Yes I'm still in undergrad.
Yes I still have many more years of hard work ahead of me.
Would just like some ideas about what specialty I may want to look into for the future.
Some of my qualities:

- I love working with patients
- I love the hospital setting
- Like moving around (not confined to a single office)
- fair hand dexterity
- I enjoy diagnosing things and thinking of potential ways to fix them
- Ho-hum at math/physics
- Currently work for a prosthetic and orthotic company -- enjoy it but can't see myself doing anything like this for the rest of my life, i.e. no to orthopaedics
- Don't stare at the clock to see when the work day is up

Some of this stuff will definitely change within the next decade just thought it'd be neat to see what people think.

Thanks.
