Who have you talked to, doctors specifically? What about asking one of them if you could shadow them for a day, perhaps you know a medical student? They would be able to tell you what school is like. Additionally, there are dozens of other careers in the medical community; perhaps see if you can attend an event or check with your local junior college and see when the different programs ( like nursing or radiology or respiratory ) are having their information session. They are free. They Give you a breakdown of what’s needed, what classes to take and usually have professionals in the field so they can answer questions.
Perhaps this will help you decide if you really want to be a doctor or maybe there is something else of Interest to you.

Richard’s Answer

Yes! It is absolutely worth it. 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.
