This is the exact situation I'm in right now. I recently graduated with a marketing major and work a corporate job. I dread going to work every single day and look for a way out constantly. I was originally a pre-med major and struggled with chemistry, so I thought I wasn't smart enough and decided to switch paths. Recently, I've come to the realization that I am smart enough and shouldn't be afraid to follow this path. I decided to go back to school 2 days ago and I'm super excited that I came across this video. I know that I made the right choice after seeing this.

Loved what you said what you said about "not being smart enough". I was a tennis player in college, did okay in classes... was more focused on sport/ girls/ frat life. Never thought I'd be "smart enough" to go into the medical field. After college I worked a real job, then realized this could be the rest of my life. Having that experience of a real job was the most humbling thing that could have ever happened to me. I decided to go back to school, with a crazy goal to become doctor. Did an hour commute to a bankrupt city to take my biology prerequisites for dental school. The school was in a ghetto location (you could see needles on the ground of the school parking lot). People laughed at me for being the "old guy" in the class, but the struggle made the journey so much better. I'm 1 year out from graduating dental school (my dream school), and hope to go to residency afterwards!

[@denisepaulsenful]

Great story.

[@bndtglitchedrobot9718]

I'm in a similar situation. Worked construction from age of 17-24. Now in working on a bachelor's in biology and plan to either go to med school or PA program. people laughed at first, then realized I was 10-20x smarter than them. I was average when I was in high school, but compared to this latest generation of college students I feel like a genius. Let's just say I destroyed this girl who got into Princeton when it came to math and science and she is a chemistry major who was ranked #1 in her school...

Omg it's so motivational!!! Thanks for sharing, it definitely helped me feel better about the whole situation.

So here I am studying harder to get into the med field! Thanks

As a vet student, would be interesting to see a video of your thoughts on vet vs. med or a video with your brother comparing the 2 fields and stereotypes/perceptions of vet vs med!

[@BowenBlue]

@@maxchevelle9334 Like I said, I'm already in vet school. But thanks for the encouraging sentiment ;) Definitely agree about the debt vs. salary aspect, but I think a lot of people limit themselves to thinking of vet as just your typical small animal practice, which I also shadowed in prior to school and found quite mundane as well. Just have to find the area of vet that you like (equine sports medicine woop woop), and there are options for residency/higher salary if you want to specialize.

[@DrCellini]

Already spoke to my brother about this video! Will make it sometime in the future :)

[@sharpandloud3422]

I just got into veterinary school at UC Davis. So looking forward to it. And I completely agree with Annie. To not go to vet school because of statistics is not fair to your dream. Sure a lot of vet students have debt, but you aren’t those people and those people aren’t you. I’m looking at going into public health but there’s also the military, other govt jobs, specialty practice, teaching, research, or even jobs in the private sector and business. If you have a dream then pursue it.

It wasn't rewarding on a human level, I felt I had no purpose and wasn't truly helping anyone. I quit after a couple years and am now back in uni studying trying to pass exams to get into med school by the end of the year. What I learned throughout my internships and my full time job experience is that you can be in the most exciting cities in the world, have the best colleagues, and earn a lot of money, nothing is more important than feeling useful and bringing value to your community. I'm back in my mid-sized hometown in France after having worked in Paris, London, Hong Kong... and nothing beats actually enjoying what you're doing and going into a career where you're constantly learning and where every day is different.

[@stevenparedes9041]

I love this! I originally went to school to be an MA where I unfortunately didn’t even try in school. I didn’t know what I wanted to do and I figured going to school to be an MA to get a job once finishing would be good. Once I graduated i took a job in billing at a private Ophthalmologist office where I had interned during school. It was a job and everyone was awesome but I disliked what I was doing and I knew I didn’t want to do this forever. Fast forward 4 years and I’m currently a Scribe in Pulmonary, learning a lot from the 3 Physicians I work with and getting ready to go back to school this fall for Premed. I couldn’t be more excited and I’m counting down for school this fall. I know it’s going to be a lot of work but I’m genuinely excited I finally know what I want to do.

Started film school at community college, failed all my courses, didn't know what to do /w my life... Watched grey's anatomy, epiphany came, and this crazy idea about maybe putting effort into school grew in my mind. Dropped film school next semester to re-take my high school science courses. Got into college in biochem year after. Graduated. Got into med school. Now I am, a despaired, but purposeful, MS2!

I went through a similar thing. I always just assumed I wasn't good at school or good enough to go into any kind of medical field. I really just lacked a lot of confidence and didn't try enough. I worked way too many years of retail and useless office work that I didn't feel good about at all before I finally decided to go into nursing. I remember telling my BFF, and I was so afraid to tell people because I had never done anything science related or been "good" at math and science back in high school. She was just like ok...you could totally become a nurse. You should do that. She was just so casual and confident about it, like why wouldn't you? So that's what I had to start telling myself- why shouldn't I? I thought the same as your brother, like I have the opportunity to go back to school, there are tons of nursing schools here, I work full time and can even save the money, I can afford to take the pre-reqs...why not give it a go? I loved hearing your story, you don't see many on youtube that didn't just go straight into medicine.

I’ve been following your page for about a year now and I can’t believe how similar we are… I was an economics major, on a club rowing team, didn’t think I was that great at school, got my degree by 21 and the following summer I decided to pursue medicine… I did three full semesters with classes over the summer, took my MCAT and got into medical school by 24… and now I’m interested in either diagnostic or interventional radiology!

[@payamamin9985]

Hi! I am also an ECON major. I’m trying to do the same thing and I was wondering if you are currently in a post Bacc pre med program or are you taking pre med classes at a community college? Can you explain more about your route? Please tell me a less expensive university/college to complete my pre-requisites?

[@jaredgrxss]

you have so much depth to you man! i love it.

[@davidsopko5512]

this video resonates with me so much honestly. I recently graduated from college and I've always had an interest in medicine which is why I majored in heath sciences. From listening to your past and hearing your story I genuinely feel confident to fully pursue working in medicine. Thanks Dr. Cellini

[@Jay.org-30]

Thank you for sharing, Dr. Cellini!

[@darkazurasr2]

Im almost graduated from a political science major, due to depression and working at the uni’s orchestra I just did what I like. Now, I decided that law school or public administration is not what I want to do and I am going to take next fall term some of the courses I need to enter to the physical therapist doctorate. It is going to be expensive because of how long it took me to decide but all I want to do is what makes me Happy.

[@Dylan-jn3dq]

You know what i feel the same way. I just feel medicine is my route. My dad has been working as a engineer for 30+ years now. He even says himself he wishes he could have done something else. I have also witnessed many stressful things that he has to go through day in and day out just to take care of my family. And that idea of just working like that so hard for a corporation is just not for me. I feel like it would be so much rewarding and not as boring so I am leaning towards medicine now as a premed in college.

[@rezam3918]

Please do a vid with your colleagues, i want to see what a radiologist's social environment looks like in the hospital

[@pre-medpath1190]

Thanks for sharing your journey! It's encouraging for pre-med students to hear 🙌🏼

[@DivineSeaDragon]

Pre-Med Path hey can you make a video about which pre-med major is better/good for MCAT?

[@pre-medpath1190]

Haha [GG] Yes I can! There's no one correct answer, but I can discuss the factors one should consider before choosing a major 👍🏼

[@EpicTacoAirsoft]

Just discovered your channel, I appreciate this video. I have been working in a corporate job since I was 16 and im currently in community college at the age of 20, and I swear ive switched my major many times. Ive always wanted to do something medical but I didnt think I could starting college a little bit late, but I am stuck in the same situation being so drained just sitting behind a desk. Thanks for the motivation.

[@alphaspartan]

I was in the same boat, Dr. Cellini. Like literally the same exact situation as you in almost every way, very eerie. Glad we made it out!

[@mikeo.4203]

Very similar experience I had a desk job in the navy very mundane same thing everyday and decided no way I want to live my life like this. What killed me the most was I wanted to enter school full time 2years after the navy but a contract still kept me in til 24 but took some classes when I could. Now I’m a third year pre-med hopefully I will excel with all my courses til the end. If not I’m definitely gonna consider being an officer though regardless I’m glad I got the motivation to go to school. If I didn’t take that chance I’d have missed out on great knowledge and just what i’m capable of. Though gotta say glad I saw this video even if it was a year later! Great motivation.

[@safrafath]

KZbin recommended this video at the right moment. I'm in a similar situation and this really motivates me. Going into medicine has always been my dream. I hope my dream becomes a reality one day.

[@bluesteelgaming2883]

I am going back to college with medicine as the eventual goal. Went through tech school for heating and cooling, currently in maintenance. Love hearing non-trad stories as inspiration.

[@daphnehsiao9805]

Never too late! I just became a RN at age 50

[@sammyanddean3106]

Thanks for sharing Dr. Cellini. This gives me the encouragement to pursue my current undergrad (currently have 1.5 years left) and potentially start applying for med schools

[@guesswho8562]

gees what an amazing upbringing and your parents must be soooo proud of all 3 of you .

[@KB-uy3kh]

i m nursing student and i m about to start my internship program. next year i m planning to do my pre-medice requirement and start my MD program. its scary decision but my dream was always to become doctor. i m 23 and think i m too late for it, but after reading those comments it just inspired me.

[@aqulisbellphd5219]

Radiologists are some cool doctors and another breed..did Sonography for many years presenting films..it was awesome and now I'm on my own MD journey.

[@nathanhynes]

Thank you so much for this video. People act like to succeed in medicine you need to know you want to do medicine years before college and need to be very confident. I’ve only realised I want to do medicine at the very end of high school and have struggled with confidence thinking I’m not smart enough to be a doctor.

[@glow15]

Thanks for this amazing insight Dr. Cellini! It's true, it may look as if CEO have it easy, but they do a lot of work as well!

[@pragyatsingh8078]

Great example of do what u love.. without thinking of all the what ifs.. kudos to u bro

[@Elizabeth-tm7xr]

I too am in this process - which it is, and I am enjoying every goal reached. Thanks for the reminder that change can happen, and doors to open. To new chapters!

[@HiRSquared]

Thank you for sharing your path to medicine! It's so inspiring to hear your story!

[@wadecafun6703]

Wow! Listening to you is so inspirational. I've been considering going to medical school for a while. I've also followed an unusual path, and listening to you just motivates me further. I really appreciate your posts.

[@dmd2803]

this is so so helpful!! i am thinking of the same thing in my first year post grad in a corporate job and this gives me a lot of encouragement❤

[@kensingtonchubbs6191]

Love this video! This provides a great insight into medical admissions, thanks Dr Cellini

[@aleksap5459]

Thanks for this video. I started off with a biochem degree, went into a grad nursing degree, now I'm a new RN while studying pre-med... your videos inspire me to keep going to get that MD. :)

[@stephaniekreal5275]

When you went back to school to take your med school prereqs, were you taking those classes at a University or at a community college?

[@elainep8873]

I'm a non trad who pretty much mirrored you except I got my premed and through life's circumstances, had to go into business. Now here I am at almost 48 and trying to study for the mcat.

[@kimm.8718]

That's really cool! I wish you all the best on your journey! It would. be great to somehow know how things go for you.

[@jmsmith1767]

Love this story. I also graduated with an Economics degree and worked in the private sector for 16 years then went and got a Masters in History and Social Studies Education and I’m teaching High School Social Studies in the Bronx, NY Like you becoming a Dr it was the best decision for me!

[@Elancardona]

Thank you so much for sharing! Love hearing these type of stories! Helps me not have doubt in myself on pursing the medical field at an older age! 🙌💜

[@rentaldetectors4397]

I am 29 and working on going back to get my undergrad and then off to med school. I will be 34 when I get accepted if I do. I owned and published a newspaper and just closed it and want a different career. I have been a first responder so medical isn’t so new.

[@Carmadon100]

I'm trying to shift my career path from finance to being in the medical field. I just have no idea where I should start- if possible, can you provide me with some resources that I can start with?

[@anthonymarquez6493]

After graduation with my ADN and working as an RN for 9 months I realized I want to be a doctor. Unfortunately I have tanked my gpa because I was a horrible student and did the bare minimum to pass.

[@SRP3333]

I’m not going to be a doctor but I start school next week for PSG which is in the medical field, even though this isn’t like what I’ll be doing but I gotta say I love your videos and you get me super motivated! So happy I found for your videos, btw your wife is beautiful and y’all are a great couple! Make beautiful babies and live life well, blessings to you both ❤️

[@ShinySephiroth1]

Thank you for the support! I work in hospital management and am pursuing a DBA to improve hospital operations for doctors, and... I'm switching careers and applying to med school after I'm done with the DBA! I hope for the best...

[@فردوس-خ6ز]

I have always been a successful student and excelled in my studies. I used to see myself as a doctor, and all my professors saw me as a doctor. Unfortunately, in the baccalaureate year, I was subjected to severe pressures and was not able to pass my exams as I used to. Today, I am studying engineering. Thanks God for every thing. But unfortunately I suffer from depression since then. I am studying engineering and I am sure that I am not an engineer, and that one day I will be a doctor. And I will. Today I fight for success in engineering. And my hatred for what I study hinders me. But after graduating and getting a job, I will work to save money to enter medical school and achieve my dream. And I will become a doctor as I always dreamed of.

[@StrawberryNinjaNibbles]

I just turned 25 & am feeling old :( Im contemplating Med school but idk

[@mcbaggins12]

@Ami Desai the average maltriculant is 24 so that's not that far off. I'll be 31 lol

[@ariaaria6104]

@Ami Desai which college do u go to?

[@jaimejino1807]

@Ami Desai really? Is there any bad side in starting med school late compared to your classmates? Because here in the Philippines, filipinos start going to med school at 20 years old. And next year, I have decided to enter med school at 24. Kind of nervous about that, would appreciate your insight 😊

[@kolyah22]

Imagine how you will feel if you are still where you are in 10 years time... 20 years time... It's not too late. I made the change at 26.

[@ariaaria6104]

@@kolyah22 can you tell us from what career you changed into medicine?

[@shiiva5895]

cool! i was a college swimmer too while taking my electronics engineering degree.. it’s midnight in here and I got woken up by a dream that I was practicing med which led me here 😂😂

[@arteleanore7000]

Would you consider talking more about how you balanced doing all the preq in 3 semesters? Including studying for Mcat?

[@isabelsharpe3811]

Where did you do your post-bacc? Was it a formal one or did you take it at a local school?
