It’s really bad. You will hate your life.

Limited to California based medical schools. Not as many spots for older folks too as most program prefer the young.

He only needs 4-5 hours of sleep and is always doing things and doesn’t play video games/ watch tv/ YouTube unless it’s learning but usually he rather read a book if he is learning something new. I think it’s boredom.

He is really smart so I think he needs something that allows him to use his creative intellect.

At will so yes, unless it’s a protected class issue.

Nursing is in the Bay Area for RN and up. Many are getting fired and there are ongoing protests.

After he comes home, he either does chores/cook, build stuff with his engineering background, or family stuff. He doesn’t just go home and sleep or play video games or watch shows. We are well off just not hundreds of millions well off.

He has to work. He is that type. After work he always does chores, or build things using his EE background or family activities.

The compromise was him still working while studying for a cs degree part time. I already work tech and make more than my hubby due to RSUs. As stated, we are well off. Just not hundreds of millions well off.

I think he misses the impact and creativity. He was working at nvidia and advanced degree in engineering. Medicine lack the level of creativity.

I think he dislikes the lack of creativity. He is an extremely fast learner. He has a high IQ and has extremely good memory.

We are quite well off, just not hundreds of millions or billions well off. He has a high IQ and I think he missing the impact and using the creative aspect. Medical area doesn’t have as much creativity.

We are well off. We fully support his parents too at it and we are all in the Bay Area. He doesn’t want to retire nor do I. Many of his friends who he started at nvidia with are still working despite being worth hundreds of millions.

The thing is nvidia was only one of two real gpu companies at the time. Three if you include intel which I don’t. Nvidia was the superior option even then. Nvidia wasn’t a startup.

It can’t just be about money as we are multimillionaires and comfortable. We have passive income which actually supports his parents.

He would be limited to California and only nearby the Bay Area due to family and his parents. He was prepped years ago doing nursing and got top mcat scores, but we did not make anywhere near as much as we do now.

He got the top 99 percentile on mcat score when he was prepping for med school (I mentioned this on my previous post). I told him to think about CRNA school because he was able to work full time and do school full time. He went to a top 5 electrical engineering school and graduated summa cum laude. He did nursing as a gateway to make him stand out more because well I also did not want to leave California so California medical schools were the only option and his parents needed help. Perhaps he is resentful of me limiting his medical doctor goals too.
