Hey,
The most challenging part in Medicine is the amount of information you need to memorize. however, don't be encouraged by this because once you know the basics and start participating in the clinical world of health care you might find great joy specially if you are good with people.

Hi Monica,
A great way to investigate your ideas and learn more is to apply for internships or job-shadowing opportunities so you can try it out in person. If you're interested in working with animals in a medical field, you might consider working in a veterinarian office. They typically have all kinds of positions that may not require experience. You could also consider volunteering or getting a job at an animal shelter to start building experience working with animals.
A really great thing to do would also just be to talk to someone in the field. You might consider calling a veterinary office and tell them you are a student interested in the field and see if one of the doctors would be willing to talk to you. Be prepared to ask meaningful questions that will help you learn! Ask what they love about their job, what do they hate about their job, and what steps they had to go through to get there. Lots of people want to help others getting started in the field, and it's a great way to narrow down the choices that are a fit for you and your interests.
Good luck!

Being a physician can be stressful, especially when the patients have an incurable illness. After years of education and training the feeling of helplessness can be devastating.
