At one time in my life, I considered becoming a doctor, and had even started to take some of the required undergraduate coursework required to apply to medical school (organic chemistry, biology, etc.)
I started to talk to doctors about my choice, and nearly all of them advised me not to go into medicine and often went into a long rant about dealing with insurance companies, billing issues and being told how to practice medicine by people with only a high school diploma at an insurance company.
I might be a doctor today if it wasn't for them. I think it was for the best: I found electrical engineering in Silicon Valley to be interesting and highly remunerative.
