Before I lost my mind I thought I could go pretty far with a degree. I think I can become a doctor but I’m just delusional. When I was in the Navy I did a career assessment I basically thought I was going to be a doctor or do something grandiose. It’s 7 years later and now I would be a liability at a grocery store.
Can’t do anything now
I think I have the booksmarts to be a doctor, but I wouldn’t be able to handle the stress.
I’ve done a lot of jobs. The last one before going full time writer in 2005 was a CNA. I did so.e nursing school and wanted to be a Nurse Practitioner.
I wouldn’t want to be a medical doctor, but I was going for my master’s in speech-language pathology, and I was planning on getting a doctorate in that field. I dropped out when I was offered my current job, because it didn’t make sense to spend all that money and three more years in school when I already had a perfectly good and stable job.
I miss learning lots of things in school, but I feel more fulfilled in my current job. I am making less than I would if I got my doctorate, but I think I’m helping more people. The world already has loads of SLPs, but there are barely any mental health advocates who don’t shy away from psychosis.
I still wanna be a psychiatrist. Atm it seems impossible at the rate I’m going, but I used to be a really good student, I think it’s definitely possible
I wouldn’t want the responsibility of being a doctor
I settle for an easier job
I lack sense of reality, my mind can create whatever other things
Man, I have trouble being a patient. Can’t imagine trying to be a doc.
I was aiming to become a doctor or physicians assistant or pharmacist or something with an undergraduate degree in biology but schizophrenia ruined that for me. I think I was smart enough but without Meds it was impossible to get good grades while hearing voices screaming at me constantly
I couldn’t with this illness. If I did not have this illness and I worked hard enough I might but it is still hard to get into medical school even with the grades
I’ve been there, literally. I couldn’t be a doctor, or a paramedic, because I have such bad manual dexterity. The clumsiness of my hands prevents me from getting any job in the medical field.
I’d go for general practice if anything. I couldn’t cope with the more critical care. I’d be afraid of harming somebody.
No desire to do that. I have an MBA and would consider getting a PhD in business but I have no ambition to practice medicine.
when I started college my dad (a doctor) told me I could have the corvette, sorority girls and all my college paid for if I be a doctor…I told him I had just witnessed what dad had to do to become a doctor and I told him there’s no way I could be a doctor…besides I wanted to be an architect. had to put myself through college then…my dad is a ■■■■.
If I didn’t have this disorder I probably would be a doctor.
I wouldn’t be able to do it now.
I Know this road to long, you be better off being a animal MD with two years of schooling and make almost as much, with less
I’d prefer to be a corporate lawyer or something super lucrative if I was well. I always wanted to be a big shot or something. In all seriousness, I probably would’ve gone for a degree in philosophy, or at the very least minor in it.
Haha. I started the weed out classes but needless to say i was weeded out. I guess the odds and the g-ds decided i should be a number cruncher.
No chance. Price of meds and neu happiness for me is I’m a lot slower mentally. I’m not complaining. Constantly having racing thoughts was totally exhausting but I had some manic energy then!
Even if I could. Wouldn’t want the stress!
