I've been thinking of a career change. Engineering to something else, considering the medical field. Anyone know of any material I could use to read up on biology and chemistry? Still need those credits from high school cause I mostly took math and physics. Plan on taking summer courses.

Any advice on changing career paths?
Anything I should be made aware of in general?
Not far into engineering currently and going into the military as well by the way.

No, i am not thinking of money, I would rather be doing something I enjoy, which i am not in engineering. Besides, i am sure i will do fine financially in the medical field, even in the military.

*Integer* overflow. Ints don't start writing somewhere they shouldn't when you insert a value too big. They simply wrap around.

Maybe you should consider the fact that:
1. There is more to the army then "Hurp derp overseas"
2. I would even go into the army without guaranteeing my future first.
3. If my country is even that involved in the "overseas conflict"
4. How many medics carry weapons, let alone guns.
5. Geneva convention

>4. How many medics carry weapons, let alone guns.
All of them
Being a medic involves curing injured soldiers while the enemy shoots at you

>> No.2913709

>>2913687
I've read a few threads based on this question, from a forum where many people from my country's military ask questions. You are right, medics *can* carry a gun, but only as necessary if they are in a battlefield, but that comes with the job. Especially if they are out on patrol. I still think that it isn't as serious as being infantry and wouldn't be fighting as much as they would be. I will concede to your point, but I think it is still circumstantial.

>> No.2913723

I don't think there is any point in me being here. Clearly, no one has answers.

>> No.2913795

>>2913676

Maybe you should consider the fact that:
1. Point taken
2.Rofl
3. Have you seen the news(+We're due for a major conflict)
4. All the medics I know are vulnerable to shrapnel, explosives, and gunfire even when they're not carrying weapons ....go figure
5. We don't pay much attention to it
