My biology professor has told me that getting a job in a lab can be really difficult, and that most have been hard hit for funding in the past few years. Also, I am interested in teaching at the collegiate level. He has told me that getting a position as a professor can be very difficult, and that many people spend their entire lives working to get into such a position. He has personally recommended that I pursue the M.D., and that I might be able to do research (if I want), but if that opportunity doesn’t exist then I should still be able to work as a physician. Any thoughts on this? Is it possible to do research as an M.D.?
