Comment on Ask HN: Has anyone gone to med school after working as a SWE?

Comments

My eye doctor graduated with EE degree, worked as EE for 6 years for a defense contractor, then went to medical school. He wanted to do things that save people and not kill them.

In reverse, I have a cousin who went to medical school, became a doctor, worked at a hospital for few years, didn’t like the work, couldn’t handle seeing sick people day in day out, decided to do MBA, then joined IT consulting firm, bounced between different consulting companies, later started his own IT consulting firm focusing on healthcare.
