I'm Being Dissuaded Left and Right...

<p>“your punk ass doesn’t even have a job yet.”</p>

<p>Wow, people on this forum can be mean. Hoffman, you are the disrespectful person. azn-premed is still a high school student, and as BDM and many other experienced posters have said, high school students may have many ludicrous ideas about real life. Therefore, I can easily condone any “offenses” azn-premed may have said.</p>

<p>“have your parents brainwashed you into thinking that well at least you’ll have a fallback career that makes good $$ in case medicine doesn’t work out?”<br>
Maybe, he is truly interested in ChemE_ he just doesn’t know (HS student, remember?). Besides, I don’t see what’s bad about having a fall back career. Each person has his or her plan to become successful. </p>

<p>Being ironic may be OK, but your tone turns often into the sarcastic (“might i remind you that your punk ass doesn’t even have a job yet.”). Please learn how to express your ideas constructively instead of hollering at other novice posters.</p>

<p>To BDM:“If you have a passion for biology and chemistry as academic subjects, you should become a professor in one of these subjects”</p>

<p>Why are you saying this? I never heard that loving biology/chemistry as academic subjects is mutually exclusive from being a good doctor and loving medecine.</p>
