Hey Hoover-

What’s your current situation? I’m sure if I read enough articles I could find this, but I was just wondering if you were in med school and finished, or quit to work at your company, etc.

Cherokee - It certainly isn’t easy to do something you genuinely love and get paid for it, but it can definitely be done.

L - I’ve started a category called Alternative Careers that looks at some of the non-clinical jobs that can be done with an M.D. There isn’t much there right now, but hopefully it will grow over time.

As far as what I do, I founded and run a company full-time. My industry is technology and marketing.

like i said over at pandabear’s - first, thanks for the service you’re providing. it’s definitely important to take a long hard look at what medicine really is before diving in (i especially like the idea of shadowing a resident for a whole month straight - i definitely plan on doing that before doing it for the rest of my life).
second - can you elaborate more on careers that an MD can be used for? (other than medicine), and maybe what it is that you do?
sorry for the ramble and thanks again
