Just Like Grade School!

If you run the numbers it's like starting 1st grade all over again.
You graduate high school and start back over at 1st grade. It is an additional 12 years before you get a real job. If you are lucky and go straight through!
Four years of undergradute training, then 4 years of med school, and then a minimum of 4 years of a residency. (More if you opt for specialties and sub-specialties.)
I remember my dad talking to me about my choices when I decided to be a doctor. He said I was going to get the B.S. and was on track to start a Ph.D. program. He told me an M.B.A. would help in whatever I did. Now, son, you are telling me you want to be an M.D. All I want to know is, when are you gonna get a J.O.B.

Restart the clock.

Great article about med students getting back to school.
