Are there any other careers in the field that will be as exciting as brain surgery?

This is a subjective answer, but a lot of folks would find brain surgery fairly boring. My dad (a cardiologist) likes the sense that he's working on something which is active and working. An orthopedic surgeon would probably miss the sawing and hammering. An ER doc would feel bored without the spontaneity of the event.
Litigators would miss the appeal of arguing before a jury; private equity investors would miss the necessity of "reading" the people around you; stock traders would miss the minute-by-minute changes. Professors would find that they didn't get to engage in lofty ideas, politicians would feel like they were only affecting one person at a time, and professional athletes would wonder what happened to the crowd.
There's a lot of folks out there who would think brain surgery is pretty boring.
