Yes, I know someone who went into medicine after studying engineering undergrad. Bottom line is, if you know another path that you would rather go down and it will lead to a fulfilling career where you can find a job, go for it! Otherwise, why not stick with engineering and have some options at the end of the road?

I know it is a lot of work but think about how fast high school went by. It will be the same for college, guaranteed! In fact, I can’t even believe that it has been 22 years since I finished Maryland! You may think I’m old but I certainly don’t feel like it! Not yet anyway. All of this to say 3 1/2 years more of hard work is nothing to the number of years you have after UMD!
