Just a rambling thread of sorts, but I've really been floating after getting that big ol' A. I'm happy (and tired) after the last four years, and with some time off between January and med school in the fall, I know the typical advice is to settle in for eight months of R&R. That being said, I also wanted to work part time (maybe in a non-medical field), just to earn some coin and keep myself focused on having a commitment to work on. Additionally, some other folks have told me to focus on earning money more (24-40 hours/week) so I can pay off 10-15k extra of med school costs without having to resort to loans. The math for that argument says I'd save only 5-10% of my loan cost after interest, which does not seem like much. Than being said, those folks are much better with money than I am, so I don't know what to think. Anyone else in a similar boat before M1/ any MD-MBAs who can offer insight into whether it's feasible to get a job and save up before med school? Any cool ideas for what to do -job-related or otherwise-- also appreciated
