As an incoming freshman in college, should I be worried about the current political climate we are in? More specifically is it an attainable goal to get out of med school with minimal debt, a strong 401k, and be able to thrive?

Hi Aliyah,
Honestly, anybody should be worried about the current political climate. But in the meantime, you still need to get an education and do something with your life.
Medicine is a solid choice. No matter what is going on, people will always get sick. It's an expensive education, but nobody can take an education away from you, while savings and property can go down the drain rather quickly. The freedom and mobility that comes with a medical degree is definitely worth it. It's a long education, but you'll earn a bachelors on the way that you can fall back on if necessary.
I hope this helps - a bit! I am sorry that you have to deal with this at such a young age. All the best to you! You'll be ok.
