Question
hello i have a question concering your education.  it is about how hectic med
school is and such.  how busy are u? what about in college, like if i went into
pre-med, i know its a lot of work, but what was your typical day?  for instance
im 17 yr old high school student, and currently work about 35-40 hrs a week at
my job, go to school, and get about 6 hrs of sleep a night.  is this equivalent
to a pre-med or medical student? im just curious. thank you!!


Answer
Kitty,

School is a full time job.  So if you are working and in schools and getting 6 hours of sleep you should be OK.  However, the complexity of the material is much greater than pre-med.  

You will find that your life will actually be harder after med school when you are in practice and dealing with real life.

Make sure you love medicine before you take the leap.  It can be very rewarding and challenging.

Good Luck
