Default Anyone a Doctor or Studying to be one?

I'm considering taking pre-med courses in College ( I'm in High School right now ) to study and eventually become a pediatrician.

Is anyone here a doctor or studying to be one?

If you are... what were you grades like in school? And what schools did you go to?

Thanks. Just general questions since I don't personally know anyone close that is a doctor ( except for my doctor lol )

Also need to watch out for the brown-skinned doctors.

Amen! They're the worst! I'd never be treated by one!

Whatever happened to Zomax anyway?


I'm considering going into the medical profession. I just started college over the summer so I have some time before I actually decide what I want to do with my life. A lot of my dad's cousins and friends are doctors so they've offered to help me as much as possible but I'm not sure if I want to spend the next 7+ years studying to become a doctor--- even though the pay sounds pretty good.
My parents are pushing me into becoming a doctor, but . I guess time will tell if I genuinely find interest in becoming a doctor of some sort.

Doctors never want to be doctors because of the pay Its not all that great in reference to the bills you'll take on while in college.

Be a doctor because you have a passion for it, heck, be anything you have a passion for and while you're at it... only do it if you're going to be the best at it.

I know that but I just wanted to mention that the pay isn't bad. If I do become serious about becoming a doctor, I'm not going to do it because I want to get paid a lot.
