I've tackled this issue many many many times with my family members and other peers, but I present this issue to you guys.
I'm at crossroads. I do not know whether I want dentistry or medicine. I've shadowed both, and come to the conclusion that Medicine is exciting, different and interesting (ER), while dentistry is interesting; however, at times, it is more monotone. (Root Canals, Cleaning)
My hobbies are composing music, learning languages, and traveling. But, I can't really earn income from those hobbies, therefore I want something to do that I can earn money to fund my hobbies. And yes I have thought about pharmacy, but that area does not interest me at all.
I guess the answer is clear on what to do- which is dentistry; however, my asian parents (go figure) keep pushing me to do medicine. They claim its more stable, and I can work anywhere in the world *while traveling*.
Basically, I want my cake- and eat it to. Or so the saying goes. I want to enjoy my job and have time for other things. I'm guessing medicine is out of the question then?
