I agree -- and a doctor was what I always wanted to "be when I grow up" as a child, though I later switched to psychology after I found about all the chemistry I'd have to take (not my thing!) And then I switched again while in psych grad school when I determined I was too shy to deal with people and would rather deal with computers. So I was a software engineer for my entire career. Lol! The twists and turns careers can take, right?

BUT...I'm still fascinated by med school, love medical-related shows, always have. In fact, it was Marcus Welby and Medical Center that fueled my original career goal as a girl! So post away...when you have time. I know it can be intense and very busy!

I agree that it seems way too early to have to choose a specialty. But I guess it's not that different from most kids just entering college already knowing what they plan to major in. Not to say that can't be changed, but it doesn't seem to happen all that much. As an aside, I almost switched from psychology to health education mid-way through my studies at UNC, but for various reasons ended up not doing so.
