The individual aims to become a physician and plans to enhance their academic performance, seek guidance from physicians who studied abroad, and manage their time more effectively. They believe gaining more insights into the daily life and job satisfaction of physicians, as well as understanding medical school requirements and the acceptance of international medical degrees, is crucial.
Physicians have rewarding jobs that do something
I'm genuinely interested in. There is a solid path to
becoming a physician and it's also currently in
demand. This job caters to most of the things I want
in a career and it pays well. The only problem is the
time and effort that goes into becoming a physician
but that can't be avoided.
Journalists have jobs that I find really appealing
and cater to most of the things I want in a
job, however, their pay isn't as much as I would
like.
Psychiatrists have an interesting job that is
extremely in demand right now and is said to
be in the future, and I would be good at it
but modern-day psychiatry practices don't align
with my values
Bioethicists from the law path have very
interesting jobs that fascinate me.
However, the path to becoming a bioethicist
(even if you pick law or medicine) is extremely
undefined and therefore difficult to pursue
How will you put
your decision in
action?
I am going to study harder in school, find
more physicians who studied abroad and
find out their take on the job. I am going to
pick more specific courses to my career choice
and start managing my time better.
My decision is physician
Re-examine my plan
My threats are that all this higher education
is extremely expensive and I have severe
medical conditions that often time prevent me from
going to school
My weaknesses are that I'm not very smart
and I have poor time management skills
What are the alternatives?
My values include pursuing higher education,
caring for people, doing meaningful work, and financial
security. With the different occupations I've chosen, I
generally fit all my values into them.
Journalism
Psychiatrist
Bioethicist (law path)
What information
do you need to make
a decision?
More information from a physician and see
their thoughts on their job and would they
recommend it
More information of the process of becoming
a doctor, specifically medical school requirements
and studying abroad and whether different medical
degrees are accepted in different countries
