KPMG3 Yes, I am. For the money, it would be a foolish decision - opportunity cost from lost wages, promotions, etc. are high. I’m doing it for a few personal reasons, money will come and go. I need to finish up pre-reqs and take my MCAT. I don’t feel like any job is beneath me so I don’t have a problem quitting and taking a part-time job making like $20/hr while being a student. And acceptance to med school is also extremely low, but hey, gotta risk it to get the biscuit 🤷‍♂️
