i don't think it's a bad idea per se. depends on how your schedule will be. if you have all the classes nonstop then i think it's a bit nuts. but if you have like 2 classes/2 hours in the morning and 2 hours later like at night or whatever. and the one credit course, obviously once a week then it's not that bad. |

whoa that looks rough!
med school is not all that it used to be. not sure why you want to be a doctor but there are other career alternatives vlad! i think a starting doctor doing residency makes $50k USD/year?
whereas, i have a friend in IT, finished his CCIE when he was 19, and makes 6 figures |

I want to be a doctor because its something Im interested in and passonate about. But Im not going to be a typical physician, Im interested in the specific field of nuclear medicine. |

I took 3 sciences each semester..like my fall semester junior year was Molecular Bio, Physiology, Anatomy and throw in a YEAR of Physics.

I have no problem taking all the classes, I actually want to, I think it would help me keep my head on straight. I just hope I have enough money left over from my school loans to cover all those credits. |

out of college for 2yrs now, trust me, you'll be paying for college for a while that is if you are working it off, some are just paid like that where they can dump there money off and pay it all out |

The last thing on my mind right now is paying off the loans, because what Ill owe for LIU will be pocket change compared to what Im gonna owe to the medical school that I go to. Hopefully though, with the career path that Im choosing, those loans will get repaid quickly. |

Dude, i have been out of school for 4 yrs and still owe about 63K all said and done, and now w/ interest rates the way they are...forget it. Im gonna have a mortgage AND loans...its gonna blow goats. And Vlad, I dont mean to bring you down, but doing what you truly love is the most important thing...but doctors nowadays really dont see the money like the good ole days before HMOs...they take their sweet ass time paying doctors...thats why you dont see anyone paying 55 per office visit like when I was a kid...and thats just walking in the door.
Thats one of the reasons I didnt want to bust my ass in med-school for for 4 more yrs + residency...i dont want to be 65 when Im enjoying my money.... |
