the discipline: a mistake or not? Hypothetically if someone had the chance to study medicine for 6 years and graduate as a doctor but had no major interest in medicine (and was unsure if they could really even do it!) but was simply doing it to secure a good career would that be a mistake or something to go for? Just interested in hearing what folks think. I guess people learn to like their programs of study and subsequent jobs so to speak. Thanks.
When I say "good career" I,m not simply talking about money - but also about actually doing something constructive. But yes, money too is important but is certainly not the be all and end all of everything.
Helping people and having the knowledge to help people would be simply great but I'm not sure I'm up to the task so to speak. I'd love to be a doctor but think that I'd fall at the first hurdle, that being the instruction itself. Don't reckon I'm smart enough, lol. I'm intelligent but with stuff that really interests me. But I would never get the chance to make the same impact by doing the stuff that interests me, if you see what I mean : ( Actuallly maybe trying to do something which isn't naturally your forte is a good thing - you're pushing yourself, you're attempting to learn a new skills set - or maybe I simply have it all wrong?
