Why do you want to do medicine?

The most important question for us

just wondering what everyone's answers are?

I have the same birthday as Harold Shipman - it's fate that I become a medic.

Sounds ludicrous xD as if you are addicted to helping in a sense that it doesn't sound human and sensible.

I fail.

i hate when people say this.

if you worked in a company, and you did something to generate billions of pounds for them; wouldn't you exepct a ****load of cash?! i would.

footballers play on tv
the get watched by millions
adverts are on tv
adverts are around the pitch
adverts are ON THEIR SHIRTS

people don't say "ooh i wanna watch that mastercard ad"
they say "ooh i wanna watch steven gerrard today"

as a result, footballers generate billions for companies worldwide
why shouldn't they get a nice chunk of it? they're the ones doing the work; noone else is making us stare at those ads, the footballers are, and as a result the sponsors are benefiting, so of course they should earn in proportion to the money they generate for the job they do.

huh?
how much should footballers earn then, and why?

The same four reasons everybody does; chicks, power, money and chicks..

was wondering how long it'd take someone to say that legend of a line...
in answer to the question: i'm indian. what else would i do?

i'm indian. what else would i do?

I wish I could think of an answer, as I stare at the Word document which is blank except for the title "Personal statement" at the top...

Just start typing - even if it is utter garbage to begin with, at least you've started to put things down. You can reread/cringe/rewrite later....
