<p>SC - you’re welcome.</p>
<p>My concern, and the concern that you are seeing from others on this thread, is that you are deciding between two professions that both have massive structural problems and very high costs of entry. The latter is the exorbitant tuition to obtain a JD or a MD. Law is a very over-saturated field with little job stability, declining wages for everyone except those at the highest echelons, and more competition from technology. Medicine is currently at the peak of its bubble and will likely undergo substantial structural reform in the next decade.</p>
<p>I always ask potential law students “Knowing what you know now, would you buy a house in 2006?” What you are in danger of doing is entering into those two professions when the job security and salaries are no longer what they had been, but the costs of entry are still priced for a bygone era. </p>
<p>This matters because attending medical school and law school are decisions that will affect you for the rest of your life, potentially in very deleterious ways. Your fifty-year-old self with freakin hate you if you run headlong into either one because your twenty-year-old self was happier having a concrete goal. </p>
<p>You’re not going to go wrong studying things you enjoy, building up a skill set (whatever it happens to be), and working to get high grades. No matter what you do, a “magna cum laude” will follow you for the rest of your life. Aim for that, and carefully watch the medical and legal professions.</p>
