How do you earn money while being in med school?
I am a senior in hs, and will be pursuing a biology bs/ pre med degree in college and after that want to get into a good med school, but since med school is quite expensive and I will certainly have to take student loans, how do i earn any good money in med school? For most other majors, you can do jobs after your undergraduate degree and get a better job if you get a master’s degree, which is usually completed in a maximum 6 years, but for med school i will be unemployed for a whopping 8 years! How do i earn money in that time to take care of my finances??

How can I become a teacher and doctor?
Is there a way I can become a teacher but also be a DO(Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine)?

Hi! For all those New Zealanders out there that can help, I am planning on doing Health Science First Year in Otago next year and I have taken all the recommendations but L3 Physics. Last year I did not take L2 Physics so I am in year 13 and taking L2 Physics this year.
