Balancing Serious Professionalism vs. the Cultural Push for Constant Humor: Does a "Sense of Humor" Undermine True Seriousness?

I often feel like there are two kinds of people in the world: one is logical and the second is illogical. I see many people admire those who have a sense of humor, but in reality, a sense of humor falls under the illogical category. That is why it can destroy people without warning—because if people always joke while talking, and nowadays everyone makes a habit out of it, it becomes part of their nature and they can't undo it. They also teach others that they must have a sense of humor because it helps them handle difficult situations. But in reality, if someone likes jokes during serious situations, I don't think they are serious about anything at all; they are just waiting for someone to come and crack a joke so they can reward him. Given how deeply ingrained this habit has become in modern communication and workplaces, my question is: How can I navigate a professional or career environment that heavily values constant humor without compromising my own commitment to deep, serious focus? Furthermore, does relying on humor in difficult situations actually help us, or does it ultimately distract from addressing core problems?

Would it be wise, and what would be the best route to take if I am interested in pursuing a career in both aviation and medicine (possibly surgery), not to work in the USA alone, but to expand overseas and use as a mission endeavor?

I don't know if it is possible to blend the two, as they are both quite opposite on the career ladder. If it is, what do you see as being the pros and cons of trying to accomplish both, or just one or the other? Do you think it would be feasible to meld the two? I don't want to be another mediocre leaf on the tree. I want to make a difference in the world. Experience relating to each field and what challenges y'all face in day-to-day life would also be appreciated.

For people who studied or are studying medicine, what where the factors you considered when making the decision and what was it like the years of university, how did you balance your life?

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. In the future I want to be a mom and dedicate a lot of time to that, also I don't want to spend all of my time studying, I'm willing to study hard, but there has to be a time for a personal life. I don't know what information to trust regarding studying medicine, is it really that hard and does everybody regret it. For people who studied or are studying medicine, what where the factors you considered when making the decision and what was it like the years of university, how did you balance your life?
