Wondering if anyone else has this problem:
Someone asks you what you are planning to do with your life, you tell them you want to go Pre-Med and eventually go to Medical School, and they flip out! They warn you about how awful and hard the courses are, how terrible the job is, and often times they have no medical experience whatsoever!
Why is there such a negative perception around going into Medicine? You would think a society would celebrate such a decision, not feverishly try to make you change your mind. I understand the classes are tough, but that shouldn't deter someone from pursuing ther dreams, right?
