Anyone else? Every fucking day I feel the urge to give up and get a generic white collar job instead of going through this absolute hell.

Chill bro.
70% of your friends will end up alchoolics and divorced, you will do the same, don't rush and enjoy your youth.
They're normies too, so they don't know shitcoins, you do.

Do you guys not have premed programs or research experience requirements?

>> No.26130117

Idk how the UK system works, but it's not worth it in the U.S. anymore. Med school is fine if you're ok with the loans, but residency is a fucking scam. Like 5 years of working 80+ hours a week. You get one fucking day off a month. Especially now that the minimum wage will be $15, you are literally making minimum wage. If you're smart enough to go into medicine, you're smart enough to get a job in FAANG or whatever else and not deal with the scam that's residency

I dropped out of college to do drugs in 2013 and threw a ton of money into Bitcoin to buy MXE and then was robotripping too hard to figure out how to transfer it to Litecoin. Now I’m a millionaire and central banking institutions are buying my coins.

As someone who got into med school at 19 (in US normal age is 22 to start), I would opt instead for the white collar job.

After I spend the next 7 years medcucking in Shitcago, I will be $300k in debt, partially bald, making a $75k salary working in some strip mall clinic.

I was pulling my hair out trying to get in, and after getting accepted I live in a rented hovel in a nasty city, studying every day. It's no better on this side.

Med students are actually just normie retards with a penchant for memorization. Life has lost its zest.

The rat race is bullshit breh. Let go of the need to impress others if you really want to make it in life. At the end of the day you are alone

UK uni new fag here.
Uni is a left wing scam.
Do you want to earn money or work because you enjoy it?
Labour supply of medicine in UK is very high, work in environmental technologies if you want to be successful.
