What are you doing the summer before med school starts?

Where's working? You know, adults have this thing called money?

 

What is it used for?

(it must be ended in a preposition to give the desired effect, sorry )

 

I was just giving you a hard time.
The summer before I get in - not weekend - I'll be working. I'm a co-owner of a company. It's not like I'm just going to up and walk away.... This company will be paying my bills for a long time, I sure as hell better work there. So, none of the other options really apply. Most people I know work the summer before they start graduate school. My brother's going to start law school next fall and he'll be working, too. Before he got his PhD he did the same thing. Sorry, I thought it was a pretty big omission, that's all.

I thank you for that. Ah, those kids. We are all richer for their presence.

 

i would consider working, but in the grand scheme of things the amount of debt i'll be in will be vastly greater than anything i could make in the summer after i graduate college. i'm aiming for sleeping a lot.

 

haha...im the sole vote for graduating late. the result of switching majors halfway through my senior year. hoping to work too but certainly no travelling (1 L or 2?)

 

I had originally planned to do research, but I'm thinking now that I would rather spend a month or two getting some clinical experience. I would also be working.

 

I wish I knew what I'm going to be doing this summer. Much will depend on if I get accepted somewhere that I'd rather go. If not... I see Ireland in my future.

 

Eat, man! Besides, I figured your pissiness was because of the smart-ass way I originally responded to your question. Maybe we're both hungry... (wait a minute, that's not about taking the beef train to tuna town, so just stop thinking about that right now!)

 

Ok, but I got it from a thread here: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/forumdisplay.php?f=25

 

this poll is for those who have already been accepted somewhere...For the rest, there is also a possibility of spending the next summer reapplying

 

Working and working and saving every penny I can.

 

I would really like to keep working, but I just feel so burnt out with my job during the day, classes at night, interviewing, part-time jobs during the weekend, and significant other (dang, it's so hard).

But I DEFINITELY wanna take at LEAST 2 months to do NOTHING but chill-ax, sleep, travel a little, sleep, and read.

Can't wait.

 

working... to afford the move

 

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. Either that or taking a cruise. Not sure which yet- I have a couple of years to decide.

 

Make an effort to find my future wife.

 

Working, and more than likely, waiting to get called off a waitlist or two.

 

Good luck with that. Any particular reason for the focus on that for the summer in question? Why rush it?

 

Because I'll be an MD/PhD slave for the next 7-8 years and won't have much time for meeting people. It would be great to have someone to come home to.

And I want to start early on a family - goal is 10+ children.

 

going for the evolutionary approach huh, ghenghis khan like

 

Breeding the next generation of Christian fundamentalists eh?

Seriously, as a father and soon-to-be husband, it's a great thing to have a family to come home to. Good luck with everything you want to achieve in life. You'll need all the luck you can get with 10+ children....Just one is tremendous amount of work.
