Hm…

1 on the list would be a physician… but with that there is a lot to consider (personal life, $, time sacrifice, my own health)

Where I live, basically EVERYONE is an engineer or a doctor, so those two careers I know a lot about. Besides that, I don’t know much about other careers.
But I’ll list what I’m looking for in a career besides medicine and maybe you can help me out?

I’d like a career that enables me to use critical thinking and problem solving skills, something that challenges me rather than forces me to regurgitate information that I already know.
I’ve also always been attracted to how the business world is portrayed in movies and such— getting to make important decisions, working with (competent) people in teams, getting to TRAVEL (would love this as part of my job), being able to influence people.
I think my viewpoint is a bit idealized though… oh well.
