Do I have to decide to pursue medical studies right at the start of college?

I'm interested in a lot of careers, medicine being on of them. I want to have time to take classes in college and explore my options but I know that getting into medical school takes a lot of work and is very challenging. If I go into college not knowing what I want to do, will it be too hard...

What are the chances of not getting a job after completing a 4 year university and then medical school?

I'm scared that after all this hard work, money, and time that I am willing to put into my education may not pay off. Does this happen a lot? #doctor #medicine #biology #pre-med

For someone going into the medical field, is it better to take physics senior year in high school or wait until college?

I am a little hesitant on taking physics my senior year because I've heard how the teacher does not teach properly nor grade properly. But knowing I want to go into the medical field, I'm debating whether to take the class or not. #college #medicine #physics #medical-school #high-school-classes...

For anyone who has been/is pre-med: How many years into college did you learn you wanted to go pre-med? What experiences or classes in college made you decide pre-med? How many years (undergrad and med-school) did it end up taking?

I'm possibly interested in pre-med, but am wondering if it is best to go into it directly, or if it is possible to go into it in say, my second year of college and how that may affect my time in school. Thanks! #doctor #medicine #pre-med #medical-school #undergraduate
