Will stand up comedy hurt my future as a doctor?
I'm currently attending college. I'm majoring in chemistry and minoring in film studies in hopes of attending medical school to further my studies. The overall dream is to become a doctor, it's what I love. Ever since I was a kid I knew it's what I wanted to do with my life. My other passion is comedy and acting. I have preformed stand up comedy a few times now and can safely say I want to do this for the rest of my life. I don't expect to become for a better lack of a word "famous" but I would love to act in plays or a tv show or something like that. The problem is could it hurt my chances of becoming a doctor. Some might say I have a dirty/foul mouth. I can't help it. I'm honest I guess. I post stuff on the Internet. Could a future employer come across some of my creative work that they would find offensive and not hire me? Could they fire me? Does it hurt my chances? Do I pick one or the other? Any advice? #doctor #actor #comedian
