Did you always know that you wanted to be a doctor?

程度の副詞

In fact, even in college, I was weighing my options between going into engineering, business,

In this video, we'll go over each and how you can best decide which career path is right

What's going on guys, Dr. Jubbal, MedSchoolInsiders.com

Before we dive in, there are two caveats we

must go over, first, my personal story as to how I decided to become a doctor is much

more personal than what I am explaining in this video.

Personal factors, such as being diagnosed with a chronic illness at the beginning of

I go over the full story on my vlog channel, link in the description below.

There are several videos on the vlog channel that go more into my personal experiences

with career options, health issues, and my philosophy on optimizing one's life.

For an even deeper and more intimate view of what this looks like, visit me on Instagram.

At number two, I am inherently biased as I went to medical school and earned my MD.

That being said, I do love engineering and business as well and have dabbled with both,

I will also do my best to be as objective as possible and portray the pros and cons

of each, and help guide you in making your decision.

For those of you with a engineering or business backgrounds, I tremendously value your input

as you have a different perspective than me.

Let me know what you agree or disagree with down in the comments.

First, let's talk about becoming a doctor.

I like many others consider medicine to be a highly noble profession.

You deeply connect with patients, they trust you in their most vulnerable states, and you

can leave a deeper personal impact and change their lives in a way that is difficult to

One of the most common reasons people want to go into medicine and become a doctor is

That sounds great, but remember that you can help others in a multitude of professions.

In many healthcare settings, nurses actually have more frequent and extended patient contact

Policemen help enforce the law and protect those in need.

Firefighters and EMTs help people in the most dire of emergencies.

Engineers and businessmen and women help people as well through their work.

Helping others is not unique to being a doctor.

That being said, the desire to help others is not a bad reason to pursue medicine.

Helping others is fundamental in finding one's life purpose and fulfillment.

However, it isn't unique to being a doctor.

What is unique is the intellectual challenge and interpersonal connection that comes with

I like to joke that all doctors are nerds because it is tremendously difficult to be

successful in medical school and beyond without having an innate desire to learn, grow, and

Medicine is a profession where being a lifelong learner is essential.

You are going to be required to take boards every 10 years, and to provide the best care

to your patients, you need to keep up to date with research.

At Med School Insiders, we go over a wide array of study strategies to make you a more

effective lifelong learner, and that includes learning to enjoy the process of learning.

There are several other reasons individuals pursue medicine, but these are less frequently

spoken about, but at Med School Insiders, we keep it real.

You should never go into medicine because of the money, but to deny the job security

and high earning potential as a factor would be dishonest.

Compared to engineers or businessmen and women, doctors on average earn more, emphasis placed,

Based on the specialty, doctors can expect to earn between $200,000 to $600,000 per year.

There are, of course, outliers to this range on both ends of the spectrum.

The reason you shouldn't pursue medicine for the money is because of opportunity cost

and the rigorous work that is required by the profession.

By the time you're actually making the big bucks in your 30s, you've sunk hundreds

of thousands of dollars into your medical education, and while others have been making

a salary and saving for the past 7 to 12 years, you're been in training and are now you're

finally starting but from a negative net worth.

You'll be working longer hours too, as the average attending physician works 60 hours

In residency, expect that to be closer to 70 or 80 hours per week, plus studying at

And remember the average medical student graduates with close to $200,000 in debt.

The image of becoming a doctor and being rich is mostly antiquated.

With decreasing compensation and increasing student loans, don't expect a lavish lifestyle.

The profession of medicine, after all, is extremely secure.

AI is coming, but it's going to be replacing several other careers before surgeons get

replaced, and people will always need healthcare.

Assess your own risk tolerance and determine what you're comfortable with.

But at the same time, don't let fear of risk pigeon hole your potential future.

Usually, when there is more risk, there is the potential for more reward.

Take business for example, businessmen and women have a much higher earning potential

than physicians and much more potential to change the world, but it's not guaranteed.

In fact, most businessmen and women, on average, make less than doctors.

Stated another way, if you become a doctor, you'll probably make more money however,

you could potentially make more money in business.

Now, certain cultures place heavy emphasis on the status and desirability of being a

While this is a nice perk of being a physician, I am doubtful that it contributes to long

Sure, it's nice to be respected for the hard work, dedication, and long hours, but

if this is your reason for going into medicine, it's not gonna sustain you.

Intrinsic satisfaction and fulfillment from the work is much more important.

Next, let's talk about engineering as a profession.

Similar to medicine, engineering allows you to specialize based on your area of interest.

In medicine, you can go with plastic surgery, pathology, radiology, internal medicine, psych,

et cetera and find the best specialty for your personality and preferred lifestyle.

In engineering, you can also choose from a variety of specializations, such as civil

engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical, and much more.
