opinions on going into medicine?

<p>Curious as to the opinions on this forum regarding medicine. Any comments are welcome, such as whether or not it is practical for most people, difficulty, pay, future trends, positive/negative stories, experiences, etc.</p>

<p>Read an article comparing the medicine field to a cartel and got me thinking.</p>

<p>Have you checked out the PreMed Topics forum? Different aspects have are discussed there from time to time.</p>

<p>Medicine amongst the most sort out and rewarding careers, at least for those interested in science and dealing with sick people. The field of medical studies have undergone various stages of development. It has become so vast that specializations within are increasing day by day. There is great scope for medicine as a professional career. But being so wonderful in all aspects, this career needs a lot of hard work and dedication. The site [Preparing</a> for a Career in Medicine - Health Professions and Prelaw Center - Indiana University - University Division](<a href=“http://hpplc.indiana.edu/medicine/med-prep.shtml]Preparing”>http://hpplc.indiana.edu/medicine/med-prep.shtml) has some good information about preparing for this lucrative career. It is a very demanding profession and be in this profession is more a responsibility than a privilege.</p>
