Comments on: Is It Time To Rethink Your Pre-Med Major? http://www.medschoolhell.com/2007/09/16/is-it-time-to-rethink-your-pre-med-major/ A Cynical Look At Medical School and Medical Training Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:06:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: r.a. http://www.medschoolhell.com/2007/09/16/is-it-time-to-rethink-your-pre-med-major/#comment-24839 r.a.

Aside from a career, what about having many perspectives of life? People must realize that there is much more to themselves and others than just a job. What about life itself? You can't narrow it down to just one thing, not even your one career or passion, no matter how hard you try. We don't realize that there is so much in this world that influences us. Those who think that "pure science" is the only thing in science, I'm sorry to say that you are completely misinformed. Those who think artists are a lazy bunch of freeloaders, please enlighten yourself. Just as a great doctor or scientist must work long hours and test their patience and drive, so must a great artist in order to hone their skill and their thought process. Neither of these are easy in the slightest, but both require the same skills. Analysis, logic, confidence, precision, and an endless amount of thought and creativity. Notice that I say "great". There are many people in both of these professions, but the few who are truly successful embody all of these qualities. P.S. I'm a double major. P.P.S. Guess them.

I love my job and have no regrets. My advice to my children was to choose a major that one was passionate about, followed by real life work experience.Having sat on the board of admissions I was always more impressed with an applicant that brought more to the profession than a 4 year degree in bio or chem. Academically there was no deference in the standings between a science and nonscience major. The well rounded applicant seemed to better in private practice where in the end is what really matters. md I graduated medical school in 1984, residency in 1987 and have practiced internal medicine in a small group practice for 21 years.
