I'm not sure about you - I personally did NOT always know that I wanted to be a doctor. In fact, I was deciding between computer science and medicine even in college. I go over how I chose medicine in this video: • Choosing a Specialty -...
Once in medical school, I actually found myself combining all three disciplines in an interdisciplinary biomedical incubator called Blue LINC, which was modeled after Stanfords' Biodesign. In it, we combine students from engineering, business, and medicine, and help these interdisciplinary teams create healthcare startups.

Thanks for watching! What other videos do you want me to make in the future? Let me know with a comment below =)
Hey man, thanks for this video. I'm currently a sophomore in college trying to decide between finance and computer science, and this video really provided me with a better perspective on how to approach the decision. While high finance jobs like investment banking offer a higher earning potential, computer science offers a tremendously better worklife balance. Finance offers more person to person interaction while computer science lets me solve complex logic problems. It's a hard decision to make, but your video really helped my perspective in how to approach it
He got sick and then he sicker a little better. Nice Content! Would you like to be my CZcams Friends :)
Hi, is it possible if you make a video about the specialities available in med school? And perhaps trying to explain them? I'm a senior in high school and have problems deciding what I want in the medical fiel.
I want to be the person who connects doctors, medical industry business people, researchers to improve the health system overall and bring great technologies from the lab to the patients and the public. But I am not sure which kind of job will enable this role and what I should learn for this role. I am currently a bachelor graduate of biomedical engineering
It's awesome how you include more people by broadening your language and using the words businessmen and women =)
In Asia you get four options:

Medical industry: “We’re having a shortage of doctors”
Colleges: “Wanna be a doctor? That’ll be $300K please”
Lol "per year"
Speak for yourself, In Sweden you don't pay for college. College pays you to study there.
And 10+ years training where you make under 60k a year 😑
+Cameron Dunlap Well, when you are a fully specialized doctor in Sweden it takes approximately 15 years you make 55000 dollars a year

In India , we first complete our engineering and then decide what to do with our life
After you completely your boot-leg engineering course does your 20xx graduating class take a celebratory shit in the streets? Or in the river?
Deost you're so fucking entitled it's hurting my brain, do you really think you contribute to your environment at all? Be grateful for what you have been born into and don't bash others for what they are born into.

@Observer x No the education is actually quite advanced... I studied 1 year in Iran when I was in gr.8. I came back to canada and didnt open a textbook or study for any exams all throughout gr.9 and 10 and got A's because I already learned all that material and more from the 1 year in Iran. I dont know how other countries are, but most of them tend to have more advanced high school educations compared to the West. As for post-secondary, one university in Iran is called Sharif, and THAT is a very well respected university even to American universities (many grads of Sharif are accepted to Stanford or MIT). That said, like western countries there are students who choose not to study or to take less education; Iran's community has people with a PhD, masters, a bachelor or even just a highschool diploma. As for what is offered, I can speak for Iran that it does have an excellent education system that really prepares students to advance whether they stay in Iran, or even transfer to western countries. I am speaking for Iran because that is where I am from, I'm sure others from the middle east can fill you in about their respective countries as well. And yes, we do have computers and advanced technology... same as almost every 1st world country in the world. Believe it or not but contrary to what the media portrays, Iran (and many other middle eastern countries) is a first world country. The current sanctions are limiting our resources but the Sharif university I mentioned is well known for its engineering and computer programs.
One of the most common reasons for going into medicine...
Me: Money
Narrator: The fulfillment of helping others
Me: oh...
Don't go for something you won't enjoy.
@@pgxstalkerzs9271
Agreed, people do it anyway though.
@@lStranger The people who choose a career only for financial reasons are the people who will be unhappy during their life and career. It is like marrying a person that you don't love only for his/her bank account. Such a marriage is soon or late doomed!
@@pgxstalkerzs9271 It's work, you're not supposed to enjoy it.
You shouldn’t go into medicine for the money the paycheck is good but you’ll be burned out, sleep deprived, probably won’t be able to have a family, i’m just saying if it’s money you want look elsewhere.

This video needed to come out 4 years ago when I was in high school
I ended up choosing engineering by the way
I chose medicine (atm this is the last year before decree) but I wish I had chosen engineering.
Now I am hoping surgery won't be as bad as internal medicine :/
@iat Woods Unfortunately you have to find it yourself and not listen to anyone around you.
Best thing imo is to see the possibilities of what you want to become from their workdays.
Just pay a visit in their jobs and if they let you be near them and watch what they're doing, that'll be great.
@@ronitnayak4408 What happnd???
what you would change?? @@ronitnayak4408
*One thing i like about business is that you don't have to make it a career choice. You could be a doctor, lawyer, or an engineer and still start your own business or investing.*
people get it wrong even this video creator too...business degree is not just for starting business this is such a big misconception lol. What about Managers huh?? Without managers nothing can happen. Hospitals, Companies, Tech houses etc all are run by managers. And one thing: start you own business without degree? Nah...you can't start a business on big platform without degree there's so many requirements like legal papers, business laws, business letters and so many others that has to be done by businessman/woman.
Alpha Nemesis you can literally get a LLC for 20$. You can definitely start a buisness without a degree and if you have a good launch expect to go public. legal papers......what
@@CloudDayLight legal papers what?... Business law letters, land claiming and there's so many other things. In some countries it's illegal to start a business without business knowledge and degree. And without business knowledge how can you understand the important things of a business. Yes if you want to start a stall or a small shop of clothes, refreshments or a coffee shop etc there's no need of business degree but if you are looking to start a finance firm, bank, product or service company, a whole big company including many management, engineering, design departments you can't do these things without business degree..
Perfect. And to enter busines and investing all you need is a degree from CZcams University, and and an Internship at Investopedia.
@@nycto16 Bill Gates 😅
Here's a big tip:
You don't need a business degree to own a business so you can do engineering or medicine and still do business later in your career.
Ok, thanks
Could you explain that please
People don't get "business degrees" to start or own businesses. The industry knowledge u gain and drive u have is what drives u in whatever business specialization u choose. 100% it's not needed to start a business but dont think for a second that you could have the knowledge of someone in that field just because u read some books and failed at a couple things, that's not how life and application works.
@@hezron1997 exactly real thing is people are uneducated regarding business world. Even big doctors didn't know anything, basically our education system failed at it as children, our schooling system doesn't told us about business world that's the reason why people think "Business degrees is to start business". We study business to become manager and yeah to become manager "you need business degree".
But business majors arent just to make your own business

Not much different from doing any accounting program without a built in CPA cert (THE SAME AS BUSINESS ADMIN - ACCOUNTING from a subpar school). You can't translate most business / management degrees to the real world, they are too general and lack practicality.
My dad solved this issue like this: Right after high school he went and studied engineering. After 2-3 years in the business he diceded to go to a med school. Now, in his late forties, he is doing his second residency (first was pediatry).
That's genuinely impressive. kudos to him
wow 👏🏼👏🏼
great and insparational
What about college

I'm an engineering student in a biotech and green energy startup. My father survived two rare cancers, and that had affected me deeply. My family also comes from a cpuntry where electricity is not reliable. So I've dedicated my life to detection of cancers and cost effective energy conversion and storage.
Hi from UCSD!
Do you mind providing a small summary on your jobscope and what is interesting about it that common people wouldn't expect?
Hey aku. I'm a senior in highschool and am currently evaluating what I want to study. I'm applying to UC San-diego and am interested in persuing engineering and or a science field. It is very interesting how you have dedicated to energy conservation as the world truly does need a change. I just wanted to learn more from your experience because I might be going through a similar path.
Do you mind sharing what your company is called. I’m a engineering student and I’m very much interested in biotech so this is right up my ally.
I remember talking to to one of my professors about the ethics of engineering. He said it is very important to consider how taking short cuts affect others. As engineers we usually don't see the affects directly like a doctor, but if a doctor makes a mistake he kills 1 person if an engineer makes a mistake he kills many. My wife is in medicine, and I always knew I could never do medicine, but he made me realize how engineers also affect people's lives.
Thank you for this info!!!
I remember an american economist talking abt this, he compares academic ppl with engineer/doctor
Don't be afraid to listen to your instincts. I was an engineering major in my second year, and was lining up for an internship in the field. After speaking with a lot of people in the field and deep self thought, I realized business is much more in line with who I am. You can't go wrong with either field, so commit to the one that most reflects what you want to do.
Interesting video. In many cases pressures from loved ones makes the choice for them unfortunately
Happy Facts Lifestyle parents almost made me settle for engineering. I ended up settling for happiness

I was motivated when u say
"remember u don't have to limit yourself in one path"
I think business is an amazing opportunity. My dad has a bachelors degree in computer information systems and he is a high ranking executive at a bank making more than most people in medicine and he is barely 40. And started out as a teller. I think business and medicine are the most rewarding industries to be in.
your language is so much more objective than other youtubers, keep it up.
Good animations but honestly doesn’t seem like that much research was undertaken in the engineering and business careers. Seemed like the video was more related to “how engineering and business career paths can relate to medicine”.
Karlos Villanueva he indicated in the intro it’s based on his experience and admits it is biased towards medicine.
J well then why did he make the title including business and engineering if he did a shit job at researching the two professions then ?
Exactly! He didn't even talk about highest paying business careers.
@@nycto16 The "Highest paying business careers" belongs to entrepreneurs, salaries that can range from bankruptcy or Elon Musk wages

Peace be to you! I am a new subscriber! In my opinion, this is one of the MOST valuable and honest channels dealing with becoming a Physician!
You perfectly explained why I didn’t choose medicine and business. My father doesn’t know what an engineer does and I’ve explained to him on many occasions but he still has the stereotype you present in this vid. You are accurate about engineers not being able to have time for others..not even for those under the same roof. Excellent video. Automatic like & subscription.
Just a correction. Engineers can do a ton of different types of jobs, and some of those are highly interpersonal. Some of them even involve scrubbing into medical procedures, if you are a Biomedical engineer and work as a device representative act as the expert on a device's function during a procedure.

Man, it is crazy coincidence how this video came out! I mean, I have the exact same dilemma as I'm planning to pursue one of those three. And another thing I noticed is our similarities in math, computer science, etc.
In the end, I'm going to find a way to do all three simultaneously as I have some clues on how to publish some of my ideas to the world with this triple discipline approach.

@@Byrzzaa Are the instructions in English or Finnish?
Keep in mind that this comes from a heavily weighted US perspective. In europe people often don't have student loans, the salary is waaay lower and so are the hours/week.
exactly, im from Denmark. I start medicine next summer and Ill be 21 yo. In Denmark education is FREE (for native danes)! and work week is 37hours/week. Its waay different here man, way better I think
I think this is a great video, I'd just like to mention a couple of points from personal experience.
Current full-time employed Engineer here (although also applying to medical school). From my own experience, I have found that most engineers start in the mid-5-figures range and might finish their career in the high 5-figure or low 6-figure range. However, if you want to see that kind of salary increase, you will not be working a 40-hour week. Most of the engineers I know in that salary range work closer to a 50-60 hour week. I'm not disagreeing with what you are saying, I just think it is important to mention that although engineers make a good salary, you are unlikely to increase that salary if you don't put a significant amount of extra work in. Most engineers are salaries so you will most likely not be compensated for that time.
Also, although it is true that engineers do not interact with others in the same way that a doctor does, it is important to mention that engineering, at least in my own experience, requires quite a bit of social skills and a strong ability to communicate with others. For example, the project that I am working on has about 50 engineers, that's not including the other design staff, project management, or construction group. I generally spend at least a quarter or more of my day on the phone, in meetings, or talking with those whom I am working closely with. Once again, I am not disagreeing with you, I just think it is important to mention that if you are someone who does not like working with others, you are unlikely to be happy working as an engineer. In my mind, although the stereotypical antisocial engineer does exist, it is much rarer than most would believe.
How the hell are you a full time engineer and also applying to medical school?
@@bobstone3386 Right?
Thats our secret power haha
Thank you for the comment, it was very helpful :D
this is so true. as an engineering student now, so much emphasis is put on how technical knowledge is far from being the most important thing to being an engineer. learning to communicate and cooperate effectively with people is a huge part of the education i've been getting
These animations are so much better than the previous ones.
@@MedSchoolInsiders do you outsource the animating
I sort of wish I did an engineering/biomed degree before med school so I’d have practical tools and the valuable critical thinking mindset that comes with engineering. I’d love to get into business once I pay off med student loans :)

Excellent video, covers the med angle as I've always been curious.
While I greatly admire doctors, the time opportunity cost is too great. I've got a degree in biomedical engineering and in teaching, and spent much of my 20's in college. My advice for students who don't know what they want to do is:
1) Ignore prestige and peer pressure, and think about what degree will lead to long term life happiness. There is a story of a guy with a science degree who works as a security guard in a research lab. Normal working hours, no research stress, and he can self study when at the desk.
2) Talk to as many professionals and final year university students and gauge their experiences.
3) Treat your first college degree as a special ops mission, in and out asap. Do a 3 year degree and find work in the real word first, rather than locking yourself into a 5+ year degree. Study fatigue (PTSD) can set in if you're there too long and still doubting you've chosen the right path.
I've been through a lot and now run my own business, I don't like the uncertainty of working of a promotion that may never eventuate.
Hello, can you please reply to me? I'm an engineering student who is looking to do Biomedical Engineering after my graduation...
I'm Waiting for ur reply...
@@Saiprasad22 Biomedical engineering as a career or as a postgrad course? What course/major is your undergrad?
@@henrytang2203 Yes I'm looking for Biomedical Engineering as Post Graduate course (masters) and presently I'm a Graduate of Mechanical Engineering...
@@Saiprasad22 Just apply at a biomed company directly. One year of work experience is better than one extra year of study; so don't bother with postgrad masters of biomed.
Biomed companies want specialists (mech, elec, mechatronic, software and physicians). They're less keen on jacks of all trades (biomed degree).
I chose business because of the hard work and value it can have. I know about it being stressful and risky but that's the experience of it, to learn and grow. I also have experience in business, managing a karate dojo as an instructor and going on business trips with my sensei as an advisor, and I loved it. Its definitely not for everyone, but I enjoy doing it and I'm happy where I am.
And this is one of the best career guiding video I have ever gone through. Hats off for your clarity of speech.
I'm currently going to school for Computer Engineering. I have thought about changing my major to business, but then when I looked at the classes I would have to take, the computer engineering path still has me very much so intrigued. Linear Circuit Anyalysis, Digital Logic Design, and Microprocessor Systems and Interfacing sounds WAY better than classes like Microeconomics and Macroeconomics.
I have a BS in Finance. Now I am a computer science major. In between I went to law school. I can tell you that CS is exponentially harder than law school, and law school made my Finance degree feel like child's play. It is almost impossible to compare a technical degree to a business degree.
MSneberger yes indeed, the difference is not made clear enough in high school. But you’ll learn so so so so much more in a technical degree
I love this video.
I am a 3rd year medical student and choosing medicine was not a natural or 'gut feeling' that I had.
I feel like it is almost assumed that everyone in medicine must have wanted medicine all their life and cannot think of any other careers. I STRONGLY considered banking (business) and engineering too. I also find most of my peers think medicine as a degree/profession is on a different level when that simply isn't true. For example, Bill gates has done more for this world than any individual modern doctor, even in medicine. His foundation has singlehandedly made polio eradicate in India from around 200,000 cases to none. That kind of contribution on a nationa/global stage is something very few doctors will ever make. Medicine itself is also not innately difficult. It requires you to STUDY a lot because there is so much content however I feel like conceptually fields like engineering would be far more challenging which is why I was quite attracted to that.
I agree with you. I Was in my first year of medicine school, and i started to go to the hospital, and i didnt like it; it was stressfull for me because i don't like attend patients. I only Was in medicine because i wanted to be scientist and work in a lab. Now i'm going to change to biology sistems engineering, and I combinate my pasion of science, work in a lab, help a Lot of people doing innovation un medicine, and be enterprising!
yeah you are right engineering is hard, but would you say if someone just works hard and studies will they make a good career in doctor or do they have to be smart and also work hard ? asking for younger brothers
@@subarashi516 the medical path requires a lot of memorization and not much critical thinking. so as long as you know effective ways of memorizing stuff you can pursue a medical career
@@aoewou Getting into medicine stresses me more than med school itself lol.
@@angelusvastator1297 Once you get into med school, you'll soon realise that the med course is 10x more stressful and harder than the getting into it part :-/
I loved the odd turn at the end of your video about combining these three areas. I think this is a very relevant line of thought for today, especially with all the new oportunities technology is entailing.
This video struck a chord with me - your description of your interests was eerily similar to my own! Hearing how you have made these multiple interests work for you is certainly motivating and gives me confidence in pursuing a few of my own goals. I would love to combine Medicine and Engineering in particular by taking a year or two out of my current medical degree (UK) to pursue a Masters or similar.
I’m stuck between medicine for security, or taking the risk of trying to get into the Digital Media world. Being a teenager is fun
Don't go into healthcare if you don't like healthcare. If you enjoy healthcare but still don't know if you want to dedicate your life to it, then there's always other options other than doctors such as RNs, PAs, NPs, etc., which all make 6 figures yet don't have nearly as much schooling or debt as doctors.
@@adr77510 what are RNs, NPs, etc?
@@omobolajiayomideajaoshethe4438 RNs are "registered nurses," or simply nurses. NPs are Nurse Practicioners, which are people who went to nursing school and then went to grad school to become NPs. PAs are Physician Associates/Assistants, and they are basically a version of "doctor-lite" because they are given a brief med-school like education in PA school
@@adr77510 Ohh thanks! There are so many options for people looking into helping others healthwise while also making a great income without necessarily being a doctor. I think they're worth looking into!
You're right. I think studying medicine can give you a more guaranteed future than business. You don't need a business degree to be a businessman, just like you don't need to study politics to be a US president, because these professions rely less on special knowledge than on abstract qualities like your personality and wisdom.
Correct! You don't need a business degree to be a businessman! Finally someone understands that logic 😂😂 thank you👌
True but you do need a business degree with a specific concentration in order to work as an analyst or above. All the major analyst positions in corporate that I applied for demanded a business degree and at least 2 years of experience. Luckily I did an internship for 2 years so I was able to apply for those positions.
Karl Jo you DEFINITELY need a business degree to get a good banking or administrative job.

Great job at giving a surface level explanation of each career path while not creating blanket statements about what each career path can offer.
Perfect timing. Thanks for the amazing video.
first year electrical engineering student here from Canada. I think one of the most important things we're learning in engineering are the disciplines and logical approaches to problem solving. We use science, mathematics and logic to back up everything we do. I'm also taking a management minor. Of course, it's too early to say but I'm really excited for what the future brings. I know studying engineering breeds great engineers, and it CAN breed good entrepreneurs. Not to mention many of the biggest names in wealth today have engineering backgrounds. I'm considering starting a business after several years in the field as an engineer but we'll have to wait and see! Best wishes to everyone who chooses to become a Doctor, Lawyer, Businessperson, Engineer, or anything else!
Hey Dr Jubbal! This week I started my 1st year MBBS and watched all your videos again. You are awesome. I could relate with the reasons you mentioned for medicine tremendously.. ❤️
√
MBBS? What's that? What country?
@@shawnreed7876 In the British system, which is followed by most countries, MBBS (short for Medicinae Baccalaureus Baccalaureus Chirurgiae in Latin) is the equivalent to MD or DO in North America.
You're like a mentor to me sir, I am a premed , I get a great help from your vids. Thanks.
This was awesome, man! I think it's going to help a ton of people.
I'm an engineer, been out of school for roughly 4 years, graduated with my BSME and started working in manufacturing soon after...I can tell you there is plenty of interpersonal stimulation if you choose the right career path. Regardless of educational focus, any engineer grad can choose to avoid a more traditional role where research or design skills take precedent and into a more interpersonal role where the soft skills are just as useful. Quality or sales are common choices that include a nice balance of the logical problem solving mixed with plenty of interaction with people
So how much do you make now?
80k
Yikes I'm going through all this comments and end up feeling useless and scared 😂
Same
if it was easier to get into med school i wouldve become a doc but I goofed off in school so the world lost the potentially greatest doc of all time

Of course the contract is 4 years long but you don’t seem to have too many options lol. I took the chapter 1606 through the reserves bc I don’t have debt and my college is paid for :) now mind you, your peers are gonna act like twats to you because you joined the military but hey there’s nothing better than financial freedom and watching those who doubted your decision swim in debt ;)
What if u hate math but still interested in business
@@itsDjjayy I felt that 😭
@@itsDjjayy Business is not about math, it's all about analyzations
I don’t want to be a doctor but the one thing that always made me curious was, they obviously contain a lot of knowledge. But what if your patient asks a question you don’t know the answer to? Like doctors always seem to have answers and its crazy to me
What?? Doctors only have one answer: Take this pill. I wish I could get their salary to shove pills on people all day.
moonrice555
Wtf? Doctors prescribe you pills that you need, is there something wrong with that? Obviously they have to go through a lot of books and studying to know which pill to give you. Theres much more behind it.. Unless they prescribe you wrong pills incessantly and cause more complications.. Thats a bad doctor
Anyways why the fuck r u generalizing doctors to be all like this ? Such a fucking insult, it takes a lot to be a doc
@@exstalle2736 Sadly there is no accountability or constraint on "bad" doctors entering and maintaining themselves in the profession. I wish I could say I disagreed with moonrice555, but these practices are all too common in the field--especially in the US, where they are incentivized.
@@exstalle2736 well said.
@@moonrice555 if that's the case then the doctor sure is not a qualified doctor.
Damn, this really opened my mind to a lot of things.
Thank you.
For my future, I was interested in biomedical engineering with the idea of creating my own startup with R&D specifying in computer to neural interfaces, an example being the device that stops tremors in those suffering from Parkinson's disease. Thanks for making this video! I've recently been contemplating my future, more specifically trying to find meaningful work and how I can best assist the greatest number of people, this video helped greatly in that regard, so again, thanks.
Wow. I’m currently an engineer and I hate the work environment, it’s way to isolated. I was thinking of pursuing either medicine or going back to grad school for bioengineering. Everything you said resonated so much with me and is basically my current inner dialogue.
Hey! Could I ask you some questions about your engineering job? Is there any way I could contact you?
@@cassixpeia3324same doubt 😢
This video sums me up. My interests have been stretched in the 3 fields, and I'm really unsure of what career pathway to take. I'm currently studying biomedicine (pre-med) whilst taking engineering and marketing electives. Would love to find out more
LOVE IT! thank you for this!
I am at this point exactly in my life right now. This video is great because these are the exact options I’m considering as I decide on a college
I've just found this video and felt like you were telling my story. I have an associate degree from high school in informatics ( computing ) which I loved every aspect of the career. Stories of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry ellison, Michael Dell, we're some of the ones I learnt in high school and inspired me, I wanted to be like them and change the world. However in Mexico being an software engineer is not profitable at least that's what I thought that time. ( Coming from a low income family, you start thinking not only in something you love but something that can help you to get out of the hole ) . I started thinking in medicine, I liked the idea of helping people so I investigated all specialties and I decided for maxillofacial surgery, so I joined dental school. During dental school I missed maths and programing , I created an start up where i designed web pages for small business. I discovered what an MBA is and how Indian engineers became CEO of some important companies after a lot of work and an MBA ( Pepsi, MasterCard, Google, Microsoft, etc) . I have finished dental school and doctor do not make that much here in Mexico, but , although I like helping people, I have that silicon valley vibe in my heart. I am not sure if I would be happy after 10 or more years being a dentist here in my small City. If I specialize in oral surgery, it would be the same. I wonder what could happen if I go back for a degree in informatics and then apply for an MBA in the states.
Dentists make a lot of money here in the states. Maybe you should consider coming to the states and opening up a clinic? Here in Texas there are a lot of clinics that cater specifically to Spanish speaking families which is a niche you could capitalize on. It doesn't take a degree in business to run a successful business. You just have to take advantage of your specialized skills by providing a service to others. You must also constantly reinvest in your business and naturally it will grow. I have heard from people who received their MBA's and started their own companies that said they wished they knew more about accounting or marketing so if you do choose to get an MBA I would look into taking certificate classes in marketing and accounting. Another thing to consider is that sometimes colleges and businesses here in the states don't accept degrees from other countries. Not sure why, but I would try to research that topic before you decide on taking any classes in your country if the goal is to eventually transfer to the states.
Another thing to think of is the impact you have on your community. Given your advanced degree in your country, you could be critical in making a large and positive impact on that community you service. You could be a beacon of hope for those who don't or can't see passed simply surviving due to their circumstances. No matter what you do though, networking is important. I believe that most successes are due to very well and thought out ideas backed by a lot of networking.
Can you do a video comparing lawyers and doctors? People often compare the two professions. I took the LSAT and MCAT and scored decent in both. I’m so torn. I want to know inside views of lawyers and doctors! If someone had dabbled in both, that’d be an amazing video!
Thank you for all the videos Dr. Jubbal. I find them so helpful and have been telling the colleagues about it in my MBA classes!
Currently Premed and 100% sure I want to be a psychiatrist, BUT engineering intrigues me as well. Interested to hear your take.
Chiemeri you could stay pre-Med but change your major to engineering and/or become a doctor but maybe try to invent medical devices.
biomedical engineering lmao
Chiemeri same I know I am meant to be a surgeon and I want to be one so bad but engineering and business really intrigues me
Chiemeri i have the exact same problem an I can’t decide what I really want because on one hand I’m in love with psychiatry but on the other hand I love maths ....
THIS IS ME RIGHT NOW. Ive been wanting to do psychiatry for so many years, and now that i am in college I’ve been thinking about engineering!! But I still wanna do psychiatry, but I’m still on and off about it
My plan now is
Started as an engineer then slowly become a business-engineer cross over
Industrial Engineering also exists by the way.
You could be tony stark lol.
@Riceballs Physics and Business*
Same.
I wanna know your location
I was very interested in maths, history and military tech/tactics, but decided to go MedSchool for the stability and money... I guess I've done a big NO NO. Currenly finishing my Medical studies, I am still torn between becoming 'just' a doctor and trying to mix it up with business in some interesting fashion. I think every week how my life would've went if I chose to pursue my passions instead of security :/
i think its ok that you went to med school cause of job security, however if you're not one of the passionate ones and just think of it as a job then you might want to settle with fields of medicine that might not demand a lot of your time. maybe go with fields that promises set hours such as family medicine, e.t.c, then you can have time for family and find your other passions.
You're not alone
damn...
A good businessman can hire all of those people, even the best...
Any major can be a business man too
With business degree, you can BE the business man.
@@noohm2385 nah you can't be a manager without business management degree!
Yo! Management gang here! Without managers nothing can take place even doctors, engineers etc all other professions are managed by managers.
@@lefthanded5473 Business degree is useless, most successful business men didn't even go to college. Can't say the same about doctors or engineers though.
This is great. I'm currently working in venture capital, and looking to combine my passions for business, technology, and health in the near future. As such I'm now at the juncture where I want to specialise in something technical, and was debating bioengineering or medicine, but due to many of the same factors as you I'm leaning towards med. Cheers for the great content!
You are so smart, hardworking and lucky. You deserve it. Hopefully there will be more doctors who can become so at a cheaper rate.
If you are smart enough to do any of the three, then any of them will reap great rewards, engineering degrees are valued to business now days much more than business degrees. If you do not feel confident enough to take the work load of any on, then don't just choose business. It may not have the tougher prerequisites, but people from those other 2 fields that are motivated and switched on are the ones in the finance game killing it.
FYI half way through my masters in finance, yet my mates who never bothered with uni and chose trades are all on 6 figures in their very early 20's. Keep an eye on your alternatives.
Wdym trades? Do they trade stocks for their own personal life, or work for somebody/comnpany to trade stocks for them.
@@nopantssteve6784 Sorry, I guess its Aussie slang (now I know) a tradie is someone who works for a trade (working class) like plumber, electrician, brick layer, builder ect
They won't have the proficiency that you have from attending uni
Can u tell me more about finance? Just simple but can enlighten me. I want to study about it but I still don't fully understand this field
I'm striving to get into medical school and my boyfriend is now done with his business internship and could potentially be earning beyond six figures in the not too far future. Don't go into medicine for the money.
What college degree did your bf take?
Agreed, even if you are making 6 figures there is something called *student debt*
What is he working as
Business degrees are way better than anything! Business is the best major no doubt... even doctors can't beat them (in salary, demand perspective).
@@ossama6080 he must be in Accounting, Economics or Finance, maybe Marketing...
Great video, helped me understand what to pursue. Business, here I come!
Wow! Those were exactly the three careers I was choosing before! I'm still a teenager but I am absolutely sure I want to be a doctor now. Even from an engineering point of view, I guess we can say that the body is the most complex and wonderful machine of all! Thank you!
@Bryan W I am now. Going to start my pre-med studies in September at uOttawa.
@@joaolucasgaldino9872How’s it going
I'm going into medicine at 22 years old after working a few years in business as an accountant, and having completed a business degree from University (specialising in Accounting & Business Law).
How did it go Oliver?
I change my decision each semester
1st sem: Bio
2nd sem: cs
3rd sem: psy
4th sem: thinking of business
my parents are sick of me and I'm too dumb to become what they want me to become
what has my life come to 😓
I went to bio, psy and now I’m business. But we can collaborate if you want to
Su Bin Update?
chibi Chan nursing🥴
@@subin5633 going good?
I went from bio to cs and i havent thought about changing since im starting cs so i hope i do well
I share completely the same opinion with you. Being an engineer as base, I followed a business degree and pursued a pathway and career in ICT. I am now following on a medical degree prior to the pandemic. I have been in the business for 20 years so far, and I do not regret to get into medicine as this age. It was really not for a financial purpose but rather for a self-fulfillment. I still have the dream/motivation to change the world to a better world as 20 years ago. Now I can see a combination of medical, engineering, and business can be a key to keep a dream sustainable. During 2015~2018 I also worked for the government as a role of business incubator/stimulator for young entrepreneurs. During this period I have been in touch of so many world-changing technologies in many fields from cancer drug in biomedical field to electric aircraft and vector-adjustable hybrid rocket in aerospace field.
Thanks for this video
This is the link i was missing in my life to know what i really wanted in life. The reason i checked the video and the outcome i got is really shocking. I am in med school and for a long time i did not know what i wanted to do i think i have found some clue as to which way to travel with my dreams and goals. Thank you
In mexico you have 3 options
- Fruit Picker
-Landscaping
-Taco maker
Don’t forget roofing
Software engineer 100k+ around 3 years in the field, fairly easy, life balance is amazing and best of all you don’t have to deal with people just you and your laptop get to work from home 2-3 days a week still have time to go workout after work and enjoy you car collection 😊 did I mention you can get in with just 2-3 years of school really high demand career is the future 🏎😎
erick world Was the major difficult for you in college?
Software engineering is one of the most difficult majors you can choose, tf you mean 'fairly easy'? lmao
FT8 Barca he is probably a genious
There's no way a software engineer make that kind of money in just 3yrs after graduation.
You can if you work at facebook/google/linkedin etc. but most people wont.
Holy Jesus, i was thinking about this just right now... Thanks!!
Great insight! Thank you!
Good video thanks for sharing.
I’m considering study again (studying for the first time since 2011 when I completed a massage certificate).
I’ve worked in business for the last 6 years and want to get a formal qualification. I’m thinking law or medicine. I then get stuck because I think I could just start a business and make a bigger difference (like your video represents).
No idea what to do. I’m thinking I should just start studying and I can always start business ideas on the side
Oh my gosh,this’s exactly what I’ve been wondering about,medicine or business,that was helpful ❤️
Im too strugling to figure out between business and medicine
What did u end up choosing?
Umm what did you do guys
@@yfdk3846 medicine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭
This is a great video. Thank you.
quick question: I got accepted into med school and I was really thinking about whether i should get in or not the reason of that being that the main reason I want to become a doctor is the beautiful information that you gather and the amazing researches that you can establish. Now what is scaring me is that I am not aiming on curing people, I am aiming at discovering new method or at the satisfaction of solving a really complex medical case so I was wandering if I should go for that or should I have as a main purpose helping people.
My interest is Police/Fireman, Engineer and business
I am a premed/computer science student I like computers and Biology so much.
wow great video, honestly helped me alot thanks
All in on medicine and business ! 🔥🔥🔥
I actually studied nursing finished that then finished my MBA. Now studying CPA exams. I don't regret studying either. 1.I know how to take care of others 2. A business degree very broad/ practical and relevant because you learn about the economy/interest rates/financial reporting/taxation law etc etc which you can apply in real life. Eg. Managing finances/applying for a loan/minimising your tax etc.
I'm in my last year of high school and I think I'm going to pursue on becoming an engineer in uni. I might combine engineering and commerce tho. I'm soooo excited. Who else?!
I truly believe that you can do it ;)
@@user-vc7po3mw6e Im in my first sem in uni now pursuing engineering! I honestly don't remember this comment lol.
Very interesting video. I have a major in Biochemistry, but I am working as a risk and hazard assessment safety engineering consultant now in the States. I was hoping to go into medicine but it was not possible for me in Asia. Yet my Engineering path led me to the States.
I have to say to be an engineer, you have to be interested in creating stuff. There are a lot of trials and errors, while you also have to be good with Maths. And it's not just arithmetic, but also calculus and deep understanding of it. Also you have to be able to transpose one field of knowledge to another one.
I'd love to find a way to combine all three aspects. For that I need superhuman levels of efficiency to learn everything, and I must thank your advise for helping me do that.
Great video. I've finished my MD one year ago. But I realized I like coding and math a lot too so I've started to study. Now, I'm not sure wether to start residecy or engineering 😓
I disagree with one point- Engineering careers do offer opportunities to interact with other co-workers and clients, this is based on what I experienced in real life.
Thanks Dr Jubbal
Great video!
Like you, I was in a tough spot between engineering and medicine but I learned that the engineering market is INSANELY crowded. It’s hard to find a job because there are so many people becoming engineers.
Depends where you are. It's definitely *not* crowded in European countries, in fact there are more jobs than engineers in most electrical/electronic roles.
I guess an MBA after Engineeeing gives the maximum dividends. Being an engineer i am seriously looking forward to my MBA.
Hardik Siroha what engineer are you?
I just graduated with my Bacehlor's in Engineering and am also heavily considering getting an MBA in the next few years. They definitely go well together!
