Yes! There are a lot of long hours studying in the library followed by long hours in the hospital, but it is a fulfilling career. There are so many opportunities after medical school... different specialties appeal to different individuals. Or you can follow a nonclinical route in research or even hospital administration.

Would I recommend becoming a doctor, that will depend if you have the passion, dedication, and determination to become a doctor as well as what kind of doctor. There is main kind of doctor which we called specialist, a lot of people while they are young they would like to become a doctor when they grow up, even though what you see on TV seem to be fun or exciting, but the amount of school work, time spend, money, and etc. will be your answer if you want to be a doctor and what kind of doctor.
Overall, it is your passion, dedication, and determination of work and time you will be putting yourself or pushing yourself to pursue this career. Myself did took some course work for medical and work in hospital, health clinic, and etc. before and talk to the profession, so I know how much things they went through to be where they are at but main focus is they have the passion, dedication, and determination to become what they want and not what other people want them to be.

I would not recommending becoming a doctor to everyone. First, you have to like school, because after high school there are an additional 8 years of school and another 3-5 years of training, or even longer, before you actually start your job. Second, you cannot be afraid of hard work, long hours, and sometimes little sleep. Third, you have to be good at communicating and enjoy working with people from all different cultural backgrounds. With all of these qualities, plus a desire to have a fulfilling job that makes a difference in people's lives, then yes I recommend becoming a doctor.

Yes. Surgery will require 13+ years of training after high school as well as thousands of hours of grueling work. However, it is an incredibly fulfilling career and a way to serve your community and your patients. If that appeals to you, then go for it.
