There is a lot of different pros and cons, pros, money and helping people, cons, always busy, takes a long time to actually get the job
Agh the tuition for the med school is INSANNEEE I really hope it changes when I'm ready to apply.
Thank you for all of your advice and encouragement
Lawyer who watches medical school oriented videos because I am a heavy user of medical services. Love your comment about med school versus law school. Far better ROI on a medical degree than a law degree. And, in spite of the frequent toxic environment you function in during training, you come out at the end better prepared to practice. Lawyers are just now trying to make a transition to this type of preparatory education. When I went to law school, you weee taught how to think like a lawyer and were expected to learn how to practice law on the job. If you didn’t find a good mentor in your first or second job or locate someone to teach you the ins and outs of practicing, you could potentially have a very difficult time throughout your career. Sad thing is, most lawyers I know, not all but the vast majority of them, hate practicing law. Even successful ones. That doesn’t seem to be true of doctors. I could never have become a doctor. And, though I enjoyed the academic exercise of learning law, I wish I had gone another direction in my education. Best wishes to you as you finish out your education!
Thank you for this comment and perspective!
It's never too late to become a Doctor! I don't see why you can't be both a Lawyer and a Doctor.
Sounds like you need more experience. Well may suggest buying a newspaper. Sell yourself....there is Medical Law ❤
I’m currently debating medicine vs law 😮
May I email you?
Thank you so much for the information, Doc!
Thanks for all the great content Dr. Goodman! I’m inspired by your drive, determination, and compassion. Keep inspiring everyone💯
Thank you Dr.Jake,im learning something from your channel ❤
Thank you Dr. Goodman for making this video! I'm in nursing school but this video still applies to me. I had a breakdown last night to my mom but thankfully I'm getting back into a good headspace. Mental health is SO important!!! Keep making videos like this! You are a huge inspiration to so many.
Thank you Rachel! Keep going !
Bro I love how you're so open and especially with the question about imposter syndrome, because I only know like one other youtuber in the med field who talks about it...maybe others do,...but yeah...YOU ARE AMAZING!! :)
Love your channel it's very informative! Thank you! 👊
I was eagerly waiting for my question to be answered. And at 16:14 it finally came.Thank you so much for answering it.I'll definitely convince them patiently and tell them how passionate I am.And if they ask what inspired me to choose psychiatry I'll let them know that it's you sir.What you do is much appreciated. 💗

Hello Jake!!
I am currently in last semester of my Junior year at high school. At high school I am in the medical class which is anatomy and physiology class. I really wants to become a doctor and that’s my dream. I keep watching your videos and you alway encourage me to accomplish my dream. Thank you so much for your videos!!!!!
I actually failed my driver's test too, because of how nervous I was. but it's all good, bc now I know what to expect!
Enjoyed this!
Such a great video Jake! Thank you for making it and for everything you do Jake! I really look up to you so much and thank you for reminding me to never give up on my dream of becoming a doctor!
Thank you for always supporting me amber ! From day 1!
Hey Dr Jake thanks for the videos man and I'm proud of you for your transparency with mental health I suffer with a fair few of the issues mentally , and it's Refreshing to see a pshychiatric Dr who understands the problems which the patients suffer from, you are amazing never forget that man
Thank you so much Ricky. And thank you for sharing that with me. You are amazing!
Amazing session Dr.Jake.You are ray of hope for all medical professionals.Keep sharing more👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐💐

I just know Jake is a great resident doctor!
Dr Jake you are amazing. Thank you for being an inspiration for me. So there are so many people who always say that i should go for dental and not for a pulmonologist.They think that i have been getting low grades and will get a low grade too in my final medical entrance exam too. Even i had lost hopes too when i came across one of your shorts video on youtube where u had explained is becoming a dr worth it..and i was so inspired by it that i was like if you can do that i too can🤍so thank u so much for saving me from crushing my childhood dream🤗💓 wishing u all the joy in ur life🥰
Proud of you! You can do this!
Thank you!!!
Hey to your channel! I really appreciate your honest content about medicine. I know what I’m going for isnt as “important” as being a doctor, but I hope by becoming a nurse practitioner, ill be able to make a difference. I contemplated med school for a long time, but as someone with a ton of past trauma, I wanted to save my mental health a bit. I really appreciate doctors and everything they put themselves through so they can save others. Your outlook on the importance of mental health is really inspiring.
Hi dear
Thank you for answering my question and a huge thank you for the message at the end of the video! I kinda had a rough day as it's finals season, that motivated me to keep going and realize that it's all worth it once you graduate.
Great video as always! Wish you the best in life
Do you best to enjoy the journey, i know its not easy. you got this!
@@JakeGoodmanMD thank you!
This was so refreshing!!
Thank you Fatima, for always supporting me!
Nice video, I am going for Physician or Surgeon as a Doctor and will work really hard for it!
been following u for awhile bro, keep it up!
toph you are a real one!
18:54 IM SO PROUD OF YOU JAKEEEE! Like all the effort you put in is incredible!
ayyye thank you!
Love the thumbnail🤩
Maybe is just my opinion but I think those stable jobs like doctors and architects couldn't be replaceable by anything today AI will make or coding and design jobs in risk
If it is your passion, then yes, absolutely it is.
Yess!!!
I got an ad for picmonic right before this video hahah
Hello Dr. Goodman. I don't know if you can answer this question. If not, that's okay. I went to the ER yesterday. During check-in the nurse asked me what year it was, who is the Vice President and where I was. I answered the questions and should have asked why they were asking me these things but I did not. However, today it is really bothering me. Is this something new hospitals are doing? They have never done that before. Also, the hospital never had a guard at the entrance before who had to check your purse and bags and make you walk through a metal detector before you checked in. If you can answer this I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Dr Goodman just a thanks from a regular person trying to get through this crazy world! We all have issues, but listening to you , helps us just get help and get on with life...its not so bad!!!
Thank you so much!
Hey I know this didn't get a lot of engagement, but this is exactly the type of video we need. Thanks! Also I'd love if you'd reply but no pressure
Made my day. thank you for saying that. More long form videos to come!
@@JakeGoodmanMD Wow thank you! I first saw your viral stuff on Instagram and CZcams and I'm glad you're finding fun stuff to do online that can help people.
Worth it is dependent on how you define worth 🤷🏻♀️
Becoming a doctor nowadays is becoming harder and harder as compared to decades ago, not just with academics, but cost, lifestyle, competitiveness.
Medical school applicants are becoming more and more competitive, its crazy now that you need a top tier MCAT, great GPA, shadowing, research, volunteering, etc. to even be interviewed.
Aside of the given fact of ~12 years of dedicating your life to medicine, tuition for medical school is hiking upwards of 200k-300k, not to mention cost of living and interest on all those loans. Residency pay has stayed stagnate at around 60k/yr, and is usually minimum wage once you account for the insane hours worked.
Once you finally become an attending you are ruled over by hospital administration and insurance companies, plus attending salaries have become stagnate in recent years. Then if you go the private practice route, you realize its becoming more expensive to do that. On top of still having a quarter million in loans with interest racking up, not many doctors tend to open their own practice, as per the statistics of declining private practices.
Becoming a doctor still may be worth it to a lot of people, but i worry in the future that, that life will soon not be desirable to enough people. This could really hurt healthcare later on.
I have a feeling the question from the highschool student could be me, but I'm not sure. It was worded very nice, and I word things pretty weird hajahah.
Haha maybe!
