Pre-Med: Job or Volunteer

<p>Is it better to get a medically-related job during pre-med years or volunteer. A job might have more responsibility involved but volunteering might perhaps be less selfish. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>I'd go for the volunteer job, but I guess you should pick whichever you prefer more. Medically-related experience is definetly important, but certain volunterring positions also show character. Maybe you can do both, eventually?</p>

<p>yea im doing both this coming summer...im hoping to volunteer in a research hospita and work in another and then continue the volunteer during school....the following summer i hope to research at the hospital i volunteered for and possibly get paid.</p>
