Answer 1

I went into medical school thinking that I would be a pediatrician, but a few days into my peds rotation in med school cured me of that.  I still love taking care of kids, but I like them asleep.

If you go to medical school, there's a good chance that you'll change your mind.

The only way you can really know what you want to do is to try it out in med school.  That's why you have to rotate through all the specialties.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
