I only need one year of calculus though and that's all the math I need.

Biggs is in year 1, yay me.

That's just to earn an MD and be a general practice physician but if you want to become anything specialized then you're looking at several more years.

One of my cousins is married to a nuerosurgeon-in-training and he had to do 4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of med school, and a few years of residency. He's currently an MD but a few years into another 6-8 years of training/residency specializing in neurology/neurosurgery.

Which is one of the four main reasons they're paid a lot.

1) They have to pay off all of the training they had.
2) They work harder than most other professions, and have little to no life out of office.
3) They're responsible for people's lives...can't skimp on pay.:P
4) Who'd want to go through all of that schooling to make $30k/year?:P

Yes, Medical school. Way more important. So, your gf is well taken care of. She must feel better now with the fact that she knows you care so much about her :D

Glad to hear that it's nothing permanent. I hope she feels better and wish the best of luck for you!

And I also plan on doing this doctor route.

I was mostly thinking of physician, but I still got a couple of years to decide on what field.

I stole Sv's topic!
