My own personal experience says it's a week. You may have better odds of getting a job after medical school, I don't know, but it's six years of very hard work, which, even if you think a week is way too optimistic, is still a much bigger investment.

Part of those six years includes paid residency.

It might be a bigger investment, but has a higher median return.

It may be a week for you, but is that indicative of the average experience? It's kind of like how all the silicon valley people on here post their massive salaries as if it was normal. Many of us in other areas don't even have access to those high paying job opportunities. So what's the point of studying for something that isn't even available in that locale.

I would imagine that most people who've done it a couple times will find reviewing the material is much faster than learning it for the first time. I also suspect that many medical professionals do not live in their first choice of location, but if you think medical school is so much more appealing than some interview prep and a possible relocation what are you waiting for? I think the fact I could learn all this stuff for free is a pretty big mark in favor of it over medicine, but everyone's judgments are different, I suppose.

Well I guess I'm just a big piece of shit compared to you.

That's not what I'm trying to say and your profile suggests you're adapting a lot of self-defeating negative attitudes which are probably not helping your situation.

So you're saying that you didn't think that, but now that you saw my profile it's true.

No. What I’m saying is you’re constructing your own shackles in your mind.
