I want to work in the medical field and become an orthopedist.?
Currently I'm a freshman in high school and I want to study medicine. The study of Orthopaedics has interested me and I want to follow a career path related to this field. Since this age and grade is the perfect time for me to plan for my future and think about what I want to be, I have some questions about this profession. Is it worth it? Should I dedicate the rest of my life in the field of medicine because it has good opportunities and pays good money or should I do it because it is a deep interest of mine? And if so, should I spend 8 years in college or switch to a medical school? What is the better option?

Where should I start with job shadowing as a pre-med student?
Hi! I am going to be attending college in Phoenix this fall as a freshman. I'm a pre-med student majoring in Biology. I know it's a little early, but I know job shadowing is a very important part of the pre-med process, both for applying to medical school and for being certain that medicine is the right career path. Any tips on how to clinical shadow would be incredibly helpful as I am not sure where to begin. Can I contact hospitals in the area? Do I need to ask physicians directly or will hospitals connect me with physicians who are open to being shadowed? Thank you and I appreciate any answers and information!
Is it worth it to pursue a career as a physician?
I'm a graduating senior in high school and I will be attending university this fall to major in Biology with an emphasis in pre-medicine. I've wanted to be a doctor my whole life. I lean towards primary care, and although I know that rotations are the key to knowing which specialty is best, as of right now I think I'd like to do med-peds. The problem is that I have heard so many negatives about being a physician. Between insurance problems, the potential for being sued, and political elements within healthcare, I wonder how doctors even have the time to care for their patients. And I've heard that they don't; rather, they have a specific amount of time they can spend with each patient, and the healthcare system is really mostly about making a profit. Current physicians-- is this true? Or are these just over exaggerations? I absolutely love science, and what I really want out of a career is the capability to truly help and serve people. I don't care about the salary as long as I have enough money to not worry about how I'm going to pay for necessities. I also want to travel the world, and I've always loved the idea of working internationally in underserved communities. Physicians, are you glad you stuck with it and became a doctor? Is residency really as awful as people say? Are the first two years of medical school completely memorization, or is it a combination of memorization and critical thinking? I really appreciate any insight and answers you have to my questions.
How can I find opportunities to shadow physicians/doctors?

How do I decide whether I wish to pursue a career in Medics, Psychology, or other branches of STEM?
I am an eighth grader that is about to enter a job-preparation program. I've always loved science, especially this year now that I'm taking a regents-level biology class. However, I've always found myself questioning the way that people think, and trying to make a "map" of their brains inside my head as they spoke, or described their thought processes to me. I'm also very into helping those in need, and doctor shows (no matter how inaccurate) have also sparked my attention. I am very confused and need help.
