Wondering if you've made your decision re: med school, what it is and what influenced your ultimate decision. I have been in business for six-seven years and am also disillusioned. I'm unhappy and have had medicine in the back of my mind since college, when I was pre-med for two years. I'm currently struggling with the decision to do medicine, since the time and effort will be great, and there are other things that I want out of life as well (marriage, family - I am a 29 year old female). Any ideas or pieces of advice that you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

I went through med school, worked for 2 years, and found it was not to my liking.
I felt that I was just working a day job, and wasn't being challenged enough. All specialties I was exposed to didn't capture my attention, and often could be performed without any serious thought.
As a result I left medicine and joined The Boston Consulting Group. I've been here for 2 years now, and do not regret the move at all.
