NOC SPY vs MD

Honestly, becoming a doctor is great and all but honestly certain specialties and medicine in general could become really boring and could even force you to leave the profession. Honestly being a NOC agent for the CIA or a black-ops agent is much more fulfilling than medicine. Whats more important, bull****ing patients about a useless treatment or saving the world. For those of you who say the CIA is bull**** take this quote from Al Pacino from "The Recruit", "Our failures are known, but our successes not"-basically who knows how many times the world has "been saved". Please don't give me any "well medicine has changed the world" I know it has or don't give me any lip service about how medicine is just not for me (I'll be the judge of that) or that it is a life altering career with much enjoyment I know that already heard that.

All I want to know is that 10 years down the line will you honestly be happy with going to the clinic/hospital/whatever to do the same old routine, because honestly there is only so many ways you can treat a patient.

The only way that I see medicine as really providing a sense of fullfilment or what I call "replay" value (not being bored) is if one volunteer's his/her services to 3rd world countries or the Peacecore. It seems to me that medicine and law have become a desk job in the recent years with a majority of doctors not having any sort of care for the patient, rather medicine has been reduced to treating the disease and thats a battle lost which over time becomes mundane and unfulfilling.

Anybody else whos actually realistic and has a life outside of a "psycho gotta become a doctor" mindset and thought about a more "fun and fulfilling" career.
Because honestly we all can become doctors, whats after that. I don't want to go through 8 plus years of testing and loans etc to realize that I don't really like my job. I've done shadowing and volunteered countless years and I really like medicine, but my fear is that it (the job) will turn into utter ****. Besides the requirments to become a NOC or black-ops agent are ten times more difficult than becoming a doctor. I'm not talking about a goverment job at the CIA's headquarters, I mean some actually "infiltrate terrorist/drug lords network get info kill people get out alive spy ****". Go ahead check out the CIAs site, its the most skilled profession out there because if your caught you basically ****ed and forgotten. It requires more talent and intelligence than medicine thats for sure. Hell there isn't even a set standard or formula that a person follows to get this job like medicine it goes college with science courses completed, MCAT, extra currc., etc.

Go ahead lets start listing careers that you guys have considered other than medicine that are actually interesting (note Law, Enginerring, Business are not interesting).

Hmm. Please, Judah, do us (and all your prospective patients) a favor, and don't go into medicine. Yes, if the disease is straight-forward the treatment may (or may not be) straight forward as well. However, people are not books, and they don't generally follow all the rules. Medicine is not black and white - people are different, with different symptoms, tolerances for medicines, side effects, etc., with every disease and illness possible.

The book learning is black and white - actually treating people is an art which is full of colors and shadings and nuances which are impossible to put into a textbook.

Well if the OP is so interested in black ops or something along those lines instead of med school go into the Marine Corps. Follow me here would you? Since you're in college go into the officer corps become a Marine Office do a tour in the infantry. Once you got your feet wet then try out to become part of force recon (Marine Corps version of the seals) Do a few missions with them, lead/plan a few operations. ONce that is done contact the CIA and ask if you can get into their covert ops program from there you must distinguish yourself and then go NOC.
If you think that lifestyle is fulfilling then go for it. But always remember this what you see in movies is usually more glorious than real life. Say goodbye to family, friends, good pay, etc etc etc. If you do your job well then you won't get a star on the wall at largely if you do it poorly then well you just might. But if you don't think medicine is rewarding then leave and shadow at the local police department. Why invest in a lifestyle that you are already starting to doubt, to me it seems that you know what you want to do but feel the task is daunting and thus, "fall back" on medicine. sad....
