I'm passing out from medical school at the end of this year. However I'm not interested in working the rest of my life in a hospital as a regular doctor. I love programming and computers since childhood and even while at medical school I learn new stuff and make mobile and web apps and stuff for learning and for fun. Also I learn different languages and frameworks whenever I have free time. And also does freelance stuff for my friends doing IT and CS at college. And I have basic knowledge in CS. Although I don't have any degree in computer science I can try to get one in the future.
Is there a way for me to work in the computer industry with the experience I got from medical school and using the computer knowledge I have?
I checked bio-informatics field and from the things I found on the internet the salary in bio-informatics profession is half in that of a physician in US.
Are there any other fields other than bio-informatics where I can follow an alternative career other than becoming a doctor and also because I'd love to work in the computer field.
