Career Choice: Stability VS Happiness

<p>

</p>

<p>So do you feel that you will be happy doing medicine? Or do you still wish that you could do law? </p>

<p>Thanks for the tips, by the way, I really agree with those. I have a shadowing opportunity with a lady in the Department of Justice this month so I can have a look around courts and stuff. I also plan on doing an internship at a hospital: medicine really does interest me but truly, the only thing that puts me off is that people automatically assume I want to do medicine “simply for the money.” Sure, money matters but I don’t want to work simply for that - I also want it to be fulfilling, you know? </p>

<p>Also I feel that my parents really want me to do medicine - only my mom says it outright but I think they both want that path for me. I don’t want to choose my career simply because of that. </p>

<p>What colleges are you looking at? I’m pretty interested in Columbia - it has a pretty good premed program and a good prelaw one as well.</p>
