College is four yrs, med school is 4yrs, residency is 4-10yrs depending on specialty. If you are having serious doubts, you need to stop and seriously reevaluate your decision. Are you willing to spend hours on end studying and giving up a college life just to recieve your MD or DO? That is what I plan to do, but I am confident in my decision. If this seems like too much or is overwhelming, look at nurse anesethist(I hope I spelled this right). Not as much stress as a doctor, pay is $200,000 in my town (pop. 25,000, rural area) so I know it is much more in larger cities. Also, occupational therapy and physical therapy are not as much school, and pay very well.
One final note: if you want to go to med school for something other than prestige, money, fame, and power, and have a serious interest in healing people, then you are probably on the right track. If you want to help people, then become a social worker. Hope you make the right decision.
