Question

I think i want to be a doctor but does this mean i'll have a rubbish social life?

Answer 1

No! You can be anything you want to be. It doesn't matter what you do, you can choose to have a thriving social life or you can choose to hole up in your room. And just imagine how many connections you would make with such a great job!

Answer 2

Maybe for a while, but you're young.  Meaning, you've got lots of time.

And when you make what doctors make, who needs a social life?

Answer 3

Yes. Only if you want to bury your heads in the books until the words start to Jump Up at you. Who said you can't study and have fun? Don't be a Procrastinator, and you will have the Best Life.

Answer 4

Yes but if you want to be a doctor enough you won't care, if you do then it isn't for you.

Answer 5

I do know that the first years of becoming a Dr is very hard and I doubt that you would have much of a social life.. I can't imagine why anyone wants to be a Dr anymore... The pay was great for awhile.. Now insurance eats their lunch.. Make 1 mistake and it could ruin your whole career and end someones life.. Maybe talk to some DR's and ask them if they would do it all again , if they had it to do over... ????
