Just saying that you don't necessarily need to be the scientific archetype to get something useful and employable as a PhD. Bioscience PhDs are good for a few types of research and that's it and that market is super competitive but a PhD in the physical sciences or engineering can be leveraged in many ways. As for money, it's true that no one will be rich going the postdoc >> PI route in academe (unless they start a company or something) but some of the PhDs that have graduated from my lab (Physical Chemistry lab) are working for intel and Samsung and other tech companies and making really good money.

This thread went from OP saying "what specialty would be most interesting for me" to people telling OP to get out of medicine real quick. I agree that OP's description was a little naive but I think everyone went way overboard. I'm sure there are specialties that better align with this style of thinking than others. I say just shadow as many different specialties as you can during M1! That's my plan.

Just join SEAL Team Six. Money, women, and a lot of problem solving. Like "Where should I shoot bin Laden first? The left eye or the right eye?"
