Should I pursue the law or medical track?

Question

I am currently a junior in college and, because I came in with so many ap credits and took a variety of courses, am still able to go pre-med or pre-law. However, the time has finally come to make my decision. I have always loved medicine/sciences, but I am also very passionate about basic human rights in third world countries as well as the death penalty world-wide- hence the consideration of pre-law. However, I don't know how accessible a career in that type of arena would be. Finally, my main concern is that I would like to have a large family (at least four children). I realize that having children during medical school/residency or while working abroad as a lawyer (if positions like that are even available) would be very difficult but I do not want to wait until I'm 32 ... Does anyone have any advice on these issues? I am having a great deal of trouble making any productive decision. Thanks!

Answer 1

medicine. i would not worry about trying to get rid of the death penalty how woukd you feel if a nut murdered your whole family and u!.

Answer 2

I'd go with medical. It seems like you are more interested in that specifically. It's also harder to go big in the law career. However the medical track is a long course.
