About this episode
Liam and his best buddy were in high school when they started up a plan and thought ahead about becoming doctors in the future. There were like birds of a feather flocking together. They had the same way of thinking. They are always on the same wavelength when it comes to planning for the future. Even though they knew that enrolling in medical school was tough, they were in it for the long haul. They were decisive because they were dedicated enough to serve their community and people in need in the medical field. However, they also thought up how they were going to graduate from a well-known medical school without drowning in thousands of dollars in student debt. They wished they could afford to attend Stanford University but everyone knew that Stanford would be a rip-off. But that didn’t cause them to change their minds about pursuing this career. They believed that there was another way to be debt-free and still be able to be a medical practitioner. Attending a federally funded medical school was one of the solutions. They wouldn’t mind committing years of active-duty if they did not just get to graduate but also earn an annual income during their school years. They turned this situation into something that benefited them, and it definitely worked out. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wafa-damlaj/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wafa-damlaj/support
