should i do pre-med??
im 16, well almost 17, and a junior in high school. i have fairly good grades considering i take the highest level classes available to me this year. i really love diseases, symptoms, and diagnosis, so i was thinking about becoming a doctor of internal medicine (possibly subspecialized in infectious diseases) this would definitely be my dream job, but im a bit hesitant. med school is basically torture, you spend hours upon hours studying your brains out, not to mention it take YEARS to become a doctor. although this may be my dream job, i was wondering if anyone knew of another career that would pay well (above 100,000) but not require as much time and energy. i knew itll benefit me in the end to be a doctor, but i really want to live my young life. any suggestions? or should i just stick to internal medicine?
