Hello,
Since middle school I have thought I wanted to go to medical school and be a doctor. I did well in sciences through high school, enjoyed them, and got into a good school. I'm now a freshman biochemistry major.
Problem is, I've only been here two months and am already having serious doubts. Although the end product (being some sort of doctor) is something I could really see myself enjoying, I really don't think I am going to be happy the next 10-12 years. After half the semester, I don't see myself being the person who doesn't mind all that time in school. I'm not sure I'm committed enough to spend that much time in school.
Are doubts like this normal, or should I consider doing something else?
I've recently been thinking about physical therapy because I tend to really like anatomy, more than I do bio.
Any thoughts?
Thank you
