<p>Alright I'm a little perturbed, because I wrote this well thought out post about an hour ago, but I realize now that my internet went out so now I have to retype everything. So this will be a little shorter than the last one.</p>
<p>First off a quick summary is that I want to go to med-school to become a surgeon, but I now know that I can choose any undergraduate major. So now I am confused as to what I want to do with that. I am incredibly interested in anything business (I know that I still need a few mandatory classes for med school) </p>
<p>So my question is of the three business majors I am familiar with, which is the best? I know of the top 1% I have noticed a trend that Accounting, Finance, and Economics are up there a lot. So of all three there are some factors that I want to consider: their stability by themselves (if for some reason I couldn't get in to med school then how well I could do on the degree alone), it's benefit in the health field, and its advantages in the business world (help with taxes or other stuff)</p>
<p>After I finish residency I want to open my own practice, so a degree that could help me with my own business would be nice so that I don't have to hire someone to help me with that. </p>
<p>I know this might be rushed and short, my first draft was like 2 pages long. I'm finishing this one in the middle of a class...</p>
<p>I was in a situation similar to you a while ago. I was not set on med school, but sorta wanted to, but also wanted to do accounting. After a lot of thinking and research, as well as outside advice from more experienced people, I decided it wasnt a good idea to try to do two difficult things at once. Any of these three majors, as well as the required med school admission classes, require a lot of attention and studying. Taking Organic Chemistry and Anatomy along with Cost Accounting and Taxation of Entities didnt seem like a good idea in the least. I decided I’d rather do accounting than go to med school.</p>
<p>If you want to go to med school, and really know thats what you want to do, you will be much better off focusing entirely on that with a science degree such as chem/bio. It will be a lot more manageable than doing two very demanding fields. If you dont want to do a science major, choose something easier than accounting/finance/econ. If you really feel you want the business skills, you can take a few entrepreneurial electives or something, I dont think the full on business major is necessary.</p>
<p>Alright well then that is an additional factor I want to consider, but I’m pretty determined to major in business and go to Med School. I loveee business and I loveee Health. I’m already going to be sacrificing 12-15 years of my life they might as well be hard in the beginning.</p>
