Just thought I would let my nearest and dearest bros know about a big career change I am embarking on.
At 29 years of age, I officially hate my job (well paid, but in finance in a shipping firm)
I literally drag myself to work, as the only incentive is paying my mortage and bills.
I've wanted to study medicine and become a General Practitioner since I was about 10, but decided to take a different course of study at 16 yo
It's now or never, I will be qualified at 35 and a G.P. at 38 (potentially 25-30 years in this career).
So as of this september I will be doing a 'foundation year' and then a 5 year MBBS
-
congrats bro.
inspiring to hear people change life directions instead of staying in the rut.
takes balls, esp once your older have a family and obligations.
respect and GL.

Here I was, thinking you'd donated your corpse to science. ::)

ya good point. he should take the route thats made you such a blessing to society- convicted felon. cant hold a real job so you become a personal trainer, and you make steroids in your sink.
wtf is wrong with you.

listen to your innermost conviction and follow your dream

no one....haven't you heard? he was a successful day trader in jail via smuggled computers, USB drives and phone lines. ESFitness=Wolf of Wall street+Shawshank Redemption.
yep. used excel spreedsheets at the work computers (had to pay a guy $40 to smuggle me in a USB thumbdrive), and had to factor in the cost of the phone calls into transaction costs (calls aren't cheap.. found a way around that by using Magic Jack.. not me using magic jack, but the person I called everyday), and had to work with day old WSJ and IBD's along with news on TV (I had a tv, of course), and did a lot of handwritten paperwork with a little $3 calculator. don't forget, I was trading during the crash, so a lot of my profits were from short positions.... I'd much, much rather trade in a bear market.
I'd traded years before as well though after being introduced to it by an ex gf's roommate.

hold a real job?
lol... what makes you think that?
you know how many jobs I do? and have done consistently? you think I 'became' a personal trainer? lol.. I've been a "personal trainer" for 14.5years now in addition to owning/running/managing/building other businesses.
... and I don't use my sink. but I wouldn't expect an ignorant, know-it-all like yourself to know that.
wanna be a doctor? ok.. that's 4years of university.. then get accepted to a medical school.. that's 2 years of academics... then you gotta pick an area to specialize, or else you'll just be a GP/MD and will be paying off your loans for 50years... and depending on your specialty, you're looking at 2-6years of residency. better be sure you can/will follow it through, since those loans aren't going anywhere.

how do you earn a living noone?

smuggled computers eh?
you should pay attention. I've explained in as easily comprehendable fashion possible, how it was done.

follow your dream bro
ive always wanted a gimmick with a medical background
-
Great for you, BigCyp!
Is there no 'numerus clausus' on medical studies to worry about, or are you already through that?
-
Good for you BigCyp! Good luck !
-

I'm vague about what I do now in addition to personal training (and ugl) for a reason.

Thanks brother.
On a side note, I took two guys through a version of your routine yesterday for arms (i.e. 10 second breather between sets, no rest etc) and it was the best workout I've had for a LONG time - funny thing was I am on 1800 kcals at the moment (my BMR requires 2600) so it doesn't even make sense how much energy I had lol.
-
enjoy a $600k student debt.
I will be working part time to fund my student fees (£8000 a year), the rest is moot since I have enough income from the Mrs part time to pay the mortgage, so will just be travelling fees.
At most I hope to have £20k debt after 8 years to take into account times of hardship etc.
-
Good on you BigCyp, takes courage and determination....good luck
Thanks mate, taken a long time to finally take the plunge but I know in my heart it's want I want to do.
-
listen to your innermost conviction and follow your dream
If I did that I would just follow the cock (no homo)
-
Congrats BigCyp. Much respect for following your heart and having the balls and determination.
Thanks gorgeous, I want to be an inspiration to my wife and kids and show them that you can start over if you want to, and be more successful!

It will come in useful when you are using this account to destroy lovers of the cock, with massively intellectual anatomy descriptions

I will come to you for my periodic prostate exams. no homo
-

I was successful in my exam and interview/application for the foundation year (as I am a mature student I have to take this route) and then this October I will be applying for schools for the 5 year MBBS, so I have to pretty much get distinctions on every single module this year (basically it's A level Maths/Chem/Biology squashed into a diploma).

Grats Cyp!

Good idea Skorp. :D

Would you be interested in helping out with my Gynae placements?

I thought people became GPs by default.
My dad used to say they were failed specialists.
You can become a GP by opening and office with access to Google.
Most GPs just Google your symptoms nowadays/.

If you ever need to practice on joints with rheumatic arthritis, you're welcome to fondle me.

I wish I had done medicine instead of law but feel it is too late, gonna try get back working in the courts in a year, need to rekindle my enthusiasm first.
Girlfriend works for two doctors, one is anesthesiologist and makes great money.
If I'm not mistaken Bigcyp is in the UK where Uni costs are a fraction of those in the USA. However, working in the NHS pays less than a private specialist would make in the USA.

True,
In UK, you don't have to have a degree to get into Med School (You can do a 3 year degree, and then take a 4 year post grad programmer rather than the standard 5 year if you want though)
So it's 5 years at med school = registered doctor (last 3 year of that 5 you are working in hospitals as a student doctor)
Then 2 years placement at a hospital
Then specialise
I would like to become a GP as I love being in the community, have very good links with a big practice in Essex (mother in law manages the surgery) - I can become a partner in a few years after qualifying and earn £120k plus
-

You get about 3 months experience of each specialism whilst you are doing the last couple of years at Med school, so i'm sure something will tickle my fancy, if I change my mind
-
Right on, Cyp. You'll make a top ear, nose, throat, & scrotum man. Not necessarily in that order, of course.
My testosterone feels kinda low. When you get your Rx pad?

Still confusing me with a 'male', big nosed attick dweller... How sad and passé. ::)
My shoulders are fine, the problems are more located in my PIP's, MCP's and MTP's.

x2. Law degree was a complete waste of time. Hated every minute of it and have never used it. Wish I had done something that i was genuinely interested in.

I got just the doc.

dude I like to bust your balls but deep down I think your a good guy.
that being said life for some people isn't about 'making money' or the size of their roll. some people have a voice in them that speaks to potential and unrealized dreams. sometimes that voice is attached also to genuinely wanting a profession where you can give back. help someone. make a difference.
ya man medical school isn't cheap but fuck dude this guy is doing something in his 30's that most people would NEVER considering attempting. it's not like he's a deadbeat loser with nothing to lose. he's established. probably pretty comfortable. now he's going to throw that into a 180.
to me that's fucking ballsy and commendable. plus I think the career path helps people. they guy deserves a 'good for you man!' not a 'what the fuck are you doing'

Up the dose and throw in an anti-e. :P

how do you earn a living noone?
I don't have a glamorous job. im a guy who fills in the gaps in society. there are people who make a difference like teachers doctors social workers etc then the rest of us hold jobs to keep the cogs that help society keep moving functioning. I fill that role. I could work at McDonald's, a gas station, or drive a taxi for all the identity and gratification my job brings. and I'm ok w that. that's my path.
that being said I'm very lucky to have the job I have. I'm goddamm blessed actually. I work 2-3 days a week. this summer I'll have worked 4 days since may 16 till I go back to work tomorrow. I have disposable income enough to travel a few times a year and maintain a comfortable life.
my job doesn't give me my identity nor a purpose greater than just being another tooth in the cog. and I don't need it to. :)
-
Thanks brother.
On a side note, I took two guys through a version of your routine yesterday for arms (i.e. 10 second breather between sets, no rest etc) and it was the best workout I've had for a LONG time - funny thing was I am on 1800 kcals at the moment (my BMR requires 2600) so it doesn't even make sense how much energy I had lol.
bro the less you eat the more energy you'll have. it's an odd dynamic but its true as your seeing.
as for the routine fuck it's ridiculous man. I'm spending far too much time outside this summer to get around to wrapping it up but it's a real game changer. no lie.
-
Up the dose and throw in an anti-e. :P
hahaha right?! so not me.
what's funny is that I did up the dose last night. doubled it actually. w the training I'm doing and the gains I'm making on 500mgs a week I got curious too see what would happen it I opened up the throttle a bit esp given the cardio I'm doing. I *think* it'll all end up very dense lean tissue. we'll see.

It surprised the shit out of me, especially when I started with barbell curls
I warmed up to my max (no rests) and then I was expecting the following to happen because of only having 10 secs (max) pause
Set 1: 12 reps
Set 2: 9 reps
Set 3: 4 reps
Set 4: 3 reps
Set 5: 1-2 reps
What actually went down was, 12 reps, 11 reps, 11 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps ???
Why the fuck have I been sitting there for 1-2 mins between sets playing on my phone for years

Great post.
The key is here, you are not comparing yourself to someone else/someone else's value system.
Where you are currently at works for you and you're getting what you want from it = win = a secure personality

do you have to take the "MCAT's" in the UK?

do you have to take the "MCAT's" in the UK?
Some schools want the MCAT, some the UKCAT
I am taking the UKCAT in 4 weeks time :'( :'( :'(
I am dying to get into Kings College, love the location/history/quality of teaching there they want around 800/900 in the UKCAT for an interview BOOM

I saw this coming years ago it no longer enough for you to stare at buff men on your computer, so I am guessing that you will be servicing the bodybuilding community giving prostate exams with your finger to bodybuilders.

x2. Law degree was a complete waste of time. Hated every minute of it and have never used it. Wish I had done something that i was genuinely interested in.
I liked law and excelled at it, got to national final of moot trials and represented Uni internationally in debates (plus good grades etc). One thing that sucks is it is so specific. Firstly, I can only practise here with my professional qualification. Secondly, economics, science... these type of degrees confer useful skills for many different types of jobs, law less so.
That and to get the courts you have to traipse over heroin addicts, scumbags and human filth. It is in the worst area of Dublin.

Surely you can find an in somewhere other than criminal law? Or is that one of those who you know things?

That's fantastic news. Seriously is, but who is going to pay your mortgage and bills while you do this? Medical school is more than a full time job.
-

I specialised in commercial law and torts (of which personal injury is a component). They only recently separated criminal and civil courts, but only by a few hundred metres. Just a shitty part of Dublin. One big reason is that because voters would complain about methodone treatment clinics in their own towns they just put them all in a small radius in the inner city. So everyday hundreds if not thousands of addicts bus in to that area, lie around shooting up, sell heroin, beg/harrass people, steal from shops etc.

Congrats! My friend just became a GP and is moving to a rural community as they do loan forgiveness is you work in buttfuck no where.
I'm upgrading and thinking of doing the same thing or going into pharmacy now that my wife's almost done her schooling. I imagine you've been doing lots of serious soul searching and noggin scratching, but I'm saying do it. You've already announced it here, so don't look back and move forward!!
All the best, bro!

Seeing as we* are living to our eighties and nineties, there's no reason why anyone shouldn't have the opportunity to try new things or switch careers. Good on you :)

during your first year and especially your second year of academics (med school), there's no way you'll be able to work and go to school and expect to pass. it's not like regular school.. if you fail one class in, you fail the entire year.. maybe you'll get lucky and apply to retest and maybe they'll approve it provided you work in the 'summer' on research projects or something.
my gf is in med school now and finishing her first year. her roommates are in their 2nd yr... so this is not something I'm ignorant of and just making shit up. lol

What is your under grad degree in? And what the fuck is a foundation year?
"AMCAS and MCAT mean nothing to British medical schools. You apply through a central agency called UCAS: http://www.ucas.com which allows you four choices for medical school. It's best to train in a medical school in the country you intend to practice indefinitely. You'll face many issues if you go against the grain (speaking from experience). British medical schools will charge you close to what a private U.S. medical school asks for in tuition, and most of the programs that accept internationals are five years long. "
THE BEEF
-
<Something about getting a second opinion>
-
Have you been accepted into medical school yet?? That's a feat in itself.
First 2 years are the toughest, according to my good friend who is in his 2nd year of emergency medicine residency.
Sounds like you're not even doing it for the money as the motivating factor, which is commendable I suppose. But you will be well compensated if you go through with it and average bills won't be a big deal to deal with.

Good luck Cyp......
My sister in law just started her residency in pediatrics a month ago.....my wife's a DMD both her parents are MDS.....
If I cough at home I have to do it quietly or the thermometer comes out....when I see the red one I grab a knife and prepare to defend myself.

You may want to consider becoming a PA or nurse practitioner. With the way healthcare is now their is a huge demand for them and they are six figure jobs. A surgical PA does everything from harvesting veins graphs for bypass surgery to assisting in hip replacements. In primary care you would see patients and be able to prescribe medications.
Just a thought.

Congrats Brother!! I also entered the field of Medicine..entering my 30s...def worth the exposure to this vast field of knowledge... my only suggestion...as I do have experience w/ having to go through the preliminary "Foundation" post-bach... DO NOT ATTEMPT to work part time!!! As you will be consistently pressed for Time Management Skills... esp coming back to school after a long lay off... The greatest difficulty in this field is not so much the difficulty of subject material (as you will always find yourself fascinated n' enjoy what you're learning) BUT how can you manage all this VOLUME of material in a timely manner?.. Once again... School "setting adjustment" and "TIME MANAGEMENT" are your two biggest concerns.. If you don't believe you are placing 100% time into medicine.. the road to completion will be next to impossible... my honest 2 cents brother... Stay focused man.. Pursuing one's passion is always worth it... Last thing... going for medicine pays good they say.. but cannot be your driving force --if you want to survive.. coz there will be several breaking points... think of your journey as an "opportunity" rather than an "obligation"...esp when you encounter tedious study material that does not excite u....

Just thought I would let my nearest and dearest bros know about a big career change I am embarking on.
At 29 years of age, I officially hate my job (well paid, but in finance in a shipping firm)
I literally drag myself to work, as the only incentive is paying my mortage and bills.
I've wanted to study medicine and become a General Practitioner since I was about 10, but decided to take a different course of study at 16 yo
It's now or never, I will be qualified at 35 and a G.P. at 38 (potentially 25-30 years in this career).
So as of this september I will be doing a 'foundation year' and then a 5 year MBBS
What is an MBBS? Is it an MD? Or equivalent to an MD?
I am from America, so anything outside of America does not exist and does not make sense to me. :D :D

Not to Booty-Priest all over someone's hopes and aspirations, but suddenly wanting to become a GP seems a bit odd: it's like suddenly wanting to become an infantryman and shoot people in the face -- you'd think there would be an expressed propensity for the profession by now if the person were for real.
You've been an excel wizard for a while now but are suddenly going to be in it for the long hall of 5+ years of specialized instruction in an entirely new field without having any foundational science work? You're already evincing a lot of ignorance thinking you'll have time to work part time and not being aware of how much debt you will take on.
You better be for real on this, more than the comedy writing bullshit you came up with sometime ago.

I left education after college because I found revision and long essays at that level tedious enough, I can't imagine doing a proper intensive course and being able to remain mentally sane. :D

I should point out that postgraduate entry to medicine is extremely competitive.
Even doing undergraduate medicine as an adult with former work and family commitments is profoundly challenging (i believe you're doing the 5 year undergrad ye?), so this is a huge achievement.
People talk a lot of shit about medicine, how the hours are brutal and the work is grossly challenging, but if you choose prudently the right specialty and the right area of the country, then the job is extremely personally and financially rewarding.
My only regret is having competition in the doctor/bodybuilding niche I currently occupy.

I'd just started seeing a woman, about 8 weeks in, when a spot appeared on my dick. Naturally, my first instinct was to plant her in some remote location but, since I was working away, homicide (which nevertheless may have favoured the alibi) was inconvenient. Instead, I go on down to the local UK emergency room, in Lincoln I think, and drop my drawers.
The pommy-geeza in the lab coat is an amiable, chatty sort and decides to take a full history while I hang there like a frightened turtle, and he really seems to enjoy getting ready to put on the surgical gloves without ever actually getting around putting them on. Eventually, he does, and I lay down as per instructions while he glides alongside and clasps my weiner with an aire of all the professionalism he could manage.
I can't remember what I ate that day or if I was exposed to some peculiar or extraterrestrial allergen but my genitals basically made a run for it. It wasn't especially cold in there but things were more or less at scale model size and retreating fast. Unphased, he takes a brave grip, elongates the member like the first determined Englishman to wrestle with a specimen of india rubber for the betterment of Queen & Country, and proceeds to peer as if through a glass, darkly.
"Is that it there?"
"Yes"
"Aye. Aye. I see it."
"So..."
"I'd like to try something. If ye don't mind."
I was feeling pretty confident, despite appearances. There weren't any scalpels poking proud of his sleeves and it was clear that, although he was a youngish man and not unattractive, I wasn't exactly ripe for horseplay.
You've got about eight words in your vocabulary in this sort of situation. I selected 'ok.' He was probably a cultured chap, opera, fine dining, engaging conversationalist, etc, but here was obliged to lean in under fluorescent NHS lighting and squeeze, as one would a zit, a small measure of pus from a curious white spot at the root of an American tourist's shrunken penis.
And that's how I discovered that I didn't have VD. Stark truth. But he saved a life that day.
Be gentle with us, Cyp.

gf's in med school. far as I know it's 4yrs university, 2 yrs med school (academics), then your residency for anywhere from 2-6yrs... for md, I dunno about residency. but I'm fairly certain it's 4yrs plus 2yrs med school.

That's here. They do things differently over there. BAs turning into MAs, Oxbridge-wise; right to Law/Doc degrees, etc.
-
post grad medicine is 2 years in class and 2 in hosp, then you are a qualified junior doc for at least 2 years doing general hosp medicine in different depts. then you normally pick a specialisation. my sis went for GP, i think its another 2 yrs of general med in hosp and then 2 or 4 years of GP work before final qualification.

Oh don't get me wrong, with 700,000 (or something like that) of us in the UK there are bound to be some fucking abysmal doctors. I work with some currently I wouldn't let touch me with a spoon, never mind a scalpel blade. But it is the nature of any mass industry (such as healthcare) that some people exist within it merely to keep the wheels turning, nothing more.
I'm glad you're letting a negative experience influence you in a positive way, you're taking a higher path and I do admire that.
As for sewing up bumholes, I haven't yet had the pleasure, but I would certainly welcome the opportunity to supplement my meagre nhs salary by sweeping up the debris from a bodybuilder's traumatic "schmoe-ing".

Ahh gotcha.
To obtain an MD in America its 4 year of university and 4 years of residency.
In America, to obtain an MD, you have to first obtain a 4-year Bachelor degree with a concentration in Pre-med, which covers all the necessary sciences for admission into med school (typically 2 semester of each of the following: biology, chemistry (Organic + Inorganic), and physics).
After you obtain your Bachelors Degree in Pre-Med, you then apply to Med School, but must take your MCAT's first.
Once you obtained a decent enough score (35 or higher) on the MCAT's and have your 4-year BS degree (with a good GPA 3.75 or higher), you typically can get into a good Medical School.
Medical School is then 4 years long.
Once you finish Medical School, you match into a particular residency. The most common one to match with is an internal medicine residency, which is a 3-year long residency.
After you complete your internal medicine residency, you can always opt to specialize in something like lets say Cardiology. Cardiology then requires a 3-year fellowship. Once you complete that, you are considered a Cardiologist.
So, in summary, assuming you want to become a Cardiologist (Medical Doctor Specializing on the Heart), it will take you this long:
4 years (Undergrad pre-med) + 4 years (Med School) + 3 years (Internal Medicine Residency) + 3 years (Cardiac Fellowship) = 14 years total from the time you finish high school.
If you already have a Bachelors degree with all the prerequisite sciences and have taken the MCAT's, you can then get into Med School and you can end up at the same end in 10 years (4yrs-med school + 3 yrs internal med resid + 3 yrs cardiac fellowship = 10yrs).
"1"
P.S. Not every residency takes 3 yrs. Some residencies can take as little as 3 years, while others can be up to 5 yrs long.
Example:
Internal Medicine = 3 year residency
Anesthesia = 4 year residency
Orthopedic Surgery = 5 year surgical residency
** Since things like Cardiac & Gastroenterology are sub-specialties of internal medicine, they typically require 3 extra years of what's called a fellowship ON TOP of the initial 3 year internal medicine residency. So, if you want to become a gastroenterologist, after you finish med school, you have to do 6 extra years of training (3 years of internal medicine + 3 years of Gastro Fellowship).

Just thought I would let my nearest and dearest bros know about a big career change I am embarking on.
At 29 years of age, I officially hate my job (well paid, but in finance in a shipping firm)
I literally drag myself to work, as the only incentive is paying my mortage and bills.
I've wanted to study medicine and become a General Practitioner since I was about 10, but decided to take a different course of study at 16 yo
It's now or never, I will be qualified at 35 and a G.P. at 38 (potentially 25-30 years in this career).
So as of this september I will be doing a 'foundation year' and then a 5 year MBBS
