Yeah, seems that a lot of people are confused as to what a nurse actually is and does, which is what I was going to mention earlier.

Re: For College Age Members Only (17-28)

Age?: 17
Sex?: Male
Desired Career Path? (If you don't know, just put one you most think): Doctor or surgeon.
Hypothetically, if you were to persue a career in medicine, would you rather study to become a doctor or a nurse?: A doctor
Why did you choose the answer you did?: Because that is my current goal right now, being a doctor would be really fun and it is a prestigious position to add some cream on top.
Why didn't you choose the other answer?: Because nursing is really hard, I don't think I could deal with the day to day life of patients... Also, nurses don't get paid enough money for my liking. I hope to get into a field of medicine which allows me to have my own business with it (radiology, for instance) and make serious cash, I am very interested in money.
Would you ever seriously consider a career in medicine, if money was not an issue?: I am seriously considering a career in medicine, very seriously. I enjoy doing chemistry, a lot, but there is not enough social interaction, with medicine you get to learn about chemistry and medicines and the way they work on the body (one of the most interesting things to me) even if it is not necessarily the main focus, the actual doctor work (diagnosis and treatment and stuff) is also very interesting, and the money is right.

Re: For College Age Members Only (17-28)

Age?: 21
Sex?: Male
Desired Career Path? (If you don't know, just put one you most think): I have had many options run through my mind: author, game designer, and EMT are among the myriad of possibilities. I'm leaning towards the last one mainly because I'm taking a course in first response right now (if only because I thought it was just CPR certification at the time of registration).
Hypothetically, if you were to persue a career in medicine, would you rather study to become a doctor or a nurse?: Probably a nurse.
Why did you choose the answer you did?: It's easier to take care of somebody than to find out what's wrong with them.
Why didn't you choose the other answer?: I am aware of the immense burden of schoolwork involved in earning a degree (my dad's a PhD, and my mom's going for hers), and I'm not about to get in over my head in schoolwork going after that MD.
Would you ever seriously consider a career in medicine, if money was not an issue?: It's not money, it's that I don't want to get overwhelmed by either schoolwork (en route to the degree) or PTSD (brought on by practice).

Thanks in advance.

Don't mention it.
