Hey guys, I got a crazy idea today that I wanted to bounce off you guys. So right now I'm in an MD/PhD program, which means I do 2 years of medical school, then PhD, then go back to finish the last 2 years of medical school.
I'm thinking of choosing a PhD in bioinformatics, which was my specialty during my master's degree. I can do pretty much most of the work remotely, and I was thinking of traveling using stipend money while working remotely. I get 26K a year guaranteed, which will go pretty far in a lot of places.
Just wondering how feasible this sounds, assuming that my mentor agrees with my plan, since he seems pretty chill. I can see infinite possibilities for learning languages and opportunities for game, and international networking, etc.
Has anyone done anything like this before? Any pros or cons to this? I'm 22 years old right now if it matters. My motivation is that I want to keep being productive, but not use up my entire 20's locked up in a lab/clinic
