Well, let's dive into this. It's not a straightforward answer, you see. The majority of my schoolmates hailed from families with a doctor in the mix. Besides that, they had been assisted by a chiropractor at some point, and there were all sorts of tales about that. My own experience is a bit different, as it was my brother who was aided and spared from back surgery. This was quite remarkable to me, a college student at the time, unsure of my future direction. All I knew was that I wanted to be my own boss.

I considered teaching, which is indeed a noble profession. However, most self-employment opportunities seemed to involve starting a business. So, the idea of becoming a doctor appealed to me. Sure, you could work in a large clinic, but there's a lot of autonomy too. You could even set up your own clinic if you have an entrepreneurial spirit. This seemed like a good fit for me, and I knew it would provide a better income.

But there's more to it than that. You also need to have a genuine desire to help people, and even enjoy being around them. It's tough to pinpoint what else factored into my decision, but it was just a tad different from most.
