Is the medical field a good profession to go into?

[Jmmmfi4]

I've ALWAYS BEEN SOMEWHAT INTRESTED IN MEDICAL SCIENCE TO SOME DEGREE OR ANOTHER. IN FACT, IN ANOTHER LIFE I COULD SEE MYSELF BECOMING A DOCTOR.

ANYWAYS, THINGS AREN'T GOING WELL JOB WISE FOR ME RIGHT NOW.

IM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING LOOKING IN TO SCHOOL LOANS OR SOMETHING TO GO INTO THE MEDICAL FIELD IN SOME AREA.

IS IT A GOOD CHOICE? IM A LITTLE CONCERNED I MAY NOT HAVE THE SOCIAL SKILLS TO INTERACT WITH PATIENTS I DON'T KNOW.

Are you prepared to invest 6-7 years and 100+ k into that new career?

It is not for everyone but there will always be sick people so there is a demand for healthcare workers.

WASN'T ME

[AI Opinion]

The medical field is a rewarding profession with plenty of opportunities for growth and job security. It demands dedication and strong interpersonal skills, especially for patient interaction. If you're passionate about medical science, it can be worth exploring roles that fit your personality, such as lab work or research, which may involve less direct interaction with patients. Consider shadowing professionals or volunteering to gain insights. Obtaining school loans is an investment in your future, but ensure this aligns with your long-term goals and personal strengths. Analyze your skills and interests to determine the best path in the medical field.

WHAT

[andreasderjuengere]

''Medicine'' has become a business for profits.
On the very base - such as nursing, rescue/ambulance - there may be human feelings and interest involved.
The rest is about making money.
Guess what - I had been in the emergency room not so long ago, and a hospital clerk popped up, asking me to sign an agreement for specific additional services and treatments... while I was under a breathing mask. I didn't, of course.
Ever since, 'the System' milks cash from my insurance to shower me with medication that they claim to depend on for the rest of my life.

SORRY I ASKED

[andreasderjuengere]

No apology is required :) But thanks.

It's a little late for a career change isn't it?

[Jmmmfi4]

NOT MUCH CHOICE... can't DRIVE TRUCKS ANYMORE DUE TO SIEZURES & ANXIETY

[In_Trance]

And you think those are ok in the medical field? In 10 years time?

[Jmmmfi4]

I SAID SOMETHING IN THE MEDICAL FEILD
I DIDN'T SAY WHAT THAT MIGHT BE

[In_Trance]

Then you'd have debt and never pay it off
