Hello, wanting to get into med school as a person who has 0 background in biology, have a degree in completely unrelated field.

For context, I am planning on doing DIY post bacc, going to a 4 year institution to take classes to be hopefully be a stronger candidate. I have hospital volunteer work ahead of me, now don’t know what else to do. Currently working a 9-5 and it’s a bit stressful balancing everything.

How did career changers go about their journey to get into med school? I’m a bit overwhelmed with this journey and don’t know what the best path forward is.

Thank you all for your help!

Specifically jobs like being a scribe or being a medical assistant, and basically pursuing your post bacc and extracarriculers fulltime? I'm currently a career changer, and doing my diy post bacc while juggling a fulltime job.

Genuinely considering this path, as I still get paid doing those small gigs and can also use that time to ensure I can get accepted at some med school (hopefully). Thoughts? And is this stupid? I dont have kids or partner, and I am lucky enough I can move back in with family.

Kind of see a lot of posts of doctors saying they regret not going into tech, but as someone in big tech its not as good as people say it is. I think tech is overhyped, and anyone can be laid off in a quick second, there ageism (all of the staff engineers either got laid off cuz they were old and too expensive or they were all encouraged to "voluntarily retire"), and all the work you do is to just be promoted and for visibility. Job security is a myth (in tech atleast), as since the field is so oversaturated they can replace you in an instant. AI is making the curve on standing out even harder, and also work sucks now because AI is doing everything for you, you don't really learn anything new. WFH is not as glamorous as it seems, and most companies are implementing back into office.

Anyways, anyone here bit the bullet and decided to become a doctor instead?

So currently a non-trad premed, I currently work at as a SWE and considering becoming a physician.

Right now, the most logical option would be the take night courses while I work at a CC to save money, but I was considering if I decide to full send I would go to a post bacc.

I have seen a lot of suggestions about a post bacc and community college, so does going to a post bacc vs community college affect the med school you get accepted into?

It’s been 4 days post OP, hitting 5 days. It’s 12AM, my fat ass drove to the grocery to pick up pasta roni. I boiled those noodles to hell, and tried my best to eat them. The most depressing part is I was only able to eat 1/4 of what I made and I had to swallow all my noodles.

This is so painful. When will I be able to go back to my big back activities 😭😭😭😭

I remember I was waiting at a train station after long day of walking (20k steps), and my thighs were killing me. I waited in line and just squatted so I could give my legs a quick rest, given there were no seats nearby.

An old man begins to just stare at me, with a bad expression and I he doesn’t look away. I stare back at him but he doesn’t care and is still staring at with me like the judgmental look on his face (I’m Asian, so idk if he think I’m a Chinese tourist).

Anyways, just curious if squatting is frowned upon in public?

I know this is a weird question, but I haven’t seen many vegans who have thick Lucious hair. I will say Babette Davis, she looks awesome and has thick hair!

Anecdotally, when I was vegan (6months) my hair was really thin and falling out like crazy (I was eating really healthy, no processed foods, WFPB). I was so confused, as i thought my WFPB diet would actually increase my hair volume. Unfortunately, when I started to incorporate eggs and fish back into my diet, I re gained my natural cheek rosey-ness and my hair is now thick and shiny.

I remember during my vegan time, I was feverishly Googling and searching tiktok for vegan influencers who had thick hair, and sadly most of them had pretty sparse or dull hair. I was genuinely freaking out, I increased my fat, protein, intake. Took algae oils, but my hair kept falling at a crazy rate. I knew it was diet and I was clearly lacking in some sort of nutrient given eggs and fish restores my hair and gave me back my glow.

Anyways, I only ask cause I do want to go back one day. But I do have a huge fear now, given the insane amount of hair loss I experience t_t

I know this is niche, but I don’t know where to post this.

I always have my window open, and for the last couple days I’ve been hearing this mean just SCREAMING. I can’t tell if the person is mentally ill or it’s just a bunch of dudes hanging out. But this has been going on for awhile now, and just curious if anyone knows what the hell is going on.

ALSO, if you don’t know what happening but also hear the screaming let me know! I don’t want to feel like I’m crazy.

Update: just heard him scream “i hate you, I hate you,” probably gonna lean towards mental illness rather than a bunch of dudes hanging out

Curious of any ladies here said “f it”, left 9-5, and never looked back?

Whats your story?

I know this is a weird title, but I’ve noticed today there was a ton of white stuff floating around? Were they dandelion seeds?

Got a Corolla hybrid 2021.

Just called eastside automotive and they quoted me 111$ 💀

Please tell me oil changes are cheap here. Back in VA I would get them for 60$

Anyone know any good cheap places?
