And even then there can still be a wake up call.

I did have a lot of patient facing experiences, including as a certified medical assistant, and it still didn’t prepare me for being in a big city hospital setting on the wards. That combined with organic chemistry was enough to know I was on the wrong path!

And OP - you don’t need to know now. I saw in another thread you were talking about CS. Plenty of students start college undeclared or switch majors. Spend the time in HS exploring your interests and continue doing so in college. Just pick a college list where you don’t need to declare your major until sometime sophomore year and where it’s easy to switch around. Those schools do exist.
