I'm going to medical school in the US if you want the perspective of a US citizen...

I study about 8 hours a day, but even then I still have time to do things like hang out with friends and play video games here and there.

But it is important to study every day. In college I could get by cramming the night before a test, if you do that here you probably won't do well unless you're a genius

.

I really enjoy medical school. I will say that I was "persuaded" (read: forced) into it by my parents, so at first I was reluctant about it. But since I've started I've enjoyed it a lot. You learn a lot in a really short span of time and you feel a really strong sense of accomplishment as time goes by.

I do tunnel construction in NYC (Sandhogs) will probably go back to school part time a few credits per semester after I pay off my loans I had to take out. Mom declared bankruptcy and I couldn't get enough money from federal loans to pay tuition so dropped out. I'll get my degree eventually (economics) but no rush as I make more money here than I ever will in an office but the physical labor takes its toll.

I'm 22 years old and i'm currently studying to get my mining engineering title. It's a great area within of the whole field of engineering.

My main desire is to work in Australia or Canada. These countries have a great potential in relation to mining.

You could try studying some area about economics/engineering... thrilling area. Gl in your decision.

Working as a laywer 10-12 hours each day, love my work. Law is for me what SC2 is for some of you. I am just a spectator here. Used to be a gamer though and still am one in my heart.

I run a small business in the home health care field, primarily dealing in mobility devices like walkers, wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, etc. but also doing installations of things like porch lifts, stair lifts, grab bars or railings, handicap-accessible bathrooms, and so on. It's basically a retail job that also has me dabbling in mechanics. It's interesting and you meet lots of different people and it's something new every day.

Jealous.

On topic, I'm currently in my last year of high school and will probably do something involving the police when I'm done.

I'm still in Highschool but I want to do something that is fun or interesting. Something that can motivate me to get up everyday and go to work.

Any suggestions? lol.. kind of a dumb question but yeah. ;;

I am a Training & Development professional by day and work as an online University Professor at night. Though the pay is not incredible, even with 4 degrees, I love my job as it is very fun, interactive, and I maintain low stress levels. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions that I can assist with!

Wait until you finish residency =) I'm an ER attending and there's nothing like unwinding from an overnight shift by watching GSL and tastosis.

I am a system developer for now and I will definitely stay in the IT business but not necessary as a developer. In sweden it's basically always good pay, good and flexible hours, a flat rate phone, and at least a decent laptop (I got a beasy one).

Work is fun and I really like it.

I'm just a second year undergrad university student right now in nuclear and radiological engineering (but I intend on working on the nuclear side, not going into medical physics/radiology).

Beyond that I have no fucking idea what I *really* want to do. I want to go to grad school for plasma physics/fusion work, rather than work in the power industry immediately, but I don't know how to "get a job" related to those principles. I guess my ideal goal would be to go to a national lab. Essentially I kind of want to do work on gen IV reactor designs (i.e. not yet implemented) or fusion rather than work in the immediate power industry.
