Milky Way Galaxy,
Had this on my mind for some time now. I have to become a dr no matter what. My great great grandpa has been one my grandpa and my dad. So med school is a must. So is there any branch of zoology or itchyology I can go into after completing med school? To master in? What jobs would you then get in the real world. Not sure if I care about the pay... If you are good at something you do or love you'll become the best and thus have good pay as you will.... Thats what I always think.

Sounds like a plan and go for what ever you want to become, but as you get older you will find out that how much you get payed will matter.

Research the field you want to study to see if jobs are scarce or abundant.
 
Well, if you go to college at 18, and don't take a single quarter off, and take a full course load the entire time, you'll be able to practice medicine at the very least 7 years after you finish your bachelors degree, so you'll be 29 years old.

Anyone who tells you anything should take into account you won't be doing any of this for 11+ years. That's a big IF you can even make it through medical school (not an easy task).

And let me ask you, if you're 16 now, what were you interested in at 5 years old? Because that's the amount of time between now and when you'd finish med school. Take it into consideration.

Well when I was 5 I was interested in itchyology and zoology all my life. What really interest me is animal rehabilitation mostly for marine life though. Like what a member does on here (zoo diver). Let's say I do complete med school and want to branch in marine wildlife rehabilitation would anything I learned in med school help me? Would I still have to do 4 years of zoology or can I just jump into 2 years of specializing in the zoology or itchyology field?

Just work your way up to a PhD level & specialize in whatever group of animals that you want to focus on.

Honestly, med school is going to be a waste of time if you wish to go into ichthyology and/or zoology; you're looking at putting in a ton of time to get a degree that you're not going to utilize. If anything, you might be better off to just do the whole med school doctor thing, then do volunteer work related to animals on the side; you'll certainly have the cash to put into your passion, so you'd get the best of both worlds in a sense.
 
Do you feel like you need to become a medical Dr. or just earn a doctorate in your chosen field? You can earn a PhD in many different fields without practicing medicine if it's the title you're after.
 
What is itchyology? Is it the study of scratching or some sort?
