Should I be an OB-GYN or Midwife?
Hi! My whole life, I've wanted to be an OB-GYN as all I want to do is work with babies. As time has gone on, I realized there's more to Obstetrics and Gynecology than just delivering children. Now I'm torn: do I stick to being an OB-GYN and go down the Pre-Med and Med School path, or do I switch it up and go down the Nursing path, become a Midwife, and do what I've always dreamt of? (Also, what are some main differences between the two career paths? Google wasn't very helpful. ;) Thank you so much!
