Right now I am looking into universities and I want to go pre-med. Howard University, which is'nt the "best" school out there has this program where you go 2 years undergrad then 4 year to its medical school. So it two years less then anywhere else which is why it is appealing to me. But I am worried that if I do go to this school it will become hard for me to get a job or i wont get paid what I should get paid because of the school I will grduate from. I really want to become doctor but i dont have the time to go to school for 12 year (after medical school i am going to do 1 year to be general practicioner) because of the situation in which I am in. So does the school you graduate from really affect your salary?

Hmmm... I think it matters a little. I wouldn't worry about it too much though , a medical degree will open a lot of doors.. it's just that a medical degree from an Ivy League school will open them a little faster.

I find that getting a job is more based on your personal skills more so than anything else. When getting hired on a job you should be able to match what the interviewer is looking for. If you have exactly what they are looking for they are not going to care what school you graduated from. It's about being mature, being good with people, having the right knowledge and selling yourself. Learn how to network most of all!!!

From what I've heard, the school from which you graduated only really affects your first job, after that it has minimal influence. Best of luck with your medical aspirations! (I'm also trying to go that route). If you're not planning on attending next year, look into Northwestern's honors med program, they have a similar program but their deadline is early, in December I believe.

it should not matter
if it does matter than you live in a very sad place
your pay should be based on your ability and i would assume that the more training you do the more knowledgeable you would be so maybe that is the reason for difference in pay
maybe skipping schooling time will cause you to take longer to achieve the same rate of pay as those who trained longer
seems to me to be a balancing act
as a Doctor the one who has trained and learned more about what they are doing would be mosts prefered doctor not who got payed more

I wouldn't think so, as long as the school is accredited in the field you want to work in you should be fine because the accreditation means that the school you went to meets all the standards of what a person should know.

Your alma mater may be a good jump start to your career but it's really what you got out of your education and how you use it that will determine your future.
