Why are you going to med school?

Are you going because your parents went? Are they making you? Are you just passionate and interested in medicine? Thinking you'll make big bucks in life (if that's the reason, you may wanna think twice). Just curious. Thanks!

Because I'm passionate and interested in medicine more than anything else and I can't see myself doing anything else, regardless of debt, malpractice or anything.

Yeah, I really want to do it because I love medicine, and I could care less about debt and other issues, but I am aiming higher in ranks (I want to be a reconstructive surgeon) because I want to prove to myself and everyone who ever doubted me that I can do it, but if I don't make it, I wouldn't mind being a something like a nurse, just as long as I am in the medical field helping people.
