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??

I have been set on majoring in Biomedical Engineering under a pre-med track for a few years and I was wondering how difficult it is to switch majors within an engineering department of a college throughout the four years of my undergraduate degree?
I am not quite sure if biomedical engineering will be the best fit for me and I won't know this until I try it out in college and I am worried that I will not be able to switch majors easily. I also want to study under a pre-medicine track which might make it more difficult to switch majors. No college seems to be able to tell me how difficult it would be to switch majors under a pre-med track so it makes me slightly worried. I was wondering if anyone had advice for that. #college #engineering #medicine #pre-med
