Side Gigs for Pre-med and Medical Students

Normally, I would discourage most pre-meds and medical students from doing anything but focusing on their studies and their patients, but Bryan doesn’t describe anything that would take away from those endeavors. And he’s made tens of thousands of dollars, which to me, is astounding.
