Hey! Do you agree or disagree with my points? I'd like to know :) also, I finally uploaded for the first time in a month haha hopefully the algos don't screw me over so smash the like button to help me with that!
Interesting video, Martin! I think there is this idea that we have to have our life plan figured out by age 18, but it's a bit non-sensical. Most people haven't experienced much at age 18, and how in the world can you know if you would enjoy a career if you haven't tried it. This is a common experience among pre-meds, where they may not enjoy the process of getting into medical school but expect that they would love practicing medicine
"it's a bit non-sensical" --- this is true... "what do you want to do when you get older?" kinda gets to you at some point haha! I do agree that there's no way to know if I'd enjoy the career path, but I think I have found something else that gives me purpose right now, so I'm putting this path on hold for now. Thanks for watching man!
felt this. not enough ppl talk about the feeling of falling behind, the shame associated with it. "premeds" love racing, gets too much sometimes. its ok to take it a step a time, even half a step at a time.
you're definitely not following behind tho, the only reason a lot of us have started studying for the big exams is because: 1. we know where we want to go 2. we have no idea where we want to go but are doing it cuz others are giving yourself time to know what you really want to do is WISE + starting your next academic/professional journey a year or 2 later is negligible in the long run so props to u for recognizing that!
Are you thinking of switching majors maybe? Also if you don't want to continue further education after this, what job options are there for only a Bachelors in science? My friend is considering a similar path but I noticed she was very burnt out this year (gr12) and I want to support her to the best of my ability
If I'm being honest, I don't think I'm going to switch majors (or even want to get a bachelor's in science, so idk if you'd want to take advice from me LOL) I'm not looking for a traditional job, sorry

You should write the MCAT, in case you don’t do well you have another summer to re do it
