I just withdrew from med school & now have to re-acclimate myself back into society

[Kawhitstorm]

OP couldn't make it in med school, quits/fails out, then blames the system. Great work ethic

I never asked for an overhaul of the curriculum, I simply stated that "med school isn't for ME" & elaborated on why it wasn't a good fit for ME (however you want to interpret that is up to you). BTW..I did pass my 1st year classes & actually excelled in some the conceptual of the courses but my goal was to get into an Orto residency/sports medicine fellowship but that would be far fetched unless I was near the top 10% of my class. With an average GPA & not being the greatest standardize test-taker I was most likely going to end up in a family medicine residency but I withdrew instead of having to be a miserably family medicine physician.

I'm not one of those delusional people who firmly believes they deserve could get into a residency when they don't have stats. I knew what I wanted & graciously bowed out when I knew it wasn't going to be feasible as opposed to sticking it out then blaming my school for failing me when I don't get into a specific residency (i.e. a handful of med school graduates).

Hows welfare working out?

Hows welfare working out?

I've plenty in my savings & I've also inherited a mansion/company in Africa so no need for welfare unless you need some financial assistance.

I have to say they are a lot of fake millionaires on ST.

Doctors don't become wealthy until they hit their late 30's? Basically have to catch up with their debt with income to break even and then start making true money afterwards.

I wasn't in it for the wealthy (I have already inherited more than enough), I don't have kids so I can live comfortably off 75Ks.

What a degenerate tool. If you can't phantom enjoying life without a 100k salary, a suburban house, 2 cars, 2.5 kids, a dog, and of course, your little white picket fence then you sorely lack creativity. But then what would I expect any different from a hick who has never stepped a foot out of a trailer park.

I know why you failed out of med school....

Yeah b/c Med school is a spelling bee boot camp. Shame on me for misspelling a word that I probably never had to spell once in my life with English being my 3rd language. You clearly understood what I meant to spell but you're too petty to chalk it up as a misspelling & keep it moving. You're either a snobbish 15 year old or a bitter 45 yr old.

What's your plan now? You probably will still bank upwards of 70k a year anyway..Depending on where you live, that's still a lot of money.

I'm going to get a license & work in a clinical lab. Plenty of job openings all over the country & won't have more than 10K in student loans. Could make close to 100K w/ overtime & as someone who isn't married or has kids making over 75k means handing a bunch of money to Uncle Sam so I'm cool taking it easy & banking 75K. I also have the option of opening a lab back home in Africa & living like a kings by the time I'm 50.

yeah, sounds like a good plan IMO..Even better is if you live in a cheap ass city, IMO..Do you party a lot, go out a lot?

If you're in your early 20's to mid 20's, it's probably the best time to save or invest...

I'd take the next two years just saving money or investing..IMO.

I'm in my mid 20s & live in LA, I never cared about partying although I went one of the biggest party school in the country (UC-Santa Barbara). I'm also a decent cook so that saves me a lot of money. In any case, I'm an outdoors type person so I'm most likely going to stay in SoCal b/c I absolutely hate HOT or Cold weather. I do save but I don't play the markets (I'm not a gambling man), I used to work at UCLA & they had a pretty good pension system so I'll probably look into a state/gov't job.

Yea, you'd make a good leach; you're already are uppity about anyone who challenges the system too.

maybe you should quit life and blame phonics or the English language, citing communication requires too much memorization, rather than accepting responsibility that your vocabulary is lacking, and may have been influential in your "decision" to not go through with med-school. I for one commend you. I prefer that my doctor can spell and communicate correctly. Enjoy the free internet.

I for one have a other interests than most tools in med school who would commit suicide if they didn't have a two letter initial at the end of their name. Maybe you should step outside your bubble & explore the world but then you are bitter 45 year old who wouldn't gain acceptance into med school if your life depended on it. Maybe you should get a life rather than trollin on the internet while hiding behind a screen. Your opinion amounts a the hot pile of & I suggest you get creative w/ your trollin if you are going to make it a career b/c it was pretty lame. Try harder.

Interesting to see you keep replying.

Interesting to see you had no response....everything I inferred about you must have been right & it crushed your soul now you're trying to put an end to it. Bye!
