I'm a second year med student, plan to be one at least for four more years + fellowship (that's how it works here in EU).

The path of the doctor is, all around the world, the same old planned shit that ensures a secure – quite financially ensuring – path. That is if you stick to the study, work hard and be-socially-able-to-get-a-promotion workflow.

Even at the beginning of the book "The wolf of Wall Street" Jordan Belfort explains how he started his first day of university in Dentistry school, only to drop out during his very first class, after the professor said to the class that if they had joined that faculty just to chase the buck, they were out of luck.

And now, here I am.

I was raised in a shallow follow-your-dreams family, the best one you could ask for, and I'm still financially aided by them now that I live out of town.

Always dreamt big, I love the faculty I've chosen and couldn't be happier to go to class, but there's just something that's telling me "if you want to rake in billions you have to know how to work in a lab, and if you stick to what you are doing right now you're probably gonna make it as a surgeon, as you want, but not be that Richard Brenson guy you want so bad to be like".

Fellow med students, future-fellows MDs, how about starting a conversation about the future of our profession?
