With the banking issues going on (e.g. Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse being fined billions by the US), some current and future bankers seem to be considering other career paths which, for the most part, don't include medicine; a few of their stories are on the Wall Street Oasis forum. Did that and/or something related have anything to do with your decision to go to medical school, and if so, what made you choose medicine and not something else? What are you planning to do after your residency (e.g. something in the pharmaceutical industry)?
I ask these questions since there are a lot of new jobs in the pharmaceutical industry, and Michio Kaiku posted a video on youtube discussing that in terms of the poor quality of the US educational system and its need for importing foreign researchers on H1B visas versus the loss of jobs due to automation, tech advances, etc. He argues for retraining workers and better-educating students to solve the US's problems, which could be similar to what you're doing, but blames the US educational system for preventing that; effectively, technology has created a need for positions that the US educational system is incapable of training people for.
Therefore, the working class have resentments against the democratic party because of their poor educations, and the US's (and UK's) current class and political conflicts resemble what happened as a result of or caused the industrial revolution, Marxism/communism, etc; other sources say
similar things, such as "A large discussion is currently taking place as to how our society will handle what is essentially another industrial revolution" in the context of pharmaceutical development and what I'm researching at my university. He concludes that the Brexit and election of Donald Trump were due to the above; I agree with him and what he's implying, which appears to be to attend good US and UK universities for tech, medical/pharmaceutical, and other employable degrees.
