How to become a Brain Surgeon in BitLife

There are three parts to becoming a brain surgeon in BitLife:

  1. Get a science-related university degree.
  2. Go to medical school.
  3. Find the brain surgeon full-time job listing.

While this sounds simple initially, it can become a lengthy, lengthy, and expensive process for your BitLife character, depending on their stats.

After aging up your character, your first goal is to enrol in university and pursue a science major such as chemistry, psychology or biology. Any of these will make you eligible for medical school later.

Once you’re accepted into a university program, you’ll have several options for paying your tuition. If you have high smarts starts and get a little lucky, you can get enough scholarships to pay your tuition in full. Otherwise, you can ask your character’s parents to pay or take out a student loan and be in debt for a few years. The choice is entirely up to you, but watch your bank balance if you take out a loan, as it’s easy to go into deep debt shortly after graduation.

Go to medical school

After finishing your four-year university degree, it’s time to head to medical school. Head back into the education menu and apply for medical school. You shouldn’t have any issues here if you finished a chemistry, psychology, or biology degree.

Like before, you’ll choose your payment option before enroling in a lengthy medical school program. You’ll officially become eligible to become a brain surgeon upon completing it.

It’ll often appear near the top of the list, as it’s one of the highest-paying jobs outside of special careers.
