Hello, I’m a high school senior, and I’ve been admitted to Rutgers for pharmacy, engineering, and the School of Arts and Sciences. I have taken all my classes in high school to be centered around engineering with AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2, AP Calculus, but never anything like AP Bio or AP Chemistry, only taking at most honors chemistry and AP Psych. I have to commit to a major soon, and the idea of helping people and being in the medicine industry seems like something I want to commit to. I’m honestly having second thoughts about doing engineering, although I’m sure I’d still love it. I can’t shake the feeling of becoming a doctor, but still, I don’t have any experience with volunteering at a hospital or anything. Is it worth the blind dive, or should I just go through with engineering? I feel like I might get a little bit more out of doing something with medicine. I’m already aware how stressful practicing medicine can be, but I sincerely feel like it will be worth it. I’m kind of in a career crisis. I just kind of need some help trying to figure out what I should do. I don’t have enough experience with medicine to decide if I should be a doctor or not, but I still feel like I really should consider it. I was wondering if anyone had experience with something like this, and if so, how did you guys figure it out?
I need to know if I should consider pursuing medicine?
