This should be on a pre-medical school screening questionnaire: “If money is you main object, avoid medicine. We make decent money, but we invest so much time getting there, that from a pure financial calculation, medicine is not your best choice.
If you do not like people, and here I mean all types of people, all social classes of people, then you should avoid medicine. If you cannot accept uncertainty, then you should avoid medicine. If you cannot accept that eventually you will make a mistake (or several) that will negatively impact a patient, then you should avoid medicine.”
