My boyfriend wants to be a Doctor?

My boyfriend is very ambitious he wants to be a Doctor. That makes me nervous, I tell him I don’t want him to be, therefore he is looking into Pharmacy however I know that isn’t his passion and I don’t want to be selfish. I want to be supportive but at the same time how difficult is it? I know once he is in med School he can’t work and it’s very difficult for him and were living together. We do want to marry and have children how is it for the family? I am studying Accounting but that isnt as time consuming. I have a good salary and can manage paying bills on my own. However, in the future I want to be happy with a great family is this possible? How tough is it being a Med Student Spouse, nonetheless a Doctors Spouse in the future?

If he is truly interested in medicine AND is willing to make the tremendous sacrifice it takes to become a doctor, then the benefits are out of this world. I’m not so sure why you’re holding him back – many medical students (I’m about to become one) get married or sustain long-term, committed relationships throughout medical school with no worries. Nearly everybody in med school will end up with a pile of debt, but if he’s truly interested, then that shouldn’t deter him. Once entering the profession, jobs are secure and salaries are high and reliable. You both should have a good life.

He has to love it though, or I don’t know if he’ll get through it. It takes a lot out of you.

It was very tough for my uncle. He started his practice while married with 3 children. It consumed alot of his time but since his support system which included my aunt and others in my family it worked.

But mostly You have to support him.

On the other hand you dont want to be a starter wife or girlfriend. U kno tha one who puts him through school and he seems to forget and change and doesnt c where he would be if it werent for u.

I think its great your boyfriend wants to be a doctor and you have no right at all telling him you don’t want him to be. That is extremely selfish. Plenty of doctors out there have great families supporting them. And its great you want to marry and all but nothing lasts forever. If you don’t last, would you want him stuck playing with medicine than could have been a doctor. And if you do last, then at least he will be happy with no regrets of what if I did this. You get one shot at life and no one should be discouraged by an act of selfishness coming from anyone else.

If he wants to be a doctor then encourage him ,its an admirable profession that will reqire long hours 27-7,but a very rewarding one when you can help make someone well.it will require a lot of work and if you consider being paid by the hour you really dont make that much money for the hours you will be working

Med college, and place of living, must be hard that is a super style of long hours, yet purely think of of all of the advantages you may have while he’s a physician. They make stable money. No weekends in the event that they’re in inner maximum prepare etc… i does no longer stand in his way, you do no longer want him to resent you interior the long-term. If being a physician is his hobby he ought to decide for it. stable success to you.

It is a very grueling process, however, if you are in it with him for the long haul, it will certainly pay off.
