Do you personally, or among your family relatives and friends, know any doctors? If so, it would be best to set aside some time to talk with them. Ask in detail about what courses are studied in medicine, what everyday work looks like after entering the profession, what kind of schools your current grades would allow you to apply to, and whether job prospects are good. Once you understand these things, you may be able to make a much clearer judgment for yourself.

When choosing a major, if someone in your family works in a related field, you may be able to gain deeper insight and receive more targeted guidance for your future development. Personally, I think there is usually a reason why most people in a family end up following similar or related career paths.

In addition, interest is also an important factor. Most jobs and fields of study are quite different from how they appear on the surface. Every major requires a great deal of specialized learning and training, which can often be quite tedious. So it’s important to first develop some understanding. With how quickly information technology is developing today, it may be easy to access a large amount of relevant information. You could also try taking some interest or career assessment tests through career evaluation software or websites.
