Rich by becoming a doctor? Forget about it.

I just want to share my personal experience... when i was 17, i read 'rich dad poor dad' by Robert Kiyosaki... he focuses on shifting our quadrance to business and investment to reach financial independence. He also said that telling our children to study hard and get good jobs will not be a good advice anymore if their aim is to become rich. I always kept This point in my mind


10 years later I end up becoming a professional.. and to be sincere to you guys i actually believe what he said 100%! so why did i still choose to become a professional who depends on a monthly wages?

Choosing to become a doctor needs a lot of sacrifice. You need to get a very good result during your secondary school exam in order to qualify for medical school. That means you have to study hard, sacrifice a lot of time, able to control you emotions and maintain your health and even your IQ! (if you have high IQ to begin with).

Talking about secondary school, i still remember my old days at school. During that time i always felt that my IQ was not as good as my friends. i had the most difficult time trying to remember all the facts from the books.

So i did some research on how to improve our memory. i also read some books on diet control and activity for brain growth. i stop eating junk food, burgers and even ketchup, and start eating fresh food only...did it help? im not sure.. but i manage to improve my grades! Oh I forgot to include Maggie in my not to eat list.

here are some points that i can share with you guys.
1. everyday when you wake up, after subuh prayer (if you are muslim) dont ever think of sleeping back...
2. eat healthy food-no junk food
3. stop playing with your emotions... love, teenage problems... etc... FOCUS!
4. dont sleep after asar prayer
5. eat 'kismis' every day
6. clean your heart (no dengki2, no carut2)
7. follow what god ask you to do
8. get enough sleep
9. HAVE FUN-you really need that to maintain reading book for hours.

Now... if you manage to enter medical school... congratulations.. you just manage to make your life even more miserable! medical school translates into 24 hours of non stop studying! i dont want to go elaborate more on that.. hehehe..

after graduation.. you might thought that your life will be much better. let me tell you this.. YOU ARE WRONG.. people assume that you get high pay, high respect and a very good life... let me tell you. THEY ARE WRONG.... hospital will be your first home.. if you are married, you will see other people's wife longer than your own wife... your child will start forgetting about you.. even worse.. you will be oncall..(which translate to about <rm10 per hour-if you are housemen, your per hour pay for oncall during weekends will be as much as per hour pay if you work in mc donalds-without free big mac.

your highest pay for a junior doctor/housemen will be around 5k. (working every day plus not sleeping for 10-15 days/month).

Well.. undeniably the salary is higher than most other profession. (cant imagine how people can live with salary below 2 k in KL), but if you want to become rich by becoming a doctor, this i can tell you. FORGET ABOUT IT! you might heard some doctors getting 50-100k per month, or even more, but it only happens in 1 in thousands..

anyway.. did i regret? of course not.. i already believe what robert kiyosaki said in his book.. so why did i still become a doctor? The passion to help people it is.....my long term aim.. to serve people.. for free. When did I plan to start?. as soon as possible, but I need to become financially free first. Please pray for my success…got to go now.. need to sleep as im post call. oh for those who plan to be rich by becoming a doctor... im sorry...
