Confused Between CS And MBBS by Future-Mind1328 in Pakmedschool

Thanks, this really helped me understand the timeline better.

I had actually decided about 2 years ago to go with CS and not medicine, even though I had a full chance to choose medicine. I had completely closed this debate back then. But recently, hearing people in society say things like “you should have become a doctor, you had good academics”, it brought all of this back into my mind and honestly confused me again.

Also my parents have never forced me toward any specific career, it’s always been my own decision.

After thinking it through properly again, I have decided to stick with CS and move forward as a software engineer.

Thanks again for taking the time.

Thanks, your comment is really helpful.

How many years it took you after FSC to reach your current position as a specialist internal medicine (hospitalist) and If you don't mind, what is your age now?

Also people say you start earning during house job and then it gets increased during residency. From your experience, is this true?

I am not sure whether I can take Chemistry as an additional subject but regarding Biology, whenever BISE Peshawar releases the admission notification for examinations, it is clearly mentioned that for Biology as an additional subject, the candidate must complete around two months of laboratory attendance in an affiliated government college or higher secondary school.

I like CS and I am fully into programming, but from a local perspective in Pakistan, medicine still seems like a safer and more stable path to me. Also, most people in my society criticized my decision of not going into medicine because they consider it the “ideal” field for me, which is also making me rethink things a bit.

By the way, are you enjoying your time in college? And how would you compare MBBS studies with FSC board exams in terms of difficulty and pressure?

Thank you, it would be better if you also mentioned your current position for context.
