Sports Medicine Career Path...?
The biggest question is do you want to help people get better? Secondly, do you enjoy working with athletes and helping them get better so that they can compete at their hightest level? As far as courses go, it would probably be easier for you if you enjoyed biology because you would see it as fascinating and fun to learn rather than a course your required to take. As far as needles go, I shadowed a sports medicine doctor at a clinic for 6 weeks and yes, he did in fact inject medication into people. However, it was awesome! He showed me how to properly do the injection and afterwards the patient was already expressing relief (it was a numbing injection into the elbow to reduce intense pain in the area from overuse). And finally, yes medical school is very hard, but it's hard for a reason. Would you want someone who went through an "easy" medical school to treat you? Heck no! You want someone who knows exactly what they're doing and capable to ensure that you're getting the best form of care you need. However, adding onto that, people are still accepted into medical school so it isn't impossible or anything like that, but it is difficult. Lastly, I would love to recommend this field to you because it is amazing. If you love sports and you love helping people get better, combine the two, and boom! Sports Medicine. But, I don't know you very well so it's ultimately up to you. One more thing I suggest is look into being a Physician Assistant. You only go through 2 years of school and you do exactly what a doctor does, but there are only some limitations (i.e. you can't open/ run your own clinic, you will always be under supervision of a doctor). Anyways, I hoped this helped!
Law or medicine?
I'm still in secondary school so I don't really need to be choicing my career, but I want to have an aim eventually and I need some opinions! I'm intrested in both law and medicine (probably surgeory), which one do you think is more rewarding? easier/harder? more enjoyable? how long is it in law school/ med school? Anything else... Thanks in advance =)

HELP! Law, business, or medicine?
I think if you were to major in Business your languages could help you more than the others, you could be in International stuff. If I were you I would go for medicine! Lawyers are pretty much not getting any money anymore 10 years ago they were making a lot of money! But with the economy now( and in the future because it is just getting worse) they are ripping people off for every little dollar to make money and now there's so much assistance to help pay and stuff you are not going to make what you think you will. It is not worth the debt and you will probably not even work in that major once you Grad. it is soo bad! If you go into medicine Go into Anesthesiology that Is what I was going to do. They are one of the highest paying doctors and their demand is going to go up by 18% within like 5 years which is awesome because a lot are going down! And with the population increasing and less and less people choosing medicine because of the time, there will be a shortage of doctors. What does this mean for you? A BUNCH OF MONEY! because less doctors are going to be available you will be able to charge unbelievable amounts of money for your services and get lots of patients!
Career change from Business to Medicine. HELP?
You are certainly not too old. The average age of a 1st year med student is 25. There are plenty of "older" students. It is great that you have a background in business. Many doctors don't know the first thing about business and end up managing their money / finances so poorly. Everything is business so that is a huge benefit you have that wouldn't affect your chances at medical school. It may even help you separate from the hordes of bio majors. To apply to med school you need to take the science pre-req's and you need to take the MCAT along letters of recc. You don't need a bachelors in biology. You can major in anything you want as long as you take the core sciences required to apply. Those are bio I/II, gen chem I/II, organic chem I/II, physics I/II, math up to calculus, and biochem is highly recommended. Will take you 2 years most likely. Perhaps if your school offers some of those during the summer you could cut it down a semester. If I were in your shoes I would probably finish my degree in finance and then take the science pre-req's. It may seem like such a long time but one year is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Having that finance degree would be a good backup and a solid thing to have on your resume for the future. Getting into med school is hard and if you don't end up getting in after dropping from the business route ... would be problematic. However... if you are 100% certain that medicine is what you want you could find the fastest route to getting a bachelors (that could probably still be getting your finance degree) while taking the sciences you need to apply. Bottom line ... work hard and do well in those sciences / MCAT and you will get in. Don't rush things and end up screwing yourself trying to save a year. I worked for 2 years before med school and I am glad I did. Gave me a lot more maturity and motivation. I don't think I would have done nearly as well fresh out of college.
What is a better career path in the United States, optometry or law?
Well, this is not exactly an easy question, is it? They are two very different fields, and so, it isn’t as if I can compare them. Are you passionate about either one? If so, that is the better career path. If you are not passionate about either one, I suggest you stay away from law, simply because being a lawyer is really not the best field to choose just because. You should only choose it because it is something you really want to do.I am not familiar with optometry beyond seeing an optometrist. But it seems like a pretty cool field to me. Seems like you need to go to college and then go on to an optometrists’ school. The salary is nice at over 100k at the median. You can certainly live a good life on that. I bet if you open your own practice you can do very well. There aren’t as many optometrists as there are lawyers, not even close. So that is a good thing. Also, there is good job growth according to various websites.Therefore, no passion, equal view towards one or the other? I’d go optometrist.
What is easier: law school or medicine?
Each will deal with a different set of skills. So for example, you're going to find medicine difficult: if you're squeamish, if you dislike memorizing the details life processes, if mathematics and chemistry and biology weren't your forte in high school.You'd find law difficult: if you dislike writing long essays and doing lots of research, if english, literature, business economics and additional languages weren't your forte in high school. One thing that's certain is that the difficulty of a subject is dependent on a student's natural capacity, as opposed to some external force that determines difficulty. Mathematics is seen as 'more difficult' than languages because most people's brains are naturally oriented towards communicating in words as opposed to numbers. So what's difficult to the majority will also be the general standard that determines what's easier, but this definition will never cater to individuals. So for some individuals (such as certain autistic individuals), languages will be more difficult because their brains are oriented towards communicating in numbers. But for law and medicine, I'd say they're pretty evenly matched in the general conception of difficulty. Physics and mathematics would be a few rungs above, I'd imagine.
Should I go to medical school or to law school?
I have read other responses to this question on Yahoo answers, but usually the askers are still in high school. This is a serious question, and I would appreciate any real/helpful advice people may have for me. I am 23 years old, and will be graduating with a BA in psychology next year (likely in the winter term, so Winter 2015/2016). I love the understanding and context that psychology gives me, and I am very happy with my choice. However, I want to go to grad school. There is nothing that makes me feel better than helping people, so I feel that being a lawyer or doctor would give me an avenue to make a positive impact in people's lives (and make a living from it... I volunteer all the time but oy vey, nobody pays!) My personal passion is health and wellness. I used to study Grey's Anatomy for fun when I couldn't sleep and I just love the human body, and anything to do with illness recovery (not so much illness itself though.... ew). I even enroll in extra courses on Coursera to do with physiology and medicine. I would want to be a primary care physician if I were to focus on this path. On the other hand, I feel that the above is not in line with what the world "needs" necessarily. I think we have huge policy concerns (where I live, but I guess everywhere else too). I would want to pursue environmental law if I were to become a lawyer. I don't know much about law itself, but I have made a big effort to read about climate change and climate change reports/policies etc. I think there's a lot of good to be done that can help both humans and other animal species, and ecosystems in general. How do I choose? I find that living in a limbo (without a clear direction) is dampening my motivation to do well in life and to live fully, not to mention I never know what opportunities to seek to ameliorate my resumee for grad school application.
Is a career in video games the right path for me?
I'm currently a sophomore in high school and I've been thinking about what I want to do after school. I would consider myself fairly successful; I am a straight A student currently taking 2 AP classes (World history and Chemistry), 3 Honors classes (English, precalculus, and Spanish), and 2 extra curriculars (Marching band and Drum line). So far I've taken as many hard classes as possible because it seemed like the right thing to do, and I know that hard classes are needed to have a job in a high career such as a doctor or a lawyer. Now I have been thinking of a career that I would enjoy, and the career that I thought of was not a doctor or lawyer, but a career in video games. I realized that if I were to stick to this career that I would need to take different classes than the ones I currently plan on taking next year. My questions are: Is it worth having a career in video games (something I truly enjoy) rather than a career in medicine or law (something that i would have to kill myself to achieve and end up successful, but unhappy)? If it is worth it, which classes do you think I should take for the remainder of high school (note: I have 2 years worth of technology credits)? If I were to take up this career, are there any specific colleges in California that offer good opportunities? Thanks in advance.
