Question

For my career, im trying to decide between studying to be a forsenic pathologist or some branch of the medical field, like maybe a doctor though i havent figured out the specifics. when looking at the overall years in school, salary and other things, which would be a better direction to go in? i would enjoy working on both fields so its a bit hard for me to figure out a path.

any tips or advice are appreciated :)

Answer 1

Not to sound cliche, but no one can really tell you which would be better for you personally. It may be more worthwhile to evaluate which one fits better into whatever lifestyle you want to lead when you get older. For instance, doctors typically work more hours, have a much less flexible schedule, and often face stressful situations when treating patients. Therefore, being a doctor may not be compatible with someone who cannot handle stress, would prefer to spend more time with their family, and enjoys having the freedom to change their schedule on a whim. On the other hand, someone who wants to be able to lead a luxurious lifestyle, enjoys handling stressful situations, and knows how to cope with stress would align better with being a doctor. Think about what things will be most valuable to your future and then see which one allows you to have more of these things. I hope this is helpful :)
