Thanks so much for watching! I realize that this is my first video and I didn't have the best equipment when filming it but I tried my best with a lot of edits in Final Cut Pro. After filming the video, I went out to buy some new camera, audio and light gear so that my future videos can be better!
In my future videos, I will be talking about the Software Engineer lifestyle from the perspective of a college student and also some of my college experiences.
Furthermore, I want to share my experiences with recruitment and interviewing with many different tech companies and provide videos on how to recruit, passing the technical and behavioral tech interviews, and finding a tech internship/full-time job.
Finally, I want to provide tutorials for beginners to help them with learning to code because I feel that it is a super helpful skill to learn!
Make sure to like andsubscribe if any of those appeal to you!

I don't know anything about programmers but if they're all as hot as this guy I'm switching into computer science.
HAHA
😂
😂😂😂
Yes bro seriously pls make it
Pause
I made the switch almost 2 years ago, while studying for my mcat. It took me a lot, but today I can say that it was the best decision of my life. I’ll probably make a video about it.
Greetings, Manuel. Do you have an e-mail? I would like to contact you to know about your experience. I'm currently trying to make the switch. I'm a med student from Brazil.
Congratulations..i wish God cared about me enough to do so
I’m stuck between doing medicine and engineering and they’re 2 completely different fields… I hate making decisions
Same
Same
Be Biomedical engineering
Same :/
Same 😭
Love how you talked about the other fields of consulting and investment banking in comparison to computer science!! Can't wait to see more videos on your channel :)))
aww thats so sweet thanks christine!
love this content, very relatable, solid 10/10, more please
Thanks so much man!
This video hits home cuz my parents have always had high expectations of me and wanted me to become a doctor for a stable salary and career. However, I don’t know if I can work up to the high GPA standards of 3.8 (except maybe 3.5) or shadowing or volunteering all the time. Additionally 4 years med school when I could be enjoying the prime of my life??? I want that BALANCE in my life and be able to have time to experience new things! At the same time, I don’t wanna disappoint them, but then also this is MY life. This video was pretty helpful so I thank you for uploading this content!
THANKS for watching appreciate u
Same, also med school you still have to take possibly like 3 years of residency so that's like 7 years of not getting paid plus 4 years of hard studying but some people get jobs for CS from the get go and even get stocks if some FAANG company. I was forced into premed lol but I was thinking of switching
@@MrLuffy9131 how are you finding pre med
Exactly. And time is far more valuable than money, there are plenty of ways to make enough money but no way to obtain more healthy time in the future.
Don't worry, one of the Vet Med Schools in US have a minimum 2.25 GPA so just enjoy your college life without anxiety over your GPA, at least your parents' wish of you getting a "doctor" title in front of your name can still come true. You can even attend an online overseas Podiatry school in Europe's educational system PGCert>MSc>PhD
(UCV Spain: PG Certificate International Podiatry+Univ Cordoba: Diabetic Foot Certificate then Queen Margaret Univ MSc Advance Practice in Podiatry) with your choice to select a practicum spot in your home country and after graduation you can still be able to work in USA by starting your career at American Samoa coz their territory law accepts overseas trained Podiatrists then you can jump to Utah later via reciprocity license (no need APMA license). Or start in Canada then jump to North Dakota(after 2 years of Podiatry practice) via reciprocity because that's North Dakota's state law condition for reciprocity applicants.
Even some Dentistry schools don't care about your GPA, as long as you have money for paying the tuition fee.
Thank you for this video!
Hi I was in a similar situation as you except I went all the way in the medical field. I have a B.S in biology, Minor in chemistry, and doctorate in pharmacy. My asian parents had certain exceptions of me that I felt I had to achieve even though I never enjoyed the medical field. Now that I'm a pharmacist, I detest it. The outlook for pharmacist jobs is declining along with decrease pay and work conditions each year. I can't see myself working in this field for the rest of my life. Like you, I never had any ambitions toward any subject so I just chose a career that my parents would be proud of. Now I'm considering computer science. I'm going to start by teaching myself how to code and see how that goes. If it goes well, I'm planning to be a full time pharmacist while getting my B.S in computer science which will take 2 years through a post-bacc program. Hopefully I can transition fully into computer science career. Looking back, I was really good with technology when I was a kid. I was the 12 year old kid on the phone with the IT guy trying to fix my dad's computer and I did enjoy it. I just never considered technology because I had no one to talk to. Thank you for your video, it has motivated me to move on with my decision.
Aww i love this! Feel free to dm me on insta if u have any more questions! I Support u!
I am in a similar situation as you, can I ask which post bacc program are you looking at? thank you!
I was in the same situation and it's like oh you can't go into med school then go into pharmac...lol I was considering going into CS and I was wondering what kind of post bacc is it? I keep thinking that I have to spend another 4 years like I did for bio
As someone with a 4 year degree in CS, I HIGHLY recommend against it. Just go to a 6 month bootcamp that has a high job placement %. Or one that you don’t have to pay until they land you a job. Going to school for 4 years in CS was a hugeeee waste of time for most people since you will start your first job with a whole bunch of bootcamp graduates anyways. Only reason to even consider it is if you want to do data science (in which you’ll need a masters in CS)
Switched from exercise science to computer science. Self teaching myself code as I start my computer science journey with a bachelors in health and human performance. Wanting to get involved in the web dev field with a niche in clinical informatics and exercise science (worked for a hospital for years and did personal training for years). Enjoying coding a lot more and plan to fully switch careers ones income is sufficient for living.
I am too fascinated by software...
I am a Surgeon....
Kindly acknowledge me which programming you started with..
Hi there! I am in pre-nursing school ( waiting to see if I got in for nursing school), and I already have a past with IT college, but it was back in Brazil. I am thinking about Switch to IT since I do like nursing, But I Don't love it, which is making me go back to what I enjoyed before … can’t get why I am not 100% about health career since I though I would love to work with people and help other. Sometimes I believe that I gave up on IT due to what I thought would be a security job here in USA and the answers were always HEALTH CARE
Wow thank God I found your video!
Man I’m bout to be a freshman in college in literally bout 2 months and I’m still contemplating about my major. I picked nursing but just recently I got interested in computer science after I fixed my computer lol. All my life like you I wanted to become a nurse, but I heard nowadays their so burnout and mostly underpaid which is ridiculous. I just don’t know anymore what to do. But with computer science I’m not too good with math and know nothing about coding, but I’m up for the challenge. Hopefully I make the the right decision for what’s best for me mentally.
what did you choose?
I feel like I kind of relate to u
omg no way i am literally in your situation rn except the fact that i can't switch my major unless i take a freaking hard test again!
Going thru the same thing man?
What did you choose?
Thank you for the video! You really helped me a lot!
I'm from Brazil, 20 years old, and currently finishing the second year in the med school of Federal University of Paraná. Every new semester is such a pain for me that I end up anxious and frustrated.
Here is some background. My grades are good. I had created an extension project called "Learning Support Project", which aims to discuss evidence-based learning (through Anki) and other things with graduate students and professors. Also, the professor who helped me create it has already invited me to her research group. The point is that everything I'm involved has nothing directly to do with medicine. Everyday I see my friends saying that they are loving the rotations, internships, the contact with patients (even though, because of the pandemics, the workload of practical classes has decreased), the clinical cases... I don't feel the love and the enthusiasm of them. I don't like the hospital atmosphere. I don't even see myself as a physician, regardless of the specialty.
In my country the process to enter the college, although some are free, involves one taking a test about all the high school subjects. I passed the test in my first attempt, even though the college I applied to had huge competition. In Brazil, there is nothing like two years studying biology and after this entering medical school. Here, after one pass the entrance exam for medical school, he stays 6 years studying from the basics sciences to the clinical competencies. Here, medicine has the most difficult admission exam of all the other college courses.
After telling you my background, I wanna say that I'm not happy being a med school student. I'm worried about continuing the course and ending up frustrated and putting patients' lives at risk. I get really excited every time I try to do some coding or deal with digital design. Also, I love philosophy and psychology. Everything I like to do, all the talent I have, doesn't seem to fit into the practice of treating patients with a disease. My reasons for taking the entrance exam for medicine were simply the fascination for the brain and the huge cliche family pressure and judgement.
I haven't quitted yet, but I'm very thoughtful and sad.
Can anyone give me some light telling about your experience? I'm very afraid of giving up and not getting support from my family, besides fearing that I won't find my way anymore.
You know... Med school is very very difficult. And, if I don't love the profession, how could I pass through it?
you don't know how much i am happy and exciting to read ur comment, when i read ur comment, i said ' that's me!!" ..we have alot in common.
I am from Yemen, and currently finishing the 2nd year in the med school, i had yesterday exam in the pharmacoloy and the final exam will be next week in the epidemiolgy.
in our country the processing to enter collage as same as ur country, i passed the test in my first attempt with huge competition.. i have a friend from the high school and he applied 3 times to enter the med school ,unfortunatly, he couldn't pass. so he entered dentistry instead of waste the time but he still have incredible passion to study medicine and be physicion. ( that surprise me and make me respect him so much).
when i was child i wanted to be a doctor like my father, i studied hard in school and got high degrees. after the high school i knew about programming and i loved it, so i purchased laptob and i learned web developing languages.
after i entered to the med school, i felt like it is not what i wanted.. no enthusiam, no passion to be physician and work in the hospital.
i couldn't imaging that will be my future.
Actully i love biology of human and many medical subjects, programmingg and engineering, i also love philosophy and psycology.
so i wanted to study somthing mix b/w medicine, computre scinece and engineering then accendently i found this domain it is called ' Biomedical engineering', unfortunnatly it does't tought here and i can't travel to study it, and my parents pressure me to continue studying medicine and be doctor.
on 10/2020 with the beginning of 2nd yr of the med school, i heared about AI and there is specialty called AI in medicine, i read alot about it and - it blued my mind - i decided to study it by self-learning beside my study in the med school (secretly, away from my family's eyes 👀 ), I knew also that I don't need for a degree to get a job in AI field.
My advice to u is to know what really u want, what u want to be and what the value u will give to the world?
I don't recommend u to quit now from the med school before u become financially independent
Or you can switch to another college that u r indeed love it and u will continue.
@@mohamedjaidi203 wow, thank you very much, my brother!
I would like to talk more with you! Could we exchange e-mails?
I sent my emails many times here but it seems CZcams remove it, I will try again with make spaces
@@E_tnt nossa, muito obrigado, Eduardo! Queria conversar mais de perto contigo. Teria algum endereço de email? Faço faculdade na UFPR!
Hi guys, how's it looking with y'all? I find myself in almost the same situation, and it's quite frustrating. Only I am still in the first year, and there are already many things that make me question my choice... The main one is the lack of logic. I don't know whether it's just Eastern Europe thing, but so far, the whole school is only about memorising textbooks and reproducing the exact words at the exam.. So far something like logical thinking, problem-solving is for no use. I am more interested in the research part of things and considering switching to biomedical engineering, because of my interest in BCI, neuroprosthetics, AI, and so on. So how is it looking with you guys, did you find some reasons for staying/moving to another school?
Me whose also confused between Medicine and Computer Science. It's been 4 months since i have began researching between med and CS. This vid gave me quite a bit info but i'm still not stopping here, going to research more. The earlier you decide the better it is (btw i'm a freshman 9th).
So what u r upto...decided?!
@@inspiringmuslimcomputer science of course!
Awesome video! This hit home as I was trying to medical route as well. Unfortunately, it didn't work out which in turn led me to get into basic programming. Haven't looked back!
YESSS ahhh im glad you were able to find that out!
I'm currently a premed and before the pandemic I was really motivated to become a doctor, after going through this pandemic, I've pretty much lost all interest in even applying to med school. I'm a biology major and as a result I'm thinking about switching my major to software engineering. I'm currently a junior (one credit away from being considered a senior at my school). I was wondering how your path to programming looked like and honestly I just want to know if I'm not going crazy and that what I'm considering isn't completely insane lol.
@@Scriabinfan593 Definitely not insane my friend! The reality is becoming a doctor is an INSANE amount of work. Also for the first little while, your quality of life will be tough. But if you can get through that, being a doctor would be an amazing career. The question you have to ask yourself is why is it you wanted to become a doctor? The reason I wanted to was 1) help people 2) prestige of the role 3) make money. My path to programming has been slow but I've really enjoyed it along the way. What excites me most about it programming is that I can build all the cool things I've always wanted. I'm my only limitation. Ultimately comes down to how you want to see your life play out! Whichever you choose, commit yourself 100% to the process and you'll find success.
Did you land a job in programming? If so any tips go getting in the field?
@@stevensmith4706 I found one that was programming adjacent. So not quite a true dev/SWE job. But because I have the connections now my next move will be into a true dev/SWE role in the next few months. Best advice I have is to try and get yourself as close to the role as you can. It makes it so much easier to strike up the convo with a boss/manager about what you want your next role to be. Good luck!
Thank you so much for sharing this video, Today is my first day at university and I'm so nervous as I don't have any idea about this field.I always wanted to be Doctor but due to some reasons I couldn't be able to do that, so I switched to software engineering. Thanks your video motivates me a lot.
Same situation is me
Same is mine situation. I still like science and always will but I don't know why I'm feeling guilty about leaving med and bio related fields. Is it just me or someone else feels guilty tol for switching from med to CS?
This is an amazing video! You're so authentic. Please don't start being fake like most CZcamsrs!
FOR SURE! I'll do my best!
I just switched from CS to my school's pre-PA program. CS was not for me, but I am happy we can all still make the decision to switch!
Was it hard?
Nice!
I was also debating between pre-pa and CS and right now I'm a freshman in college. What made you want to switch?
dope video and channel man!
thanks so much fam!
Nice presentation my friend 👏
Love the video! Was it easy to switch majors? Dont you need like a really high GPA. Asking cause I'm an incoming highschool senior (Canada) and still deciding what to major in.
Thanks for watching! It was pretty easy I would say. A lot of different Universities have different requirements for changing majors but for my university, you would just need to change your schedule with your counselor in order to switch majors. Obtaining a specific major depends more on the classes that you take. HAHA nope thankfully you don't need a high GPA! AH! Deciding majors is always a tough route and it took me a long time to figure out what I want to major in. For now, I would say definitely do research on the majors that you are thinking about and make a pros and cons chart to see which ones you would rather do and sometimes thats definitely super hard so you can take it slow! You have plenty of time to decide :)
This was a really interesting video overall, but there’s a few key unanswered questions: why did you become interested in CS again (was it all influence from peers)? Why did you decide that investment banking, consulting, and SWE were the only viable career paths? The pro/con lists also seem far too oversimplified (and frankly, vain) for a fulfilling career decision, although the general intent is pretty good. Regardless, it seems like you’re very satisfied with your decision; wishing you the best!
ah gotcha! this was my first video so it was a bit rushed but will definitely talk about the more specifics in a later one/
Can you please tell me any link between Software engineering and Optometry? I’m studying SE but recently had admission is Optometry?
hey umm ,thank u so much for this video ..i want to ask u something i had biology and computer programming while completing my last school years ....i am in last year of school i.e in 12thh grade rn....but my parents wanted me to become a doctor ,so even tho i had no interest i will try my best in that feild but u know what , i absolutely love programing...like i am studying python according to my coarse but it interests me more than anything ...but i think to ger a job or do gain a profession that has computer i had to study maths as my major which i didnt .....so can i still go for computers????pls reply !!!!!
Well done bro i wish i had done the same before
Hey man. Cool video. I have a bsc in biomed and I am thinking of switching to computer science as well. Do you think it is adviceable to do another bachelors or do a master in a field like big data or business analytics?
I would suggest start with bachelors if you can! masters might take too long!
Thank you for your video it was quite useful! I need your advice, I'm currently majoring in international business and trade, and I'm thinking about studying programming on my own, cause I have a lot of free time after classes. But the problem is I am not quite good at math, but interested in programming on the whole, what do you think, does it worth trying?
I think it totally is because you might be really good at coding without being good at math!
i m thinking of dropping out of my medical job because its putting so much pressure on me ,i was unsure if it was right decision or not but now i feel relaxed that i m not only one here
YESS I TOTALLY SUPPORT YOU ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO CHANGE
Great video. I’m wondering what year of undergrad did you switch to computer science. I’m a sophomore right now and thinking about switching from pre-dental to cs
I switched as a sophomore! if you feel that you wanna switch, I would definitely do as much research as you can right now!
I know it's been a while, but would it be possible for you to describe what your internship interview with Nordstrom was like?
I'm a 4th year medical student,and I found out that clinical isn't for me,is it too late to switch to cs?
Why not go into computational biology or medical AI. You can use CS to impact medicine
Hey! Loved your video, especially the pros and cons list! I am a cs major. I really like all my cs class, however, I do not want to work with computers for the rest of my life. So I am thinking about medicine. For medicine, I would love to do the work of a doctor but hate to study chemistry. Basically I love the study of cs but hate the professional life and love the profession of a doctor but hate the study of it. Do you have any advice for me on how to decide my career path? Anything will help...
Hey, me too l'm also thinking about switching from cs to medicine I just get accepted to CS but l don't not feel sure about studying it. it feels more save to study madicine
What have you done did U switch or NOT
@@shosho-wz9kf hey, I decided to do both. I am currently majoring in math and computer science on premed track. This way I get to study cs and still become a doctor
Have you tried shadowing/scribing? You can see the life of a physician/computer scientist. Depending on the field/specialty you land in, certain science subjects aren't seen heavily in the day to day unless you decide to pursue research. As a physician, you will need to do a lot of charting which now adays is all on computer. You will also need to constantly try to update your knowledge to make sure that the care you are giving your patients is up to date. It is a lot of responsibility, but being able to change the lives of the patients in ways that the physician does is unique and hard to replace. The actual schooling is going to be challenging, but if you say you love the work of the physician, you will get several decades of fulfilling work after the 8 years average of schooling.
On the other hand, CS may be easier to get into, but if you say you would not like working purely with computers for the rest of your life, it might be challenging the next 20+ years. I don't have as much experience with CS however, so I can't speak much for it.
TL;DR: Shadow the fields and ask lots of questions. The amount of training required for any field is only a fraction of the experience. Think about actually being in the field for the next 20+ years.
@@nafisaanzum3482 are you sure?
I did the exact same thing... pre-med to computer science LOL. It’s junior year, so I’m a bit behind, but it’s worth it
It's definitely worth it! I'm glad you were able to figure out what you wanted to do before the end of college!
I'm currently a junior (1 credit away from being considered a senior at my school) and I'm in the agonizing process of dropping pre-med and switching to software engineering (my school doesn't have a C.S degree for some reason).
@@Scriabinfan593 is not worth it
@@Scriabinfan593 what did u do at the end idk if i should do med or switch to software engineering
Hi Ray I'm wondering how you told your parents that you weren't going to pursue premed anymore because I'm in a similar situation where I'm living in an Asian household and my parents expect me to become a doctor. But I realized that it's just not for me. I would appreciate it if you would reply.
Hey Zach! I think something that really helped with my parents is that before telling them I don't want to pursue medicine anymore, I found something else that I wanted to pursue and made an effort do find internships and do other things that were related to that field. This gave my parents the comfort knowing that I had a goal and career mindset in mind already and therefore they weren't as angry with me not pursuing medicine anymore. I think you should find that other passion first before telling your parents and it would help a ton!
I work in hospital as a medical lab technologist for almost 10 years. i can say that working in medical field has terrible work life balance. Everyday work and work..You will spend most of your time at work even on weekend you will have to work… thats why i start learning computer science/programming.. im a self study..
I'm also a first year mbbs student and have been through it for almost 6 months but now i am stuck bcz i am not finding it interesting don't know why so much worried it's about my life career but not finding any energy to do it actually what i think i also didn't have any specific ambition of what i wanted to be just my parents wanted me to do this and i also think it as my aim and went through it and in my early years i have been in top students and so passionate to do it but now what i have been through i don't know
I am waiting for my results from bio stream to start a mbbs but i often feel i should switch CS or SWE ,but its not as easy as i think cuz i feel like im taking a risk and also people close to me expects me to do mbbs and its not easy to convince them. Can u pls give some advice
Same here bro
Did swicthing in sophmore year, cause you to have to graduate later?
I am 18 and looking for a major which will be interesting for me, I am stuck between computer science and medicine but probably computer science could be the best, thanks for advises
I’m stuck right now choosing between medicine and CS (data scientist or software engineer)…
Me too😅
Tech in general I think is a good career choice. I’m an Information Security Engineer working fully remote from the comfort of my home (no commute), making 120k and have near full autonomy in my ability to work on things I think are important and make security related decisions. I don’t work more than 40 hrs and get 4 weeks worth of PTO a year.
Wow, that sounds like quite the life. I’m wondering what you majored in, and if that was your intended major in high school?
So cool
A decade into computer science and I want to go medical haha.
why do you think so?
yesssir
You can't. You've already wasted a lot of time.
Honestly I just started my 5th year but detest most of it. There are always forms we have to be filling in, letters to type etc. Soo much stress, people throwing each other under the bus. Sitting indoor all day.
With that amount of computer time, you might as well do CS with less stress/responsibility.
hey! i'm on a pre-pa track but feeling the burnout of chem and bio classes. what grade did you switch into comp sci and is it too late to do it junior year?
its not too late! you might have to take another yr for college tho
did you switch?
did u make the switch?

Hello
Excaulty i am planning to study masters from USA at present I am studying clinical medicine (MBBS) IN CHINA basically I am from India so just i need suggestions from you that which course is better and short duration course for me in masters excaulty i don't want to give USMLE exam and also I am not interested to go in MD/MS further after MBBS because Asian countries MBBS degree is equivalent in USA bachelor of science(BS) so we need go USA and study further more six year's to become residence doctorso so just suggest me other medical and health relative course in which I don't want to give USMLE , MCAT exam for admission !
And if you don't know please for me once ask to your parents what they do when they move from china as doctor to USA ? And what they do in USA ?
I didn't know how to put a inside another but after watching this video, I transformed into a chad programmer making six figures.
HAHAH im dead, teach me the ways man!
Planning to drop out frm med school in India nd wanna switch my career towards btech in cse , i can relate with your journey ,I've wasted a lot of time in med school but i can't continue to study more ABT medicine anymore , 😐 let's see how life goes

Did my MBBS from GMC. I dont enjoy working with my hands or interacting with patients. More interestd in logic and technology
@@supreetsingh6038 are u applying for masters in CS or ur planning to do undergrad again or something like that
I completed high school (12th grade) (pre med) I don't live in the Us so its a matriculation system...so in my country, u directly get into medicine or any other bachelor after 12th...but im stuck between medicine and software engineering...my sister is in her last year of surgical residency and she highly discourages me of getting into medicine...and after seeing all the cons of medicine, im thinking of getting into software engineering but i have no idea how programming or coding works and im not good at math either since i last studied it 3 years ago....does software engineering require math?
What did u choose at the end ?
What did you choosed bro
Hi, thats cool, because i have the exact situation same as you, I wasted 8 years in polymer engineering and have a master in it, but I worked for 7 years in coding after my graduation. but I don't have any prestigious degree in it, now I want to choose a university in Canada and get a master in computer. is it possible? now I am 33. which uni and program suit me?
How did it go?
Omg. Same here. I dropped out from med school to study CS. :)
ayyy welcome to the fam :)
Can you guys pls explain that how can you change from medical college because it requires 11,12 physics chemistry maths for software engineer than did you repeat 11,12 for maths as main subject because I am too confuse between what to choose B/W medical or software
@@Thelaughtershow364 I have a bachelor’s degree in Biochem and actually got into med school. I studied 1 year and then quit it. I don’t think the owner of this channel studied in medschool. He just change the major.
So basically, I finished all the general requirements since I hold a bachelor’s degree. Now, I just need to take prerequisites for CS program and study around 2 more years to get a CS degree. But it depends on how many classes I take so I can actually graduate sooner. So for med school, they need cal 1, cal 2, general phys 1, phys 2, etc. Some schools only need cal 2 for CS or they will ask for cal 3. Then 2 engineering/calculus Phys course. And 2 Foundation CS classes. Again, depend on schools, they have different requirements and extra classes you need to take. You can complete all that prerequisites in 2 semesters/quarters then apply.
@@Jordan_Dossou I was not a transfer student from community college. But can you declare a new major when you got accepted to a 4-year university?

I finished my Bachelor's in Biology but decided to withdraw my seat from Optometry School. Right now I am in the middle of my my Masters in Information System with a concentration in Data and I am loving it.
I manage to score a internship at a Fortune 500 company even with a non related bachelors. Hopefully I transition into a Data Engineer. Wish I did a bachelor in Information System instead of Biology, I could have been working now lol.
What classes did you take as an undergrad to get accepted to masters in info systems? please help i accidentally chose statistics for my major and idk if i should keep it😭
@@antivfxedits7721 Hey so the Masters program right now actually lets me take my Pre reqs while I do my core classes of the Masters Program. But I took pre reqs in Statistics and Databases.
@@CJ-fh5xq Hey ! I too did my Bachelor's in biology ... Can i do masters in information system .. nd what is the pros nd cons for this.. please let me know!
Hi, can you please share the school you’re going to?
@@CJ-fh5xqhi, can you provide your career update? I am emotionally invested in your story.
Hi Ray, I am currently a 2nd year CS student in Ireland. I am planning but unsure whether to go in Medicine after my degree. I mainly am considering the financial aspect I will be missing out on if I attend Medical School for another 4 years. I just wanted ask whether it would be possible to work as a partime developer while attending Medical School??
Absolutely not. Finding a junior position is already hard enough, but a part time one? No dice unless you’re like the luckiest dude on the planet.
NO
Not easy at all. Many med schools in the US make you sign a contract where you’re not allowed to work while in school
as a med student i can tell you that i don't have time to code anymore. i will have to do it after i graduate
nice vid!
thanks man appreciate it!
Currently switching from pre med to bioinformatics and then probably switching back to med once I am financially settled
Hey I have given neet but unable to crack how I can get into bioinformatics pls tell me .?
you did the right choice my friend
Can you guys pls explain that how can you change from medical college because it requires 11,12 physics chemistry maths for software engineer than did you repeat 11,12 for maths as main subject because I am too confuse between what to choose B/W
you might have to take more time in college to take more classes for computer science
Different countries have different rules regarding that...what you are talking about is Indian education system..also if you want to change without repeating 11 and 12 ,go for nios
I’m a junior economics major, what can I do now to work around a computer science career without changing my major
have you thought about getting a minor?
How about becoming a Business analyst? Or you can start learning econometrics+applied statistics+CS then become a data scientist
Hey did you practice in uk or usa?
What kind of skill do you need to do well in cs?I’m a pretty average high school student, no AP or anything.
ah okay! mostly problem solving and technical skills!
Hi i am a 4 th year med student in Turkey we dont have pre med its only for 6 years to be a gp. I am thinking of studying cs undergraduate after i finish med school. There comes the question please answer. Do you think combining these subjects can make a difference and be useful in programing or relating systems or its just uncorrelated and doesn't makes sense? I mean programs about medicine for sure
Hey man! I totally think it can be correlated. There are a lot of programs into bioinformatics and the intersection between medicine and tech that you can definitely look into!
Thanks a lot ! :)
You can definitely program surgical robots
Undergrad cs ile bachelor degree farkı ne burada neyi kast ettin, ben de tıp 4 üm, komple tıp kariyerinden programlama ve mühendisliğie yönelmek istiyordum, hatta senin gibi bir düşüncem vardı bunu bir burs programına da yazmıştım ahahha bu kadar benzerlik şaşırtıcı
@@melitacci Bence 2 sene kalmış bitir okulu ben de öyle yapacağım. Undergraduate demek lisans programı demek B.S. bachelor of science da lisans programı demek yani aynı şeyler . Bioinformatics'de phd düşünebilirsin.
I’m currently in my first year of cs but now want to switch to dentistry
You studied medical also. So tell me that is medical study is difficult or programming?
I'm doing the same thing from a phlebotomy program to i.t. honestly I love tech too much to not make it a career.
What kind of researchers are your parents? Did they go back to school? Did they get a PhD?
so right now I am at that point where I wanna switch to CS from Medicine but my parents don't want me to and I haven't had much contact with it for over seven years lol. i have been researching but need advice. i am from Pak and idk what to do.
I think you definitely can switch but it really depends how much effort you put into learning programming on your own
Yes you can switch easily
@@muhammadtalha2036 where do I start exactly? I mean, to really lay a solid foundation first? (I have been looking into various online courses, though)
hey I am runnig pre-med (microbiology) student. i am planning to do a minor in CS. is it possible to get admission in school for masters in software eng.? i really want to know this answer. does my minor in cs will help me to get in software eng?
The minor in CS won't help as much as a major will but it will definitely help a bit! I think you should be good to go for a masters if you have a strong GPA and express your interest in the career field
@@CodeRay thank you. This answer will help me a lot. ☺️
This is the same deal for me as well but I am currently still deciding as a freshman in high school. My parents called me dumb and so did my friends. They said that I should already know what I want to do. I don't know anything about coding or anything related to it and I have never taken any CS classes. I am currently taking a pre-med related class right now which is Principles of Health Science. Please help.
OMG YES AHH im so sorry you have parents and friends like that! You are definitely still young and as of right now I would highly suggest taking a cs course in college to see if you like it! I switched over in sophomore year and had a whole yr to decide. Can you take a class on cs or other subjects besides pre-med next semester?
@@CodeRay So I am currently a freshman in highschool right now and this is how I think my highschool will go:
9th grade: Principles of Health Science
10th grade: Fundamentals of Comp Sci
11th grade: PreAP Comp Sci
12th grade: AP Comp Sci
I might just skip fundamentals though the teachers didn't recommend that because I do not know how to code or anything like that.
@@CodeRay The thing is I am not the best in math either. I have always wanted to be a doctor and deep down I feel like the only reason I want to do Comp Sci is cause my friends are doing it.
@@daniyalbasra4330 Do want you want to do and not what your friends think but actually see if you like biology because that's what mostly pre med is
@@daniyalbasra4330 did you switch?
Ethan,s for the advice I was great in programming since 12 but I didn’t chose computer science such a foolish
I'm curious, how do you define creativity?
THATS A HARD ONE! HMM to me creativity is having the imagination to develop new perspectives to approach situations and having the power to make them into reality!
Is it impossible to be a med school student and also learn coding and programming skills so you can do something with it in future,, help me in one side I want to be a med student but I don't want to give up learning computer science skills because I believe it's future. So can i enter med school and improve my self in coding and other computer skills? Is it hard,, I always hear others saying that med school won't give you anytime and making both of them is impossible so any advice (iam a high school student)
honestly not very possible unless you want no other hobbies or time to yourself.
Hi i am in11th std in science stream, can any one suggest me which career should i choose medical science or cs?
Have equall intrest in maths as well as in science
Obtained marks in science subject 86/100
In maths 80/100
Plz tell me which career to choose to have high income
And if i choose cs than what i had to excell in cs
Instead of cs u could take engineering cuz u have wide variety . And don't go into medicine for money it takes very long time to settle . It also depends on your learning style people who love math aren't that happy with med cuz it has more memorisation than any other study
When did you switch and did you have to spend an extra year in college
i switched in junior year! and no i didnt!
Hey ! How can you switch carrer .. like in india if you have PCB in your high school you can't switch to CS.. as now i m really intrested in programing , Coding etc. But cant do anything because i m from Bio background !
If anyone have some then suggestion please let me know :)
tell me what did you choose? and you can go for BCA
Same here. Did you find an answer?
@@aashiyanabrohii is BCA is good option I mean I have given neet but unable to crack so I deciding to switch over BCA so for pcb students is it a great decision? Coz I have interest in computer+ will I get great sallery? Pls tell me
@@s.sdongre6130 im currently pursuing bca as a pcb student so it's totally depends on you
My family is also from medical background all my relatives see mee as a dr. but i m interested in BCA my medical entrance exam is on 15 days from now and i m so stressed about that after exam how should i tell them about changing my career I live in india and in india dr. and engineering is only 2 options they give to us
So what have you chosen?
what did you took?
was thinking of switching to cs lately... felt a lot more assertive to my decision now
ahh! I hope this video helped!
I was a pre med major in college. After getting my bachelor’s, I didn’t pursue going to medical school because my gpa was trash and I was jobless. So I went to technical school and became a respiratory therapist. It was the easiest way to at least earn income. I can say I’m glad I made that decision. During covid, I was making more than doctors picking up travel contracts. Now I’m at the point where I really want to work as a software engineer but don’t want to go back to school. Any advice like boot camps or online courses?
Its gonna be years of practice and learn without a degree, the degree is the easiest way, trust me.
Hi, am currently in fourth year of my nursing degree, I started it as pre-med. Can I go for software engineering now?
Do what?
Ig you're from India right?
Go for mba or learn coding specially python
Even through am from India sakta feelings here 😊
hey i am about to go to uni. im thinking medicine vs CS. i think CS would be a boring job sitting on a computer 8 hrs a day; whereas as a doctor i would have more social interaction. any advice?
Doctors also spend a lot of time in front of the computer too. Medical paperwork/insurance is no joke
@@gregstaveee yea thats true. but i watched my family who are doctors. it involves a lot of patient interaction as well. but ur correct there is more paperwork than what most people think.
@@sulemaanfarooq patient interaction can have its pros and cons. Pros: the rare patients who are grateful for your help. Cons: dealing with patients who dont believe your diagnosis, patients manipulating doctors into prescribing them medication they're addicted to, patients with mental disabilities can be hard to work with, coming up with a solution that could improve a patient's life only to find out they are unable to pay for your service, developing a relationship with a patient only to find out they have passed away days after.
You shouldnt be a doctor because you want patient interaction. That's silly because you might be dissapointed. It's not a 'sexy' job as what hollywood portrays it as. Might as well be a nurse or physician assistant. Youll save a lot of time, money and actually have a balanced life.
If youre seriously considering medicine, shadow with doctors outside of your family.
@@gregstaveee hmm yeah actually makes sense. i will look into physician assistants. thanks bro! :))
Sulemaan Farooq yep. Look into all health careers. Wish you the best
What's the difficulty of either compared to the other
medicine is way more difficult
@@CodeRay straight to the point 👏
m physiotherapist trying to switch into it sector. which is best course to learn?
pls suggest
suggest 6 months to 8 months course
does it pays you well I mean the profession which you're in?
I have been a doctor for 5 years now , and I’m thinking about switching to CS now 😅
Why?
Insted of why please tell us how!!!!
could you make a video on "Roadmap to become a software engineer at fang? "
yeah I can! It's going to take some time!
@@CodeRay thank you
@@Selim_Hasan_Raj appreciate it bro!
👌Good Content Bro, I don't regret following your link from IG
THANKS SO MUCH FAM!
Hope your reply may be a help for me i am currently doing cs but i am always thinking to become a doctor i dont know what it is "i am finding cs difficult? Or my so called new passio of being a doctor is calling me
it will definitely get better!
9:30 in Italy 6 years for become a doctor + specialization.
Hey, I wanna switch from computer science to medicine, can that be your next video?
HAHA yo lemme feature you in my next video fam
well u r on tough journey then gud luck
Hahahha
Same! Studied CS in university, now planning to go back for Medicine
Yeah bro! Me too. CS is boring, whereas Medicine is interesting
This is so going to be me soon
What is your educational background?
I'm switching to Computer Science
HAHA lemme know if you have any questions!
Me too man
Just trying to comfort myself from the fear of choosing CS after studying bio for 4 years🙂
I don’t think I’m happy with medicine I’m in my first year and I want to switch but idk what to, CS seemed like a good opportunity but I’m decided and I fear making the wrong choice again
I’ve considered pros and cons but I have seem to have this FOMO for medicine and idk just very lost and SUPER indecisive
just do both for a bit and talk with people in the field! Start shadowing doctors
Do you have any degree in computer science.
GUYS SUGGESTION IS NEEDED HERE !
my brother is a doctor and wants to switch profession as a software programmer. He has learnt python, and DSA. I do not how to guide him. He has already spend much of his time in medicine. But finally he took a strong decision in his life to become software programmer. How do I guide him ? Is there any university course which helps considering his medical background ?
He's a MBBS graduate from India right?
@@deku6901 yes
@@PuneethSrinivas I am preparing for NEET and want to become a doctor but after knowing of the workload and stress doctors face i dont think its worth it. What is he doing now please guide me if doctor is the way to go or not?
@@PuneethSrinivas what is he doing now please help me on this?
@@deku6901 if your passion is to be a doctor go ahead and prepare. But if you do not like the profession I would say not to choose. Because for Doctors dedication is needed. MBBS is 5 years, MD is 3 years.
You switched from pre-med to Computer Science, not from Medicine - two very different things.
He is the real steven
What do u think about studying them both ? I have the opportunity to join College of Veterinary Medicine I also like software engineering field which does not need a certificate to work in and like that i can benefit from the job stability of Veterinary medicine , avoide long years of med school and keep up with techniqal changes in the world by learning programing individually i need your opinion
yess thats a really good idea too! but it may be a bit hard because I know a lot of people on this route tend to be like jack of all trades master of none
❤️
I need the vice versa
