My brother who goes to Stanford is doing Math and CS, almost all of my Polish friends want to study CS (7-10), all of the IT people at my high school were Polish, and when you look at most credits in video games right now, many of them have lots of Polish guys...

Chicagoland area... i should have clarified: I want to do surgery, maybe orthopaedic surgery or thoracic surgery, or maybe anesthesiology.

Orthopaedic and thoracic surgeons have starting salaries around $300,000 a year, depending on how much you work (hours per week).

Anesthesiologists make around $300,000 at the peak of their careers, while surgeons make upwards of $350,000-$400,000 at the peaks of their careers (who would want to do that when you have no spare time for family, etc.).

You'd be surprised how much stuff like that actually happens. I did a DUI
stop once and the driver pulls over and then climbs into the passenger seat, buckles himself in, and fakes like he was asleep. The guy tried to convince me it wasn't him who was driving, that he'd been in the passenger seat the whole time. Needless to say, he didn't have to worry about driving anywhere else that night as I provided his transportation for the remainder of the evening.

They must have been residents. They average around 50,000 - 60,000 a year. Not bad seeing that you're still learning learning and all from the "attending". You get big money when you've done your stint at the hospital. The "attending" doctors make 300,000 and up a year. Spending 1-2 hours to do your rounds at the hospital and go back to your clinic for the rest of the day.

...no, I really mean that, stop laughing I'm serious...if you're going to be like that I'll have to go to 'PR mode'...look, I've got the glove out...that's better...

...and because the US won't recognise any medical degree other than their own (wouldn't want to work there anyway), I won't earn that much. But then I get to help everyone, not just the rich and breastless :D

the United States medical system is the best in the world. if you want to take part in this wonderful system, you have to be trained in the wonderful system.


what do want to do for graduate med school?

[Sabre]

Well I think that despite a few more pounds on the average weight, American physiology doesn't differ drastically from the British. It's a bit ridiculous that a UK-trained doctor has to go through all that crap to be allowed to practice in the US. All that is really needed is an adapter course to get used to the US system/drug names etc.

that's true, there should be adapter courses, but who is going to teach those courses? medical schools rarely accept transfers from other U.S. medical schools, so they would not be the base of education for foreign M.D.s.

[Sabre]

The US really needs to have an accreditation programme for foreign medschools, or just trust that if the NHS will let a doctor work for them then they're good enough for the non-existant national system in the US. ;)

yes, the US needs an accredidation program. For instance, my mother had a masters degree in Poland but when she came to the US, the equivalent was only a double-bachelor degree. :(


non-existant national system in the US?

what does that mean? The US does not have socialized medicine.

[Sabre]

It tends to be that way.

I think the only reason for not doing it is that the US want's to encourage it's own medical schools to keep providing the doctors it needs by turning away foreigners.

Dont get too excited yet fellas. Being a senior is awesome, but now that im out i miss school life. Not the work just the friends and slacking off.
Anyways right now im on a year off. I had a job in the summer at a factory while visiting BC but when i came back to NYC i didnt bother getting a job since im leaving to go back to Canada in the summer osmetime. DOnt know when.
ANyways im going back and am going to attend Algonquin college in Ottawa and take a police foundations course while being in the reserves at the same time. The course lasts two years and i am joining the regular force after that. In the future i am thinking of the personal protection business or joining the RCMP. Either way i never want to sit down at a desk.

[carpandean]

permanent student until age 33. :|

I hear that - I'm going to be a professional student until I'm 32 (about 3 more years). Got my BS in mechanical engineering, tried the engineering thing for a while, got bored and decided to go back to get my MBA. After two years to finish that, I decided that was too easy, but that I like the school thing so much, I signed on for four more years. I'm in the middle of my first year in the PhD program. It's a cushy life - we have the highest fellowships in the country (though, that isn’t saying much), the hours are flexible (you can choose which 22 hours in each day you work) and we don't have to dress up or even go to school all that much. Of course, there's lots of reading and discussing of research papers, very difficult course work and being used by Professors as their workhorses. It's cool though – we typically make $120 - $180K starting after graduation.



Speaking of college.... how hard is it to get a doctorate?

It all depends on the field and school. You have to be very good in your field, but also very dedicated to figuring things out - do you like hard puzzles without the box top to look at to see what the solution looks like? You'll probably have to take the GRE's (or what ever test your field requires) and get in the high 90's percentile. Other than that, do your research on the schools, their programs and the typical life of their students. It's a big commitment of time and effort, so a good match is essential.

Not sure. I have a 3 year IRR contract with the unit. I don't get any of the bonuses but the unit was over TO for 1371s so it was the only way i could get in. I get to keep my time in service but lost all my time in grade. A "new" Corporal at 32, i'm older than some of the the SNCOs at the unit.

[HollywoodMarine]

Why should the government give you anything? Well, they'll give anyone that doesn't speak English a handout and pay for their schooling so I was under the impression that I, an actual citizen and contributing member or the United States, might be able to reap some of those same benefits.
