Introduction:
Hello I'm a 20 year old med student studying in a top 20 medical school right now. I've always been someone interested in self-improvement but only recently have I been concerned about business and making money, so keep in mind that I am a complete novice on this topic. After reading the millionaire fastlane , it has changed my perspective greatly as someone who knew nothing about money. I realised I initially chose to study medicine because I am interested and excelled in science, the prestige that comes with it, the money and a small part of me wants to help others. After entering med school, I understood that I was not going to be at the very top of the medical field and I also lacked the intense passion to help others as many of my peers do.

I started to wonder whether pursuing becoming a doctor was "lazy financial decision" because it is such a "safe" option that guarantees making a decent amount of money, but in return, it is essentialy a 9-5 job that leaves very little breathing room, or maybe worse as I understand it.

Plan:
As such, my plan right now is to finish my education and become a doctor, while trying out businesses in my free time and hope I hit a home run. The stable source of income as a doctor will keep me afloat and provide oppurtunities for me to keep trying.

I have done dropshipping but it didn't do too well. While I don't think I have given it enough time, I think I have already learnt many important lessons about marketing and it wouldn't be worth to keep investing time on it. I plan to try out no code SaaS utilising AI.

Questions:
1. I actually don't know much about the route of a doctor in general, especially the financial aspect, so I hope to get some general insights into this.
2. I think my plan is probably very flawed. Am I wasting my time trying to earn "clown money" lol? (e.g. dropshipping, using AI)
I wish to get some advice on my plan.
3. What business ideas/passive income streams should I work towards during medical school?

(for my last exam, I spent 10 hours everyday for 3 months studying, so my free time is limited. My family is doing ok financially and going to fund me until I graduate, so I don't neccessarily have to be doing low-paying job just to pay our living costs and school fees.)
(It doesn't have to be medically related, although it would give me an advantage. Ideally something that allows me to keep my identity hidden)
