Sincerely speaking you can't join medicine and sug with hustling the two can't just move together..

Everything Na money their textbooks, that 200k won't carry go anywhere.. Dem dey read like craze... I fear who no fear that course.. Out 200 student for my school now currently in 300l but Na only 16 student qualified to 300l...our 500l Na 4student..

Baba..go for computer science.. You will enjoy the course.. Hope say you Sabi maths

I want learn crypto trading bro.. Should I sent a dm?
You're a bastard liar. What is the name of your school? Even UI,Unilag,UNN as competitive as it's,they don't have below 50-100 students writing MB exams. To even disgrace yourself further by saying **out of 200L blabla.. you're currently in 300l and only 16 qualify to 300L** is totally a lie!

200L you're basically doing basic medicals which if you fail, you resit few months later,fail again,you repeat another year otherwise step down. So even if you're zero in reading,if you can conc. after your resit while repeating another year,you'll be move to 300L(MB part1 exams). Reasons you have old guys who suppose to finish 6yrs ago staying until 8yrs not done.. because they had resit to cleared.

For text books,I don't remember buying one,your friends has textbooks,you also sign and get them in the library,so spending huge money here is also totally false. I fact Medical students enjoy most opportunities open in the school. Get your fact right.

Finally, advice for the OP, follow the school trends,and how your other colleagues read,attend lectures, submit assignments and practical,then Read! I repeat Read! No body is king in medicine, you can't know everything, as such you'll always see brains even better than you, but if you're able to get C's, you're good to proceed.

Me and few of my colleagues do part time jobs like UI/UX design, coding and some lesson teachers in one or two places earning atleast 50k-70k monthly,some into content writing, blogging,Forex,and still doing good with studies. The thing is that you give 70% In your studies and 30% others. What you're doing at hand are part of your skills to build your CV and also keep you going. The main one is your professional career you're pursuing. Keep doing both.

Lastly,as one of my Lecturer in Anatomy-Histo class will say after playing Westlife song-"Am flying without wings". School is not for everyone,but if you're opportune to travel out,leave Nigeria please. There're so many opportunities in the USA, Europe,and even South Africa. Goodluck as you fly (coined from the song). He ends and said my topic remains two am done! Reason that (... meaning if you like yourself,go and read materials oo)

But this doesn't stop me checking my Livescore. Lols. To me it's fun just like others enjoy fucking cheap girls, go out to party, watch latest trends etc. If I stake 5k on Chelsea to win........ Arsenal 2.40odds, won't I check my Livescore? I once scream at my gf when she was accessing my phone and be smiling... IF MY TICKET LOST! Be real and not like this guy I quote,you'll see LG- "Life is Good".

I need your advise seriously,i am an under graduate and i am so passionate about furthering my education.

After reading more on the internet i noticed that medicine and surgery is stressful and needs a lot of serious dedication to succeed, from my finding you can be expelled if you fail twice or when you are not able to meet up to the expected standard.i need to be careful because i don't just want to make a wrong decision in my life since am the one sponsoring myself..

I really needs to be sincere,for work i am a cryptocurrency trader ,i don't read chart but have join a v.i.p signal group,i make 50 k Monthly with trading ,i am also learning other digital skill ,i am also an electrician but i don't concentrate so much in that ,i only make small money with it to gather for my basic needs. I have 200 k in my account for a start.. for accommodation i live with my Aunt.

I have free accommodation,food and enough time,

please with all this is it possible to concentrate and succeed if i decide to go for medicine and surgery ? Your advice will be highly appreciated.

You are a thief and liar...
Surgery for appendicitis is an emergency. There's no way on earth your doctor ll delay your Surgery.
It's either you are lying or your case is being managed conservatively without surgical intervention.

Give this guy money at your peril.

You can't combine the two unless if it's a digital business. I'm study the course though as my 2nd degree but I planned for the journey for years before getting the admission. I have four different businesses which gives me money weekly without being there. You need to be in school even when others are not in session. Here is a battle field mostly when preparing for mbbs exams. Just look for a sponsor because you can't combine the course with side hustling. I can't even remember the last day I entered my office. Medicine and surgery no be moi moi.

Are you a genius or of high cerebral capacity?
Do you possess god-like time management skills?
Is your job or source of income flexible like a remote job that can be done in middle of the night?


If the answer to more than one of those questions is No, then my advice is "Do something else, failing out of med student can shatter your soul".

Not saying it's impossible but chances are really low and the odds will be stacked against you. Plus you risk not really knowing your onions and being a terrible doctor. Choice is your at the end.

Focus On One, I Tried Doing So Few Years Back(Engineering And My Work Too) But It Wasn't Easy At All.... If You Dependent, Finish Your School And Start Work, But If You Are Not, Maybe You Should Switch To A Part Time Job, But It's Very Tough!! Talking From Experience..
Re: Can I Combine Studying Medicine, Surgery And Work At The Same Time ? by AreaFada2: 5:38pm On Aug 04, 2021
Simple answer : No.
I don't know where you want to study medicine though. In the places I am familiar with, 70% mark or above in BSc Pharmacology, Microbiology, Immunology, physiology, anatomy and so on is first class degree. In med surg programme 70% in pharmacology, anatomy, immunology, physiology and so on is not even a pass mark yet. Pass mark may be anything from 79% to 92%.

Unless the part time job is in a clinical environment where you can practice clinical skills. If not, don't.

One nurse posted that she is doing both. Yeah, nurses and doctors work in hospitals together but the intensity of both courses, with due respect, are worlds apart.

Having free accommodation, food and enough time is not a guarantee that you will scale through 2nd MBBS exam.

If you earn well,establish yourself and expand your scope. No be all doctor na big man.. You dey hear me so?...Hian.
Or learn a good skill and find way to port from this country. Shikina..

OP @ Itidicious....I'm going to tell you the bitter truth...

YES IT IS POSSIBLE!!!

You see the Whites? Most of them go to school on loans... and they do 2-3 jobs to pay bills....and they succeed.

It's not easy....but it is possible.


This one is bitter lie, when you now want to spoil it, you're comparing a working system to a failed system.


Maybe government will lend him money to complete his education while he works 2-3 jobs.

OP

If you start it, I'm afraid you might not have the resources to conclude it.

Just up your game in what you do and give it all attention.

Reason why we all do what we do is to secure financial stability, if you have that with what you do, there's no need to do another thing.
