Organic Chemistry isn't the hardest class but isn't the easiest. 300+ chemical reactions you need to know and understand (being able to apply with several situations etc). BioChem is a nightmare but can be fun with the right professor, with tons of bio complexes and their mechanisms (what shit is and how it works). You also have physics and calculus but aren't that hard. General Chem (1st year) isn't hard and if it is, med isn't for you.
>Med School
Have to know a very large portion of the body like the muscles, blood/bacteria pathways, immunity patterns, etc. One of my anatomy final exams included a question along the lines of "If I were to cut the muscle located on the lateral side of my right index finger, which of the following movements would be hindered?".

No thanks, not interested. I'd rather practice than study. Personal interest really.

The kids who complained on entry level maths usually got weeded out in sophomore year. I used to be that faggot asking questions daily but when I got to PDE I eventually learned to shut the fuck up until after class when I can ask one on one.

They did not want

I'm not going for med (EE/CE), but all of my friends of varying majors agree that med school is harder than engineering, even at a graduate level.

Did you have a bunch of extracurricular and internships? My friends who got jobs at the big software companies in Seattle had salaries of around 100K, 135K is quite a bit more.

I started at 105k which I think is the "typical" starting rate for the big four. Due to inflation adjustments and a promotion I'm now up to my current amount.

I had an internship at microsoft. Not a lot of extracurriculars but I did very well in classes and had friends at various companies who referred me. I'm only recently at 135k.

Note that to get the big bucks, you need to be a software engineer in the silicon valley. If you're an accountant in SV or a swe in London, the numbers will be very different.

>mfw can't network
should I just drop out and become a NEET

Don't be an idiot, working here in silicon valley, I know plenty of people who get rejection letters from facebook.

No idea why anyone wants to work at facebook anyway, getting there is a fucking nightmare, also driving through EPA, no fucking thank you.

Google also doesn't pay that well unless you are literally the top 1% in talent.

Most 'googlers' quit after about a year because the amount of work coupled with the ridiculously average pay, drives the actually pay per hour worked into the ground.

Facebook & google and the like pay with extras like laundry service, not with money.

Source: I work in Silicon Valley and have worked at many of these places (nvidia, vmware, netapp, etc.)

it's harder to get into, but have you heard of anyone dropping out of med school? meanwhile phd programs have around 50% attrition rate.

I'm but it's a weird comparison to make. Engineering (especially electrical/petroleum) undergrad classes are fucking difficult due to the sheer number of things you need to know, like formulas. At my uni (UH) they say that Fluid Dynamics is the hardest class by rating, and it's an engineering only class.

Med classes require you to understand while the engineering ones require a lot of memorization and application. The former only requires undergrad to get a job however, so those 4 years will be hell.

Nah, that just isn't correct.

If you really want to get that much, go work at oracle, they pay way above market (but raises are capped at 3%).

The best way to make any money in silicon valley is to jump around. I work 2-3 years at a place and get a promotion and go elsewhere making 15-20k more.

>the amount of work
Which teams at Google work you more than 40 hours? And don't say Best, that's an Alphabet company now

If you get a MD, you are basically guaranteed a decent living. A PhD, however, unless it's in some particular area that has huge demand (some branches of mathematics for wall street quants, I suppose), means you're probably going to be looking for academic work, which is both hard to find and doesn't pay that well.

You don't need a doctorate in an engineering field to actually do engineering work, so pursuing one is kind of stupid unless you really want to teach.

Listen, the only people who don't work over 40 hours are all the fucking mexicans that water the plants.

I guess that was only my impression. I got a return offer from microsoft after interning there which had the same salary (105k).

PhDs certainly do work in non academic settings (they have to given the low number of good academic jobs compared to the number of PhD holders), but that doesn't mean that a PhD is a good investment in terms of financial reward. In a few fields it is (maybe database architecture is one of them? Don't know, I don't work in the field), but in most it's not. Which could help explain why 50% of PhD candidates drop out - not because it's hard, but because they realize the returns on their investments aren't worth it.

i never said a phd program is a better choice, and not a day goes by that i don't regret going into one. fact remains though that med school isn't as difficult as people try to make it out to be. if it was you'd have far more people with engineering undergrads in med school, instead they pick some bullshit major where half the credit hours are free electives.

I'm just trying to point out that there could be other reasons for the 50% attrition rate in PhD programs besides them just being more difficult than MD programs.

I have neither a MD nor a PhD, so I personally don't know that one is more or less difficult to get than the other.

>Which could help explain why 50% of PhD candidates drop out - not because it's hard, but because they realize the returns on their investments aren't worth it.
except that's wrong. making inadequate progress and/or failing preliminary examinations are as common, if not more so, than students dropping out on their own. just because you enter a phd program you aren't guaranteed to remain in it.

i'm at a mediocre school and have met multiple phd students in various STEM fields that have started at top schools and were dropped then ended up here.

I mean med school is still really hard. It being not as hard as people say doesn't diminish that. I struggled to keep a 3.0 and I failed at that, graduated with a 2.8 but damn it I'm proud of it. Ph.D programs aren't as easy but they're longer and require far more money. I'd say the financial aspect is another reason for drop outs.

Math and physics has always come super easy...I've never had more than an 80% attendance rate in my technical classes and I'm in my last two semesters. I got a C in high school anatomy....

I feel like a graduate in engineering is mostly done because you enjoy the subject, since you can get a very well paying job out of undergrad. While a lot of med students are in it for the money. If you enjoy what you do, it'll be easier to do it.

There are some engineering specializations that almost require a graduate degree.Almost as in always, but there's always some lucky bastard that knows someone who knows someone...

Your statement is kind of proving my point, user. I'm not saying that every engineering PhD candidate drops out because it's a bad investment, I'm saying that *some* of them do.
>making inadequate progress and/or failing preliminary examinations are as common, if not more so, than students dropping out on their own
OK, so let's assume your estimate is correct, and say that 60% of students drop out because they can't cut it, and 40% drop out on their own. That means that instead of 50% attrition because students can't cut it, the attrition related to students who can't cut it is actually 30%. Another 20% drop out because of other reasons.

yeah, but you're making the assumption that phd students have something better available to them upon dropping out. the vast majority of the phd students in my department (mechanical engineering) fall into two categories a) international students trying to get permanent residence in the US or b) US citizens that couldn't get a job upon finishing their undergrad.

i had a 3.9 GPA for my undergrad and did undergrad research. it made me a strong phd candidate but the only calls i got for industry jobs were for shit contract positions that had no benefits and paid 2/3rd of the national starting pay while in a high cost of living area.

i tried applying again 2 years into the phd. the only offer i got was one where i applied for a field engineer position since i do experimental work and worked on equipment vary similar to what the position involved. instead, they offered me an intern position that paid about half of what the full time position paid and had no benefits. mind you the full time position was an entry level position while i had 2 years of experience working with very similar equipment. their justification was that i had no "service industry experience."

>have to take the lab
I had a 2 semester lab course that taught me very little compared to volunteering in a plant biochem lab, if that's what you mean. In final year we also just had general research credits for finding a lab to work in and doing a thesis. Undergrad labs really don't teach you much about doing lab work, since you just follow steps 1,2,3 and it doesn't work because the equipment is from the 1800s
