Is it worth going into the medical field?
When it comes down to the cost and years it takes to become a doctor, I want to know if it's worth it. "The median four-year cost of medical school was $278,455 for private schools, and $207,866 for public schools in 2013 [...]"(1) In order to become an actual doctor in a certain field of medicine, you have to go through eight years of medical school. This being said, going into medical school can cost almost half a million dollars for adults under the age of thirty. Although that is the case, if you were to follow the right steps and to actually become a doctor, you would be able to make it up in less than ten years because the average salary of any doctor is $100,000-$200,000. "Many people search their whole lives for a career that brings them fulfillment and a sense of purpose in life. A career in medicine is one relatively sure way to find that purpose, particularly for individuals already passionate about bleeding science with care for humanity."(2) I don't have a passion for science but I do have a passion for helping people and making money; after reading the article and more about specific doctors, I would like to maybe try going into the medical field myself.

ReplyDeleteI think it is worth it. Striving for a career in that field does pay off because the money adds up and the experience shapes you into a better person. And there are always improvements in medicine, so you'll always be learning.
