Correct. Berkeley doesn't have a medical school. ^_^

This is the death knell for his progaming career imo. I think he's just preparing now which is a lot smarter than dropping progaming (i.e. a salary, streaming revenue) cold turkey. If he plays part time there's a good chance that he'll still earn enough/save enough to make a significant dent in his student loans.

Remember that we're talking about Swedish student loans here he's probably just playing part-time because he enjoys it.

a) stephano ain't doin med school b) pretty sure if he did med school and became a doctor he would not be getting piss drunk and thrown in jail the night before doing a procedure

They still have their Korean lineup, but once JD leaves idk what they are going to do.

Just looked the school up on Wiki, nice place, I'm glad for him.
|
wow wow wow, well, I think he doesn't realize what it takes to go to med school. I really doubt he will have any spare time for SC2, even not in a professional level... so, this may as well be a goodbye for ever...
|
If there's someone who can perform surgery with a spoon, it's Thorzain
|
Is EG starting a hospital organization now? Feeder group for med school?
|
If he's smart enough to be good in sc he's good enough to be in med school.
|
i think this is the best decision thorzain can make for himself. im happy he found his path. and im glad hes not giving up progaming to follow it. best of luck juggling the two of them. it wont be easy but your fans will deffinitely appreciate your dedication to your job as one of the best foreign terrans out there. best of luck <3

Thorzain said that he is gonna study for the next 6 years, but actually he needs to study for 12 years if he wanted to be psychiatric. To become psychiatric, you need to first go through licensiate of medicine and then get the specialization degree which takes another 6 years.
|
Pretty sure this has been said already, but to become a psychiatrist in Sweden: "Swedish High School" with special courses in Science and Mathematics -> -> 5½ years of study at a medical university -> -> 1½ years of internship at a hospital -> -> You got your medical degree! -> -> Another 5 years of working and part-time education and internships to get your specialization degree, for example psychiatrist
Good luck Thorzain and welcome to my town, I'll buy you a beer for beating MC =D
