Can I ask what led you to dropping out? The parent commenter is not so irrational - he can always go back. But you, if you actually dropped out (and not simply taken a "leave of absence") and if it was actually your choice (not expulsion) seem to have made quite an odd choice - after bearing through premed classes and 3 years of MD classes.
An MD has lifelong financial stability and the chance to do residency and earn even more. You completely burned the bridge when, after just a year, you could've done tech and preserved the bridge, no?
Mike L, founder of Research In Motion (now BlackBerry) dropper out with two months left in graduation (from a world-renowned electrical engineering degree). So did, I think, Robert Downy Jr.
"preserving the bridge" only makes sense to an outside observer. It may never be a practical option for the OP. In fact, it may be something that may taint OP's identity for the future in that he/she may always be stereotyped as a doctor. It'll be contested every time he meets someone new. It's nothing short of an identity crisis. It's the loss of freedom to do what he wants.
People like this usually try to live life in accordance with self-defined principles rather than those defined by the social structure. They think different.
