Well, after a great deal of soul searching, I have decided that medicine is not for me. I am an older, non-traditional student, and after completing nearly all my pre-reqs I have decided that I want to spend my 20's and 30's enjoying time with friends and family a little more, and with my head buried in a book a little less. I realized that at the end of the day, its still just a job, but one that requires more commitment than im prepared to give any more. I also took into account that through all my years of health care experience, Ive met twice as many docs that hate their job as I have that liked it. Its not because I failed, I gave it my best effort and just decided I dont have the dedication in me to keep pushing through any more. Im chosing life over career.
To everyone that continues on their path to med school, good luck. Youre dedication is inspiring and I am in awe of you. Ive talked to some people on here that have a genuine passion for what they are trying to accomplish and I pray that you will succeed and somehow balance family,work/school, and lifestyle better than I seem to be able to.
Best of luck
