Quitting medicine and becoming a software engineer

[GTRZ]

okay...

I'm not a doctor. But that is the most hilarious thing I have ever heard.

If u r not butthurt by my statement, then that's the sad reality in Sri Lankan software market.

GTRZ ayye not sure if you remember me, i have called you about 5 years ago to add a html5 gaming section on Elakiri.com...sadly i started medicine and couldn't complete the project... You have helped me many times (i was with different EK accounts maybe) over the phone bro those days!!!
Yeah it would be really stressful bro but im really passionate about this, so its manageable (can go on for like 15 hours straight with these game projects etc without much of a resistance at all... I cant work in any other thing like that...so i guess my passion is this)

Yeah the whole reason for me to stay n continue medicine forgetting about my dreams (i wanna try build a game company like nintendo together with a team) is for the stable salary of 100,000-150,000...i would really hate my job as a doctor.
Best time to start would have been 5 years ago but i guess the 2nd best time would be now. I have regretted not dropping out every year. Might regret forever if i don't drop out now :/

THANKS A LOT FOR ALL THE HELPS BRO!!!

I think i know you bro. Then go ahead, age is not a barrier. Good luck

what you dont seem to understand is that going 15,20,even 24 hours straight is something you can do while you're still in your 20s and early 30s but it starts getting really tiring real fast after that. You try to keep a schedule like that and you'll get burnt out real fast.

Considering your situation, what on earth made you take medicine in the first place ??

Still, considering that you already have a business going on, why not complete the medical studies and use it to expand your existing business ? you can play around with coding as a hobby.
