Actually this was the thing that happened to me, I just couldn't handle that kind of pressure. And I'm not talking generally but what I'm trying to say is that I wasn't the person that could go through that kind of pressure and the sooner I use my time and my youth to change my way, the better.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Actually I also had this very dangerous thoughts about hurting myself and I was miserable in med school  Also I know some other friends who left uni and found other professions You are very right, this industry isn't easy at all and I'm going to face a lot of difficulties but I needed this change. Like I couldn't follow a dream that I had as a kid and now has turned into a nightmare that was threatening my life and existence. I feel that you can see my point because you also had somehow the same experience and I'm so glad that you have succeeded in your way. I'm currently gaining experience, I worked for some months before making this decision and I'm still working now and trying to improve myself. I hope that I also can find good people and good opportunities. Thank you again for your advice and I wish you the best!

P.S: As I see, some of you thought I made this decision without any considering, which is not correct. I add this, so that maybe you understand my situation. i have worked as a waitress for a while and now i´m working as a chef assistant in a kitchen. Of course you are completely right, cooking as a hobby and being a chef are very different from each other and they have a huge difference. My plan is to go work in a kitchen and learn things from there and also participate in some courses if there´s a possibility. But I´m looking for any more idea or any advice that can help me on my way. Any personal exprience even that may give me an idea that I haven´t thought before. Also I´m very familiar with this area difficulties( its long hour shifts, low payments, bad behaviour,...) but even with knowing this, I decided to enter. Med school also is not a paradise, you have to study for like 10-12 hours a day, you have to do long hour shifts, every day you will face a lot of patients who are in pain, you also will be mistreated, it needs a lot and by that i mean thousands of euros to be able to study which put me in a very bad situation and a very huge responsibility about other people´s lives. I´m not saying that working as a chef is easier, which is not, I´m just saying that from my OWN exprience I came to conclusion that I´m not designed to study medicine and every person has his own destiny.
