<p>Hello. </p>
<ul>
<li>I don't mind taking blood</li>
<li>I don't want to do surgeries</li>
<li>I want the pay to be good (at least 80k<)</li>
<li>I want a lot of patient interaction</li>
<li>I want the "Dr." title</li>
</ul>
<p>I've taken into account Audiology and Physical Therapy but I don't think they're for me. Plus, they pay is not too good for the level of education your investing into it.</p>
<p>A good one! Compassionate, affable, able and available to patients! Must love what you do or you will not be good at what you do! Your choice will have a tremendous impact on the future patients you will treat and care for! That’s the mistake many aspiring physicians make. When you hear physicians discouraging pre-med students from entering medicine it really makes my blood boil ! Most of their complaints regarding medicine is because they themselves entered this noble profession for the wrong reasons!!! Remember very few professional athletes, rock stars, movie actors are forced into their professions and hence very few shortstops for the N Y Yankees or forwards for the LA Lakers hate their job! Be passionate about medicine and you will ALWAYS be happy in the long term with your choice. Choose it for the wrong reason and you are destined to be miserable ! Only you can choose the field you love! Good Luck to you!</p>
<p>get into med school first, then you can worry about specialty.</p>
<p>Cardiothoracic surgery = $$$$</p>
<p>Probably an internal medicine subspecialty</p>
<p>If you want to go into one of the lower paid specialties like the primary care ones, then pay attention to medical school costs if you have a choice of medical schools, since high debt may pressure you to choose a specialty based on pay levels rather than what you really want to do.</p>
