Hi, I am a 22 year old male and I have a bachelors in Architecture. I just recently graduated last may with honors and have been working in the architecture and engineering field for the past 3 years now. As much as I like it, I am just not feeling like it is the career for me. I am very interested in becoming a doctor. I would need to take the pre-recs like bio-chem and the others that are needed in order to apply for medical school, but am I taking too big of a risk thinking about jumping in to med school when I am just interested? I know the courses will be tough, but I have always excelled in the classroom, but I have heard you need to be like die hard set on being a doctor before trying med school. I figured I am interested enough to start and then would hopefully find my nitch once I started and then pursue that area more specifically. Am I being foolish?
Also, I thought maybe volunteering at a hospital or shadowing to get a better understanding what I would be up against, do hospitals help out people like me and allow me to volunteer? What would be the best way to go about all of this. Thanks
