<p>Med schools aren’t really keen to accept students if their goal is to make a lot of money. If you aim towards Dermatology, you better have a good reason for that choice, rather than saying “it’s a field where you can make a lot of money”. </p>
<p>That concept is very naive, and here’s one reason why: it’s a very long time indeed before you start to see the big bucks rolling in. My guess is that you’d have to work like crazy to obtain a 4.0 in the next 4 semesters. But, does that include all the pre-med requirements?</p>
<p>I’m thinking you’d have to continue in a post-bac program to complete those requiresments AND boost your gpa. (That’s 2 UG + 2 post-bac.) Then you’d have 4 years of med school + residency + 2-4 internship. Plus ~2-3 years in a specialty. We’re talking 14 years from now. </p>
<p>And about those cut-classes you missed in your freshman year? That just doesn’t cut it now. So if you’re serious, that goal might be obtainable, but it will take a huge commitment of time, energy, focus, money, and yes, smarts. Are you ready?</p>
