[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go pre-med, then med school and get a job in emergency medicine in a big city.

You have AI proofed yourself.[/quote]

Yep.
Or Ag/Agtech or hospitality at Cornell.

Both colleges see massively increased interest.[/quote]

Premed and medical school are another part of the problem:
1. Students take on years of schooling with no guarantee of success—a massive investment of time and money.
2. It raises the question: are students truly passionate about medicine, or are they pursuing it purely for financial reasons? If it’s the latter, both future doctors and their patients ultimately suffer.
3. Either AI or the imported H1B physicians will eventually saturate the market[/quote]

Let's be honest here, 99% of kids go for premed or med  for money. [/quote]

Why is considering financial aspects a bad thing?  
As opposed to the 99% of kids going into finance, big tech or big law doing it out of a sense of altruism? Who doesn’t choose a profession with very expensive
Education costs without some consideration of the financial repercussions? I don’t understand why people think medicine should be impervious to the same financial incentives as any other job. Why should young people sacrifice their youth and tuition dollars without some expectation of at least financial security at the end of that long path. As it is, medicine is NOT the best way to make money for students that are smart and motivated enough to do well enough to gain admission to med schools. [/quote]

When the public good - education, health - becomes solely for profit. Everyone suffers. Greeds take over everything. Technology used to be "Don't be evil". Now it is to replace human workers for maximizing profits (for share owners)[/quote]

That has nothing to do with the medical doctors and other healthcare workers who are front line workers getting a wage.  Healthcare becoming profit driven big business is due to business people taking control and squeezing both patients and the medical professionals to increase their profit margins. You want to blame someone, blame big pharma and insurance execs, not the front line primary care docs seeing ever more patients for ever less pay. [/quote]
