Well, its a holiday week and I really don't have much to do at work and was getting bored, so i thought it might nice to bring him down a littler closer to earth.
don't get me wrong, i'm not saying he can't ever do it....just not by 25 (unless he wins the lottery)

I am also a Pre-med (having just applied for medical school). Something that is not normally mentioned is the cost just to apply. The AMCAS, the only place you can apply from to many different schools costs 120$ for the first school, then 30$ for each school beyond that, add that to the 200$+ for the MCAT, then if you make the first cut they ask you for a secondary application that runs 50$ -$100 per school. Most people apply to more than 5 schools and most people do not make it in the first time around. Comming from a lesser named school (as in my case, even with high grades and MCATs) makes getting in even harder. College takes 4 years of making nearly straight A's just to be competitive during application. It is nearly impossible to keep a job that pays nearly anything since med schools want to see all your extra volunteer work! As for me, if I make it in, the medical school is 4 years (at $50k a year add more if out of state or private), then residency for a specialized surgeon (cardiovascular or neuro) will take another 6-8 years (only making around $45-50k a year). So thats another 12 years added to my life.. So I will hopefully be 34 before I can practice and start to make the "big" money. If you take into account the falling reimbursement rates from insurance in the US... you know your salary will not be what it is today. Personally, I think there are easier ways to make money than being a physician. Plus if your in this all just to make money, med school interviews generally do not accept people who they feel are into just making money.
I think this thread has turned into a Pre-med/life advice thread way off the topic. But, I thought I would at least let people know the whole process a pre-med has to go through...and the costs.

...hopefully you have the will power to get over it and realize that it is not directed to you and its not like no one ever uses the word "***" so why should i be the first one to start. i have gay friends both male and female and i go to the gay pride parade in chicago with them every year...its not like i hate them and call them names...so, in closing i apologize to you Palm Beach Benz and all of the others that i have offended...Have a great day

wow....its been a while for me. I guess everyone caught on to what i was bringing up. Thanks all you med guys for pointing all that stuff out. Just a side note, I knew that malpractice insurance was bad, but I never knew just how bad. Also I never knew how hard you have to work to be a doctor and just how $$$$$$$$$$ it is to become one. My hats off to you guys for the effort. As for me, I'll stick to my international business degree....(not obtained yet but working on it)
Marino, give us some pics of the car you decided on. Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone
