I have been accepted for med school, but I am kind of confus between two major. I am graduated from Electrical Engineer and the reason I choose the med school because of the job market... I know the med school is hard, but how hard is it compare to electrical engineer?... I do not know what should I do? If anyone can help me out or any advise that will be great... Thanx.

The main thing is that you have to follow your heart and do what you want. No matter your background (to an extent) Medical School is perfectly doable but it is very difficult at times. It requires a lot of time studying and discipline to get everything done. Medical school involves a lot of sacrifices on everyones part but if it is something that you really want to do, put your heart and soul into and go for it.
Make sure that this this something you really want to do because if not you may be miserable.
Best of luck as you try to make your decision.

thanks, but do u think it is worth to go for 7 yrs. and other thing is that I do not like chem. and very weak in this subject. I know the med school is all about the chem. do u think i will be able to handle...

I have no idea about the job market for EE but I will say this much: if you dont like doing the day to day things you will do as a doctor, youre biggest mistake in life will be going to medical school. Think of it:
huge debt, 8-10 years of training, 80 hour work weeks, taking care of people isn't easy if you dont like that sort of interaction, voluminous materials to study made extra hard if youre not interested, if you go abroad a real chance you cant even practice a field youre interested in. Pagers, sacrfice of family life, paperwork galore, exams for the rest of your life, day in day out. This is one of the worst fields in the world to go into if your reason is anything other than you really want to do this.

No one can make that decision for you. Steph said it best, you sacrifice too much to do this if it is not in your heart. It is a big jump from EE to Medicine but your heart has to be in no matter what you do.
It is not all chem based, there are some chem references but if you work hard you can do it.
If you have any doubts are all, why not see if at your local med school you can go and "shadow a student" or go "shadow your family doctor" for a day to find out what it is really like.
I would not be here if I was not 100% sure that this is what I want to do. I gave a great paying job to come here. The decision is yours to make but give it some thought.

Med school is 100000000 times easier than doing engineering.

In medical school, you can be below average intelligence and crap yourself through. Still, the boards will give you hard time, but a Kaplan will get ANY idiot through as long as he/she has 46 chromosomes intact.

I really admire engineers for their ingenuity and cleverness, not to mention their sparkling sense of logic and reason.

To say it this way; a friend of mine (BOTH mechanical engineer and MD) compares it this way;

In medical school, the highest grades go to the one who spends most time reading, while in engineering the one that reads the least is the smartest one.

You don't have to be an idiot to be successfull in medical school although it certainly helps

So, that's the secret!

Medicine is many things. Simply put however, it is both a science and an art.

Personally I feel that medicine is the greatest profession there is. There is an abundance of opportunity to not only contribute to society as a whole, but also to really make an individual difference in someone's life.

Some may look at medicine as a chance to help people, others a chance to make money. Other people look at medicine as an anticing challenge because they like science subjects, ie... physics, chemistry, biology and math, and feel they will be good at being a doctor because they can get the grades. Most intriging though, are the ones who decide to become a doctor because they feel it is their "calling".

Regardless of your impression of what medicine is, or your motive for choosing it as a profession, I would never call it easy. The most obvious reason being that there is no room for error. As human beings, errors will happen. Errrors do happen to everyone in medicine including the smartest, most creative and highly regarded practioner. Errors happen in the chain from nurses aide, to practical nurses, to registered nurses to emergency medical technicians to unit ancillary staff, NP's, PA's and MD's. Misfortune is no respector of person, income or position of prestige.

So lets for just a minute, level the playing field in regards to sex, age, ethnicity, majors, grades, and make everyone equal. Now look at being a doctor for what it is, and not who/what goes into it.

The best answere your going to come up with, is one from your own experience and perspective of what the pro's and con's mean to you individually. Most likely you will group those pro's and con's into intrinsic and extrinsic catagories. Speaking as someone who has been in medicine for the past 15 years, my advice is; the more extrisinc you are, the more you should consider not going into medicine. The more you think of yourself as a "one man island," the more you should look into something else that is a more solo of an oportunity.

Those that are successful at medicine, are capable of it for reasons other than because they think it is easy.
