Engineering vs. Accounting vs. Medical

<p>I'm stressed about which path I should take. What do you think? Accounting seems good. Can't decide on which type of engineering. (I love cars and technology though.) I can't decide which medical path either. (Can't decide among Family, Physicians Assistant, RN, Nurse Practitioner, Physical Therapist, Occupation Therapist, and Pharmacy.) There's so many choices and I don't know which one to take. Tell me about pay, stress, economy, satisfaction, and other stuff important. I need your help. Get detailed as possible. Longer the response, the better. Links to webpages would be good too. Thanks!</p>

<p>Sounds like your having a midlife crisis a little early. Go take a long walk in a park on a nice day and talk to your best friend about it. Let yourself take yourself into and out of every possibility. Always works</p>

<p>You are asking way too much. This site works best if you have specific, targeted questions, not frantic and ambiguous cries for help.</p>

<p>You can take engineer for your undergrad then get your MAcc or MBA. MAcc focus more on preparing students for the CPA/CMA exam and focus specifically on accounting. As the MBA will give you a broader business skills…or you could just take a double major in the two.</p>

<p>well, I’ve seen people say time and time again that Engineering is good for venturing into the business field, so I guess that brings it down to two.</p>

<p>Engineering VS Medical.</p>

<p>Pay - Medical has the higher pay but it takes a good few years to get the degree and you could be paying off debts or whatever for a while but still, you’ll be making some real Cha-Ching!</p>

<p>Engineering students get one of the highest pays right out of College and the salary caps at around $100,000 or whatever (not too shabby huh?) but there’s potential to go higher.</p>

<p>Stress- Most of the medical fields have more stress than Engineering fields. A doctor is basically on call 24/7. Then there’s the whole holding people’s life in your hands thing.</p>

<p>I think it can be less stressful if you own your own private office or whatever instead of working at a hospital though.</p>

<p>Engineers mostly work somewhere between 40 hr to sometimes 60 hrs or more work weeks. </p>

<p>Economy - I don’t know. </p>

<p>Satisfaction - That’s pretty much up to you I think. Choose whatever you like best and the satisfaction will come from doing that job.</p>

<p>Other stuff - Women love doctors more than Engineers. That’s a big plus in any field I think.</p>

<p>It all comes down to what you want to do most.</p>

<p>They both require hard work though most medical degrees take longer. </p>

<p>If you really feel Medicine is what you want to go into and you know you will make it through the work at medical school, go for it. </p>

<p>If Engineering sounds more interesting to you, go for that.</p>

<p>If you are unsure, then do more research online.</p>
