Should i consider med school ? or just forget about it?

Med school is a LOT of work -- long hours studying, lots of memorization (there's a lot that you MUST memorize to be a doctor -- bones, muscles, diseases, symptoms, etc.), and then more hours doing your residency once you get your degree. Doctors do see a lot of gross things -- bizarre injuries, ugly skin diseases, surgery -- that the average person doesn't have to see. It's a huge commitment of time, energy and money. It takes an absolute commitment to the profession to see it through. If you're at all unsure about medicine as a career choice, then it's probably not the right career for you. Finish your current degree and see how that works out for you. You can always go for med school later.
