Now you have successfully restarted the debate on who read more books/took more notes during their uni years.... sigh
hippocampus
I've made it through med school with barely any notes and bought like 5 books. most ressources are online nowadays.

I fucking loved this guy this season in the Boys, he was great in season one also though.

Is that all it takes to work on someone's brain

The stack of paper are his bills, not his schoolwork I presume?
DigitalHare
As someone who helped run the computer lab, people in those courses printed like 50-100 or more pages sometimes in a night.

No. They are most likely "note sets", more or less a dictated copy of every lecture, used to study for the tests.

It's free in Turkey where this student is from. You are just required to work at a government facility for two years afterwards.

They give you this chopped up tree with tons of color on it, and then expect you to cure people who got maimed while chopping trees..
Noob3rts
(1) Honestly, if I had kept all of my papers for Psychology, I wonder how high my stacks would have been. Books, definitely higher, but not
Noob3rts
(2) sure on the paper aspect. That's a fuck ton of individual papers, especially for six years. Props to him for staying sane lol

On the left, you'll see all his textbooks, and on the right, all of his student loan documents.
metricman67
That is a tall guy!
jbcars4life
I don't mean to compares sizes for bragging or anything but seriously, I had that much after a year in engineering school
Smacketywack
Not to diminish your work in engineering school but in the history Ph.D. program we read about 70 books (300-500 pages each) in coursework,
Smacketywack
untold number of articles, 150 books for comps, and then a mountain of source material for the dissertation. The amount of notes, research
Smacketywack
papers, articles, and historiographies you have to write is ridiculous.
maxximii
Yea, same. I was surprised by how few books and notes are here.
surtr9
How'd Med School get him so tall? ? Is it like a super soldier thing?
RatBastard516
At the bookstore, they’ll give him $10 for all those used books

My university had a consignment bookstore, which was fucking awesome.
BQZip
My store: “Best I can do is $8.85”
xiaodown
He'll probably keep most of them for reference when he is practicing (my wife, who's a veterinarian, kept most of hers)
TalkingToTheVoid
Of course. Don't you know books lose all their value once they're opened.

This is where Game Stop got their business model from
Zuegma197777
It was a joke the prices... But people took them.
gaidin51
As an engineering student with two degrees, I keep my books.
RatBastard516
I kept all book from BSEE and MSCS. 10 years later I threw them all out. Never needed to reference them, not once. Should have sold them
gaidin51
probably not the CS ones yea. But the Math ones get pulled down too often. :/
smellsmiketeenspirit
You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for a buck fifty in late charges at the public library.
smellsmiketeenspirit
(But I'd rather be examined by you than that genius who hasn't got all his shit together)
Thetruthmakesmesad
*rich grad student that could afford to keep his textbooks
tolgabrotha
Colleges are free in Turkey where this student is from. Meds are just required to work at a government facility for two years afterwards.
maxximii
there's no way that's all the books he needed. I sold all the ones I could (about half) and my stack would still be twice his.
randomdudefromtheinternet
or lives in a civilized country with affordable tuition
maststick
You’re god damn right. My non-core books there were 15 copies in the library. You could always get a copy
maststick
A lot of my books were second hand, the new edition came out the next year. I got mine cheap and there was no one to sell them to
EnergyFiend
There's no reason to keep law school books. Outdated as soon as they're printed. Anything I couldn't sell back went in the recycling bin.
shmoo49
6 years? MD-PhD program? Aren’t those usually paid for? Regardless, get ready to forget 90% of that and realize you know nothing.

They really should switch family practitioners to the Arts branch instead of Science.

Yeah but Karen learned more about vaccinations at GoogleU while pinching off a loaf. Take that, Big pHarma shill!

That's how you succeed. You put out more than what you take in.

is such a thing even possible?

TheGratch8390

dasklaus
Not if your output is supposed to be good. Also, density of writing is higher in textbooks than notes, so not even true in the pic.
JacenHorn
That's true

Vet school: same
whitey211
I was going to say the same thing.
DagFizz
Law school same.
zygfryd4587
I am vet. I had roommate in medicine for 6 years. He did not have event half of it. Third guy on dentistry - not even quater that medicine.
anyofmany
studied architecture- I can remember a single book- it was 7,50€ and I had to buy it twice because I left it home on the day we had the exam
DukeOfAnkhMorpork
I mean, a horse surgeon is a real doctor...
zygfryd4587
In USA is he not ? In Poland (remind IT os on Europe) you are a doctor after medicine, veterinary or dentistry faculties.
DukeOfAnkhMorpork
I was doing rick and morty. I'm canadian though, so I have no idea.
lauraInternetJunkie
Law school, same
catscatsyeahcats
PhD: same.
Itchy73
But none of the salary
volviccrispywater
Pharmacy school same
ChrisThrasher
Not sure of the exact numbers but a few friends of mine are vets and yeah, they pretty much barely survive on what they are paid.
AsUsefulAsTRexArms
Vet here, can confirm, 8 years of school, tuition is just as expensive, 1/4 to 1/3 the salary
DoggieDominion
Yeeep. And maybe 1/2 the respect.
PleaseAMArelatedtomachining
Anyone who doesn't respect vets is a fool. It's doctoring but on 200 species like wtf that's hard as fuck
Lostedge
Would vet do better against gunshot victim with basic equipment than a reg. doctor?I mean vets do surgeries and most doctors are specialized
EtumuIsABearWithGoodHair
Sort of. Not all vets have vascular surgery training. I do, & it still needs specialized instruments, but any vet could do some ATLS care.

It’s ok he’ll break even within 1 year
ryushi5
... Loss of interest in being a doctor.
nanoman273
You can see the tears on the papers
erroniousmaximus
The thing though, is as a doctor, he’ll be able to pay that debt of fairly quickly compared to others.
tumantorak
...and I hasten to add, congratulations @OP; above is a general comment re: how the deck is stacked against a college education in the US.
tumantorak
especially a medical degree.

Look at those awesome leather sandals. If it was the U.S.A. He would be wearing Crocs.

Traditional Arabic sandals. I imagine these feel more comfortable than regular flip flops

and now that he's a doctor: shiny new sexy girlfriend

I didn't get a shiny new girlfriend when I graduated med school.

Don't worry, doctors often get their school debt paid off by their employer

debt only if he's from USA :P

And then easily makes enough to pay off in a few years.

It's OK; the degree only matters internationally if it comes with debt; else you're "Dr. Nick" from the Simpsons.

You can't imagine my envy. I'm from the North East, can you lot get indyref2 underway so we can secede and join Scotland?

Not nearly as much as USA - med school subsided heavly in Canada. Not to say still costly.
