I think the main reason I want to be a doctor is because the medical school curriculum seems to contain the most biology out of all other health professional schools and I prefer learning biology out of all the other sciences. I don't like chemistry and physics as much because they are more math based. I know this sounds bad, but I prefer to just read things and memorize them. The main reason I want to be a doctor is because I think the medical school curriculum fits me the most. I'm less interested in the curriculum for dentistry and pharmacy. I know pharmacists have to take a lot of p chem. Chemistry is not my favorite and I despise math. For dentistry, I don't know if I'd be too into making molds and the architectural aspect of it. However, I do think dentistry is a better fit for me than pharmacy, since chemistry isn't too much into their curriculum. I've always known that I wanted to have a career in the sciences (nothing that contains extensive math or chemistry though- engineering, etc). I enjoyed doing scientific reasearch, but I don't think I could do research everyday. I'd rather have more people interaction, so I think the health field is definitely the way to go for me. Basically, I want to be a doctor because I think I'd enjoy the classes I'd be taking for the next four years and I'd think I'd do well at those subjects. For me, it's important that I'm good at the career I choose, so medicine seems like the best fit. Are my reasons the wrong reasons to become a doctor? Anyone else have any other career suggestions for me?
