Hello. Great for you.

Could you mind sharing if don’t mind

you going singapore or overseas study ?
is it mbbs or mD?

how much it cost?

How you financing? id you had you never worked before to save up?

Please wake up your idea. Don't waste your parents savings on a new degree. Life is about responsibilities not personal satisfaction. I'd be so sad if I were your parents!

Any seniors know of any law grads pursuing this unconventional route?

There's ONE person from NUS Law who went to Duke-NUS, not too long ago.

Ask around. I'm sure this person's name will come up eventually.

But then you must have a very compelling story to tell.

The person who did so is very exceptional in terms of mindset and calibre.

You must ask yourself very honestly why you're doing this? Is it simply to run away from a poor job market, lack of TC etc.?

Running away from the realities of 1 degree into another is NOT the solution.

Medicine graduates nowadays have their own career challenges, if you've been doing some reading up. If you don't even know what I'm talking about, then clearly your aspiration is just that, i.e. "toying" i.e. not serious at all.
