Im a high school junior and have always wanted to be a pediatric surgeon.i dont think i have enough confidence to go through med school. Im afraid i wont make it and end up drowning in debt with no diploma. I really want to be a surgeon but i was thinking about maybe just a nurse practitioner or maybe a neonatal nurse. Idk what to do. Thoughts?
I am also a high school student , I want to be an orthopaedic surgeon, my opinion is : keep trying, nothing can stop you in achieving what you want. You have to work hard . There are scholarships, jobs you can practice while ur in medschool . The important thing is just to choose a good one and get there. Dont be afraid of standing up for yourself
I suggest researching what the actual four years at medical school are like. Other careers to consider are nursing, pharmacy, optometry, physician's assistance, etc. There are lots of ways to have a medical job without going to med school.
