If he is considering medicine i highly recommend to explore becomin a nurse practioner or pyhsicians assistant ( basically same thing). U do everything a doctor does including writing scripts without all the med school / residency bs, less student loans, less headaches, and less insurance expenses. Wife is a NP and makes six figures. When it boils down she makes almost as much as the doctors cause she isnt payin exorbiant malpractice insurance premiums.
She has bs in bio from umd then did a 3 yr accelerated program at regis college in westin 2 for bachelors nursing and 1 for masters nurse practioner. Boston college and mass general also have excellent programs
And there are a lot of male NPs at her work. More than plenty of jobs available everywhere and easy to break into
