Man I wish I had somebody like you Jake to get ahold of me when I was younger and get me in the right direction. But your doing great things much respect.
Jake is awesome because he brings realism to the idea of the "American Dream" everyone has been told about. He reveals the level of involvement, pain, and requisite ability level and background required to get to a goal
Best tip - go talk to people that do the job you think you want to do - e.g. many doctors are VERY unhappy. It costs a ton of $ for the education, the pay is good but not great, and the physical/mental toll can be high. But it may be your life’s passion. Talk to multiple people who can give you the real picture.
I’ve got 2 different GED’s. First one wasn’t good enough for Navy recruiters, so I got another. Then got discharged on processing day 4 of bootcamp as a result of some ridiculous paperwork mistakes. KILLIN’ IT!
Jake, could you do a follow up with some of these kids for thoughts and reactions and paths they have chosen and why. You get some very driven and articulate kids with interesting stories. Just maybe a quick follow up.
The best advice, and I wish I had received it at this guys age, is to go do internships, shadow people, whatever you got to do to get a taste of the day to day BEFORE you pick a degree or a career path. Because once you get a taste of that day, you might do a 180 and say no way do I want that life. And then, that path gets REAL clear. Fantasy over.
Jake, I love your channel! I am the Associate Dean at a medical school and the Chair of Pathology/Histology. Dude, WE LOVE GRADUATES OF Military academies!!!! My institution actually graduates the SECOND MOST Military Physicians in the country only behind USUHS.
Im a young dude but something I have learned in the last few years is the best path is usually, especially if you don't know exactly what you want to do, the most obvious. I went to Eastern Michigan for two years when it was the last school on my list and ended up transferring down the road to the University of Michigan for Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. Im in my junior year now and I love it and I am excited to go into the industry
Sir, You should be placed on retainer for every high school in America. A small % of kids have a plan but most need additional life guidance. Keep it up sir, you’re helping these kids.
I also think a lot of kids would be better served learning a trade vice going to university. Electricians, plumbers, welders, and HVAC repair to name a few are excellent skills and jobs. You’ll always be employed too. Some of these kids waste the money on university getting BS degrees and end up working low paying jobs and are angry.
Most grad schools, including medical school, don't require a specific undergrad degree. They generally have a short list of prerequisite classes. Some require specific tests like the LSAT or MCAT. But you can have any degree as long as you fit in the required pre-req's.
A good friend of mine retired from the Army with 20 years as an aviator. Told me he wanted to be an electrical engineer and took all the two years math (Calculus 1-3, and Diff equations) at community college before transferring to local university. He’s now an electrical engineer. The brilliant option due to cost is to do all the math and science at community college and transfer to university for rest of core. Massive savings and no one will give a crap about going that route.
I'm a 3rd year student at an international medical school. Some quick things to talk sense into him: go to the CHEAPEST college possible, for 2 reasons: 1. The coursework will be comparatively easier than the ivy-leagues. Therefore he can maximize his GPA, which along with his MCAT score is the most important criteria for acceptance to medical-school. All the volunteering and lab-research he does during undergrad. means nothing if his grades aren't exceptional. 2. He needs to realize that the cheapest medical school costs $60k + year to attend (and it lasts for four year in the USA, 5 years abroad). Dental school is just as expensive. This leaves graduates in a horrible position where they must apply and attempt to get into the highest paid specialty as opposed to the speciality they are most passionate about, just so they can pay off their enormous loan and be able to not live financially like a broke college-student when they turn 40 years old. This leads to a miserable existence. He's talking about a lot of really ambitious endeavors that require a lot of maturity and sacrifice. He needs to understand the financial impact of those decisions and then plan accordingly. If being a doctor/dentist means living at home for 2 more years, then DO IT.
The services have health professions scholarship programs which essentially provide a free ride through medical or dental school, in return for obligated service (typically 4 years for 4 years of school, not counting residency training). There is also USUHS (the military medical school), so there are pathways that don’t incur a mountain of debt.
Great video .I have been debating taking a higher math,chem and physics at a community college this summer. I'm currently a 17 year old as well and this kid has encouraged me that I can handle it because I take some of the same classes . I'm going to meet with my high school counselor on Monday to talk about our dual enrollment program. BOOM! 💥 Also, I Love the videos Jake I'm a long time fan.
Get the undergraduate degree in Washington (UW or Washington State) (ROTC, Air Force at UW?) they will pay you to learn how to be a pilot. Do minimum active duty, reserves out of McChord , go fly for legacy airlines. Or going to massive debt.
On theses Superstars you are guiding, follow-up would be phenomanomial if possible with your workload. Regardless great presentation leading these young leaders.
I know this is way too late to be useful, but I’m surprised he hasn’t pursued linguistics/SLP courses. They are more about psychomotor processing than he might like, but very thorough on the A&P of head, mouth, airway, etc
Hey Jake, I enjoy your videos. I'm in a similar situation to the guy in the video. I will be leaving the army (ETS) this year, and I'm interested in becoming a pilot in the Air Force and then going to med school. You mentioned the opportunity of being a flight surgeon, and I'm curious if I could fly for around seven years and then go to med school after fulfilling my commitments. I heard you say in other videos that it's unlikely for older folks to fly fighters. How improbable would it be for me at 27-28 years old after completing four years at UCSD?
I'm a current dental student pursuing Oral Surgery. The path would require him to transfer to a 4 year college, take the DAT (Dental Admission Test) once he finishes Gen Bio, Gen Chem, and Organic Chemistry. Then apply to dental school in may/june of his junior year of college. If he wants to go military for his oral surgery residency (Which is after 4 years of dental school), he can apply for an HPSP scholarship around the same time of applying to dental school. All of the branches have their own scholarships, will pay for dental school, give you a stipend to live during dental school, but you'll be expected to give the same # of years back in the military. It would be best to go to a dental school with high specialty match rates (Stony Brook, Columbia, UPenn, Harvard are great schools around me in the Northeast).Then, during dental school, he will have to take the CBSE Exam to apply to oral surgery residency. Throughout dental school, if his school has grades/rank, he should be in the upper portion of his class. At the end of of his third year of dental school, he can apply to various oral surgery residencies in the military. In oral surgery, there are 2 types of residencies, a 4 year or a 6 year program. The 6 year programs have medical school integrated so you graduate with an MD. This is irrelevant for him though because at the current time, there are no 6 year Oral Surgery residencies in the military at the moment. I heard one of the last branches that offered a 6 year program recently ended it. So if he's going military, there are only 4 year oral surgery programs (No MD), which is perfectly fine. Best of luck! Overall: 4 Years Undergrad, 4 Years Dental School, then 4 or 6 Year OS Residency (Only 4 Year possible in military rn) As for his undergrad being 30k, so what? Especially because he said he'd only do 3 semesters. Take out loans, that's what everyone does. Also, if he thinks 30k is bad, try 80k-120k per year in dental school.
Hey, my girlfriend is from Washington state, skyline high-school (right next to eastlake), did running start, same college as him. It's technically not community College for a little while now. Then she went to UW and got her bachelor's degree in business. The transition between those college classes to UW wasn't much of a difference. The part to be concerned about is focusing on classes. With his high school grades he should have no problem at UW. She advises him not to waste money on redoing classes he already took.
Love your videos, dawg. Youngster needs to be hard in math and science to be a Dr. I don't think he's smart enough. Best bet get a B.A. and ROTC if applicable and become an officer in the military. Best of luck to dude.This is the way.
@@jakezweig Yes sir, all the Seattle candidates going this summer are practicing together. Unfortunately, no live rounds at OCS, only blanks. All shooting is done at TBS, which isn't for another couple of years.
No disrespect to the young man, but I am watching him say he wants to go to a service academy, and you ask him what he wanted to do in the Military and he said Oral Surgeon. I had to stop and replay that 3 times. I don't know what to say about that. I know this is an older video, but one thing that did strike me odd, was he listed some good Colleges/Universities, including Harvard and Yale, but mentioned the cost of the University of Washington, and he is in State. If that is expensive, he will have sticker shock everywhere else. Especially if he has to tack on 3 years. The kid doesn't look stupid and I guess if someone is on a ship for 6-7 months there is probably a need for oral surgeons. I can't see it being on a recruitment poster. You have more patience than I do.

A minor correction: the actual major is irrelevant as long as one’s undergrad degree follows a pre-med track. Great points, Jake!!
