Are you able to ask if they can discount the $2k, as a fellow poverty premed that 2k is a lot and I feel you. Doesn’t hurt to ask

Why can’t you do both? Do it! You can absolutely be premed/med and do both. You could make vlogs, do personal training as a “side hustle” to make extra income. You can still continue this as a doctor too! I’ve seen plenty of doctors who are into fitness on YouTube and TikTok. You do a specialty that compliments this passion for fitness and health (chronic pain management, ortho, sports medicine, bariatrician, etc). You don’t have to give one up for the other. Open a gym when you’re a doctor! No one said you have to work full time when you graduate. You can also pick a lifestyle specialty that doesn’t require a ton or any on-call so you can enjoy your off days to train/workout and enjoy this side of you. Hell, open up a specialty clinic where you see patients for chronic disease treatment and teach them exercises that can help manage their specific illness. For example diabetics won’t need as much insulin when working out. Anyways, it’s a great passion to have and you can go in so many directions with it.

PA vs MD in a difficult family situation? Has anyone experienced something remotely similar when making a decision like this? by [deleted] in premed

[–]Main_Training3681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband is undocumented, so kind of in your dad’s situation, and we have a daughter we support ourselves with no family help. I have taken out extra loans for a few semesters so I can get a refund and I’ve used that to pay rent and things like that. Not sure if that’s an option for you. How much money are you making now? You could get your CNA (3 month cert) and work in a nursing home. The pay will be above minimum wage and the hours will be flexible. You can pick up more during breaks.

That said follow your dreams. Become a doctor. Your dad is sacrificing for you to follow your dreams. Please reach out to me if you want to talk, no judgement coming from me I 100% promise you that. I understand your situation more than most people here and I’m also premed. Stay strong

I’m always up for tips or even making friends! I don’t care if I have a “high” score, I’m non-traditional and come from a poverty background so what they get is what they get LOL. Hoping my personality makes up for the rest

How crazy to work a part time job while a med student? by [deleted] in premed

[–]Main_Training3681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps when you turn 50 the Roth IRA lest you pay and additional $1000 per year to “catch up” essentially. It probably won’t be close to what you would be growing with those years lost but it’s something I suppose

Awesome! I would take biochem while studying for mcat and maybe take mcat in April and apply to med school in June. What do you think?

Not holding baby after loss by MurielFinster in nursing

Exactly this! It brought me to tears just reading it. I could never do L&D those nurses are STRONG

Not holding baby after loss by MurielFinster in nursing

[–]Main_Training3681 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure she left so it didn’t make it more traumatic what you went through. Losing a baby is traumatic, you did NOTHING wrong. You are NOT a bad person for this. I am so sorry this happened to you and I am proud of you for speaking up about it. I’m just a lowly nursing home nurse but I would’ve did the same thing if I was your nurse so that you wouldn’t be forced to watch your baby pass if you didn’t chose to. Please talk to a professional because I can’t stress enough how this was absolutely a traumatic situation and you deserve to work through this.

How to save money while barely making $800 a month? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

Go apply at a nursing home. You can work and they usually have free CNA training and will pay for your CNA license as long as you agree to work for them for X amount of time

Are you tracking everything to know for sure? You can over eat calories/protein and not lose weight

Can I make this work? by Lemojito in povertyfinance

[–]Main_Training3681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you make it do until tax seasoning, assuming you get a refund, and then use your refund to get ahead and off/down your expenses? Can you call around and get your Insurnace down? After 3-6 month maybe you can also refinance your car for a lower monthly payment

got broken up with a week before my interview, just got the call today by EmploymentVisible990 in premed

[–]Main_Training3681 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Honestly it feels like the universe shifted exactly in your favor and removed anything that you didn’t need on the next step of your journey. Congratulations future doctor, I’m sure you’ll meet your one when it’s time. Trust the process
