<p>Medicine: some interest ,boring memorization, independence</p>
<p>Law: like reasoning and legality,bad at grammar, some independence if you hit the jackpot on a couple of cases</p>
<p>finance: <3 just not a job in demand with sufficient $$$ from my school, no independence</p>
<p>save $50k go all-in e-mini s&p a couple times = $$, thing is you should trade with money you can lose, doctor can lose $50k no problem specially if i come out of school with no debt, a guy making $50k a YEAR working full time cant do that, a doctor can take a week vacation and trade with big bucks with no worries</p>
<p>I highly doubt you will A)build a platform for finding profitable edges B) have the stamina to do the intensive research needed to be profitable trading while being a doctor. But hey good luck.</p>
<p>You didn't get what I said. Its one thing to have one "profitable" trade setup (being profitable doesn't say anything about edges. You can be profitable without an edge (luck favors you). You have to be profitable if you have an edge and manage your bets well.) Its a completely different thing to build a platform with which to constantly find edges. No edge lasts forever, and neither will yours.</p>
<p>BTW neither does "high probability" mean anything. I am guessing you have yet to actually do a rigorous study of the markets/gamble/bet. Here is a very, very basic problem: Would you consider playing a game where 80% of the time you made 10 dollars but 20% of the time you lost 40 dollars? In the long run, what will be the p/l of such a game? If you answered this properly, then you would know that high probability means nothing. </p>
<p>And I doubt it. If you did have that stamina you wouldn't be considering failing MCATs. Anyone who isn't able to have the discipline to study for MCATs and LSATs will not have the discipline or stamina needed to manage two extremely high stress careers. Successful trading requires a competitive drive which should make you not even THINK about three alternate career paths.</p>
<p>mahras speaks truth. why not choose to excel at 1 rather than picking 3 careers that are all difficult to get into and claim they're legit back-ups like</p>
<p>omg i failed MCATs so I'm gonna become biglaw partner or</p>
