Is it possible to balance coursework and having a job while going through med school?
I’m currently a senior and I’m planning on attending the University of Iowa to major in biology so that I can hopefully one day become an anesthesiologist. One of the biggest questions I have is what should I expect pertaining to the amount of time I will be studying and prepping for exams on a weekly basis? I understand this is a very difficult degree to obtain and certainly graduate school is difficult as well, however I do intend on working during this time to help afford the necessities of college. For those that are currently studying the same degree or have completed this degree, is it possible for me to be able to balance both my coursework (especially during med school) and having a job both simultaneously at the same time? Additionally, with having a job would I have to give up having any semblance of having a social life or interacting with peers outside of just for studying purposes? Please let me know! #Spring25
