What European country can I migrate to in order to get better a better job? I am a medical student and things are extremely competitive here.

None if you don't know someone

You'd have to find a country that considers a corean medical license valid (or where you can transfer your credits).

After that it's just a matter of finding a good spot to practice plastic surgery

How can you start getting contacts?
I want to become a cardiologist. Highest income, highest prestige among specialties, and highest happiness index. Also cardiovascular diseases and treatments are theoretically well established and delimited compared to other fields like psychiatry or internal medicine.

>medicine
kek over here they just kill the sick

I think you should start in your country knowing someone who can send you abroad or if your medicine school has connections with some European medical school you should just go. The easiest way would be starting from beginning in the country you like

you probably won't get actually useful help here, sorry

for basically any wealthy developed country medicine is insanely competetive, it won't be as cut throat as Korea is just because western education doesnt promote suicide but it won't be any significant improvement

i would recommend just studying in korea while maybe doing an exchange in the UK or US

Are Western parents obsessed about their children becoming doctors like here? All the smart kids in the country aim for medicine mainly because parents believe that you will not find a job outside medicine. Even engineering is considered as a risky job market.

no, my parents never forced me, or really even suggested i should take a certain career (although i half wished they did, i didn't know what to study until too late)

The opposite happened to me. I will spend my youth studying something I don't like and spend my life working in something I don't like. I can't switch careers because it's too late now and also because even now I don't know what I want to study. What are you studying and what do you actually want to study? I read somewhere that education is a very popular career in Scandinavian countries.

It is a developing/poor country syndrome.It happens all around Latin america, Turkey and China.I am quite surprised it happens in korea I though you were above that already.

>until too late

I assume you're in your mid 30s right now, with a child and mortgage?

computer science at a good university (Helsinki University, best for CS here at least) like most people like me who spent their youth on the computer instead of studying. i hope i'd studied maths more before i realized what i liked (or at least hated the least)

"too late" because it took me 2 tries to get in

A guy I know also was forced (dentistry though), he was extremely pissed and it took him long but now as the cash is flowing in he really likes it, a lot.

it's not that bad, it's just that i'm not super thrilled about what i'm studying, it's just what i hate the least and i have a ton of catching up to do

Yeah, you're probably not going to be given any helpful advice here.

Quora's a good place to ask questions like this. It's basically a professional yahoo answers

What are you studying?

see

Norway, ignore flag.
It's competitive here, too.
And the pay is pretty shit. It's a job with lower middle class salaries, but it takes 12 years of education to get there.
And you won't get a permanent job until you're in your forties. Until then you need to be prepared to move across the country for work.
And in all honesty, I think Norway is probably one of the better European countries to be a doctor. Just look at the debacle with the junior doctors' dispute in the UK, for example.

What do you mean by "too late"? When is it too late to start studying something? I'm considering starting to study engineering, but I'm already pretty old.

>education is a very popular career in Scandinavian countries
I don't know about that.. but it is harder to be a teacher than a researcher or work in the private sector, so it's a respected profession

"too late" because i had multiple years off where i wasn't doing anything because i couldn't get where i wanted and couldn't accept anything less

2 tries is normal I think. Only 1 year of delay. Some people here get into medical school in their 6 try, which means 5 years of delay.
I have dentistry friends and no one likes it too. People say money isn't happiness but I strongly believe money is the main key to happiness.

Be aware that the education system in most of Europe is quite different from east Asia. At least from what I gather, a lot of asians studying abroad here have a hard time completing courses whereas they aced everything back home.

I guess it's more normal for medical school, but I also didn't have a job and I most likely could've gotten to less prestigious schools easily.. my parents were pretty furious about me doing nothing at all, much more so than i was doing just "ok" in school (i didn't really actually put any effort into it back then because i had no idea what i wanted to do)

Yeah, but I've done the same. I studied engineering for a year, took a year off, studied medicine another year, and now I kind of want to switch to engineering.
A different kind of engineering, in a different city this time, though. I think the reason it didn't work out the first time was because I didn't manage to get to know anyone at the university and was very sad and alone for most of the year.
It might be a bit late to start over, but I'm not sure I would be a good doctor. I've never really wanted to study medicine, but it seemed like a safe choice.

Isn't it often that way when you have a big goal? You've put a lot of work into getting somewhere, you've built it up in your head, and then it's a bit underwhelming when you finally get there. Computer science is a cool thing, in my opinion. Making the world work.

I mostly like it because I can easily use it to do actual practical things I want, but I do realize there's kinda too many people studying it already, there's most likely not that much money in it in the future

anyway your situation is clearly very different from mine, I can only hope the best for your future

>but I strongly believe money is the main key to happiness.

Dopamine is the main key to happiness. Haven't you learned ANYTHING at medical school?
Study something that you are actually good at. Doing something you're good at makes you happy and when you're good at it, you can make a lot of money.

>but it takes 12 years of education to get there.
Is this taking into account the years of specialty?

>I can only hope the best for your future
Thanks. The same to you.

Yes. Six years of med school, then "turnustjeneste" (which lasts 1.5 years, and is common, regardless of which speciality you choose), and then 4.5 or five years more of specialisation.

>money is the main key to happiness
No one ever got rich through working, mate.

I would spontaneously advise Spain, Portugal or Greece

>"turnustjeneste" (which lasts 1.5 years, and is common, regardless of which speciality you choose), and then 4.5 or five years more of specialisation.
It seems specialties across the world take a similar time to finish. I am currently in the "second half" of medical school and I feel like it is finally ending but at the same time I feel very anxious and desperate because when I finish medical school, it will only be half way to the true finish line. I hate the idea of spending my 20s and 30s burning myself out and finally get good money in my 40s when my body is starting to become useless. Money can buy happiness but it can't buy youth. I thought Europe was different but from what I read here it seems medicine is like that everywhere.

Depends on what you get payed.
Driving a Porsche in your early 30's, living in a nice domicile, buying the better food, being able to fulfill a couple dreams and educate eventual kids... is pretty wealthy.

Italy
UK
Norway
Sweden
all relatively easy for a Korean citizen with higher education looking for work in the medical field
Canada and NZ are also fairly straight forward

Come here man, unfortunately I'm not in the field, but I do know that the healthcare system is fair here, it's ran by the government and there are defined clear steps to get a job.

Don't quote me on this but I believe you have to attend college (obviously for less time than it would take to become a doctor from scratch) and do an exam so your medical license can be valid here, then pass another exam, this time competitively against other applicants, and you land the job.

What are Spain's strongest specialties? I know France is known for ORL and neurology, but I don't know about Spain.

Yeah. I actually think there is an EU directive that standardises the length of specialisation to at least 6 years. It can be longer, but it can't be shorter.

Here you need to learn at least German A1 and need a working permit. (yes, we have been the only european country demanding language knowledge since recently)

Come to France our country is safe :)
