Many MDs will have failed in law, finance, consulting, etc, because those areas are about politics and playing corporate games.
My only interest in medical school, after this hedge fund work, is so that I have a guaranteed degree (within 4 years) where I can conduct research and publish papers, w/o being in some 6-10 year neverending PhD program.
Well, as a veteran of grad school, I can tell you that the way you get out of the neverending PhD program is to go on interviews and lie about your expected graduation date. The second you get a job offer, they suddenly become willing to graduate you.
Or if your advisor suddenly dies.
Not that I'd condone it...but I understand.

So they don't make you start over?

Thanks much for the post Rin. Bet that guy is smarter than I am. And perhaps he is interested in straightening out civilization, if he knows how to bring these USA histories widely to people's attention.

Excerpt: "Maadhav Shah is only 16 years old, but he already holds three associate's degrees and recently scored a perfect 2400 on the SAT. As the Bobs from "Office Space" would say, this young man has upper management written all over him.
[ snip ]
Despite possessing college degrees, Maadhav is still working on graduating from Granite Bay High School. He'll be a senior this fall. He said he hopes to study engineering at Stanford or Cal Tech."
Ok, with the above stated, how many will guess that someone else, in upper management, will steal his ideas, if he's got any to start with?
