hey bro ;
SO i am currently in last year of law studies , and i really hate my studies and the class . But i cope with it
Because i know that my hair will not last long enough . And i don't wan't to appear as a balding man in college

the thing is what i really wan't to do now is medicine studies . However in france the 1st year is extremely hard and then you have 10 years of studies !

currently i am in my 5th years of studies ; I still have 2 years before getting the diploma .
But i really dislike this course . i don't know if that would be a good choice , as i am already 24 yo

1) I am pretty sure you still have a full head of hair and some serious BDD (we all do). If not, show some pics and prove me wrong. ;)

2) you're crazy. Become a lawyer and make bank. Pursuing medicine will consume the rest of your life.

it is not like in the US , average lawyer in france make minimum wage . Only the top 10 % make money
And this in order to do a jo called " notaire " which can make real money but is extremely boring

If you don't like what you're doing, you wont make big money out of it, in most cases. My class of 2017 started with 300 students, now we're about 100 because these who didn't enjoy it couldn't keep up with studying 8 hrs a day.
You've spent quite a bit of your time in your current major so you should know best if thats what you wanna do for living or not.
Think of it this way though - what if you start studying med and don't like that either? It's something you should decide for yourself honestly. Wish you luck in whatever you choose though

I don't know about France, but USA, the rewards of being a medical doctor aren't what they used to be and the costs here are astronomical. I told my kids to follow a different path.

Nothing crazy about it. If you become good you can earn yourself a good deal of money, and make many people very happy. You do of course have to consider if there are any treatments on the horizon that will render hair transplants obsolete (probably not in my opinion).

Anyway, no one can really answer this for you. On one hand having to study for 10 more years, after you've already done a couple, sounds extremely brutal. However, if it's your true passion you should absolutely do it. I wish I had something I was passionate about man. But only you can know just how into medicine you really are.

That's a pretty bad idea. Before studying hair transplant,you'll have to study about almost everything related to human body which I doubt you'll find interesting as it'll be unrelated to hair or androgens. Hair transplant or hair related topics will probably come under some sort of specialization and I doubt that you'll have the required motivation to study about things not related to hair. You'll have to start from scratch and maybe after 6-7 years will you be able to specialise in hair(provided there's no compulsion on having a certain amount of clinic experience). All in all,a bad move.

here in france you don't have to pay to go to college or me school
but the level of the study is extremely hard . especialy the 1st year
and the thing is that i am already quite old ( 24 yo ) and i finished higschool 7 years ago
I did a 3 year of business school , and then i dropped it because it was a scam .
And then i started law studies ( currently in my 5th years ) But this is really a course that i hate .

Finish your current study

Then you can always start sth new

After my first degree and 2 years of working i went to uni again for a different subject

I was 25 then.


Had to quit recently/take a break tho bc i got a kid n stuff..

Also you really get sick of the poverty student life...its no problem to gave no money with 19 but with 26 its a different story

Maybe you will say the same about medicine in a few years and then youre 30 and have nothing..gg

Finish law then you can still do sth else


This being said..keep in mind 80% of people hate their job and the field their work in..this is why personal life is very important as compensation for the daily horror you have to witness in the office

Do what you love! Due to many years in school and having to take a few years off along the way for some difficult personal medical issues that came up I didn't enter my final employment until my early 30s but who cares? I passionately love my job.

Most of your life you will spend working up to half your waking hours. It's very important you do something you care about. How quick you get there is less important.

But if you're already in 5th year law and don't have much to go finish that first. Don't waste the 5 years.

Well then just finish law first. Once you're done and actually have a degree, then decide if you want to go do something new. How far do you still have to go after 5 years of law already done?

Just throwing this out there - Finish law and apply it to business. At 24 you must establish yourself and start making money, not waste time. Here in the US, I have a friend that is USA representative for wine producer in France, he is very successful and through that connection he has met other people that led to more investments and money for him.
