For sure surgery. Docs are aces at plugging, closing, and mending.
End goal...
@Pacific_Twist Thank you for your service!
Good shit. I'm glad we're of similar mind to that.
I keep thinking genetics/AI (machine learning) I’m just not sure on the viability of it
I still think about going to school to become a surgeon lol.
my professors offer me to teach me but i was an artist before medicine and i will be one after it
🤙🏼 np I did it to heal and provide care to people defending my country.
Honestly, I suggest starting online courses for free in statistics, probability, linear algebra, python, R, machine learning and then try to solve kaggle problems.
Hmm
@Commanda Knuckel What will your day job be?
doc
@Pacific_Twist As a medic, becoming a surgeon would make the most sense if you really felt like it.
@Commanda Knuckel What kind?
@Pacific_Twist You can try programming and machine learning for free to see if you like it.
Machine learning / genetics will be less building and more analysis, as well.
You'll be gathering data, ingesting it, cleaning it, making models and applying the data to the models and communicating what you find.
Makes sense.
Market-wise; surgeon is obviously best but ML engineer in whatever industry you desire (genetics) is definitely good too. You'll want a BS/MS in Computer Science if you want to be senior level. You could go with just BS but it will be harder to make 250k+ at FAANG type companies.
I expected as much and that’s honestly what I’m looking for. There’s so many applications for AI. 3D printing is getting more advanced with metal printers
@Commanda Knuckel Did you always know you wanted to practice medicine?
my dad being a surgeon i have actual practice and 3 solo operations of joint replacement BUT its no good being the best in whatever if your kid ends up like me being with chronic disease obstructing vision due to neglect
@Pacific_Twist We're at a time in history where there are unlimited options. Looking within yourself to truly find what would make you happy is the tough part. I am struggling with that currently so this topic is great for me lol.
@Commanda Knuckel Oh, do you have a chronic disease?
(#.o)/
Ya haha same. I’m working on figuring it out. It’s not even the money I just want something rewarding.
im the pirate of the lot 😄
plus i have disabled brother who got denied pension and i kind of need some kind of income to feed him
@Pacific_Twist I am still obsessed with money but I am moving more to rewarding work as top priority.
@Commanda Knuckel Wow, I am so sorry. You're a solid brother.
dont be like my dad 😄
he is A BEAST of a surgeon and doctor in general but his 2 boys the one is completely disabled the other is crippled and mentally damaged 😄
I just want to save $40-75k per year and invest it.
remember the important things in life
@Commanda Knuckel True. However, I don't ever plan on having kids. My world is career, health, fun.
money is temporary family is forever (or for a good 100 years)
i intend on adopting
Didn't even realize sandman commented until 5 days later
what he commented
On a vid?
@Happy Humble Hermit Don't provide any context. Keep them guessing 😉
