied for it.
Meanwhile, I was working two jobs which were at a gym and warehouse to pay for the application process. The warehouse involved moving 300 pound furniture by hand. So it was not a fun job, but I stuck with it and was awarded employee of the month.
I ended up receiving the Air Force HPSP. However, the FBI needed to run an extensive background check on me. This included asking both my jobs if I was a good worker or not. I know most of you Pre-meds are working at jobs that you either think are beneath you or just plain boring. It's important to put your best effort into these jobs, because it's a small world. Your manager at Jimmy Johns could have an older brother who ends up being the PD of the residency you want. You just never know.
