Where I live you don´t earn much when you are a doctor of medicine (except for dentists, they really are rich),but still a lot of people wants to study it,true. Actually, I study medicine and I went there because I was interested only in one specific field of medicine, but it´s true the school gives you huge amount of knowledge about human health and illness and shows you different view on life,maybe... also one´s lifestyle changes completely(but I honestly don´t think it´s better now).. but still there´s something, what makes medicine being a different world, unlike the other schools...maybe the huge pressure what is put on you and causes so much stress... ?
