Actually,I was considering if I should study medicine in the college. We decide our major in freshman year. In Taiwan, med is the most popular major, CS the third popular. I can get both majors, too, but it’s hard. I need to make the decision as fast as I can.(also persuade my parents)
Pros on studying med：
1.If you fail to get a job/ be a professor aborad or get fired in the future（chance：unknown, but may be high）,you can go back Taiwan for doctor, which is more stable（won’t get fired）, altruistic(if you’re a better doctor than average) and easier to ETG than engineers. Good backup plan
2.I can consider pass through USMLE to be a doctor in America and get my green card. Which may be easier to settle down than working as engineer in USA. Then I can start to do EA-aligned careers.
Cons
1.May waste 6 years to learn med if you didn’t work as doctor or medicine-related bioresearch.
2.Its hard to learn medicine and CS
at the same time if I’m not smart enough. I won’t be that skillful in CS.
