Hi I'm a senior in highschool and I've recently felt a call for medicine but I have been feeling really doubtful about choosing it as a career. Time is ticking for applications now and I can't figure out if it's the right decision for me. I don't know if it's going to fit the lifestyle I want.

What's the day in the life of a Dermatologist?
I’m currently looking to connect with dermatologists (or residents, fellows, or even med students with exposure to the field) who might be open to sharing their experience. Whether through a quick chat, email, or even just responding to a few questions, I’d be extremely grateful for any insights. Here are a few things I’m curious about: What does your typical day or week look like? What kinds of cases or patients do you usually see? What aspects of your job do you find most fulfilling or most challenging? What skills or personality traits tend to help someone thrive in dermatology? How did you find your way into the field—and what would you tell someone just starting to explore it? Are there any resources you’d recommend for someone interested in shadowing or learning more? If you’re open to sharing your experience—or can point me to someone who is—I’d love to hear from you. Thanks in advance for your time and generosity!

Hi all. I've thought I wanted to be a dermatologist for a while now but I'm having doubts in my capability to do so. I am very passionate for Motorsports like formula one, and would totally work in that realm if I had the chance. I would also totally work corporate. I am in high school still but I'm super stressed over what I'm to do with my life and have no idea what to major in. The only thing is I'd prefer to have a very comfortable salary, but find it difficult to find job ideas. I also find myself very drawn to creative or artsy jobs, but hate the pay. Any help or career options?? I will take all the advice I can get... seriously.
