I have what it takes, and everyone that knows me know that I have what it takes to become great and successful on whatever I want to become. The problem is, I'm torn between 3 things. Law, Medicine, or Education. Education, it sounds like a fun job to be a teacher. Taken the fact that I'm in school, a teacher's job seems easy and perfect.
I'm expected to go to law school. It seems like a great job. I don't mind going to school and climbing the ranks, but does it make enough money? This is my number one choice. I am intrigued in all the legal stuff. It sticks in my head. I love how the whole legal thing works.
Medicine, I want to be a surgeon or a doctor. THe only thing that seems wrong with it, is the fact that it's not law. Other than that, I like the idea. Also, the only part if Science that I'm interested in is human anatomy and psychology. I hate the whole biology and earth science.
What do you think is the wisest decision? The most stable prospect? Big pay??

If money is your most important criteria, be an attorney. But, be sure to go to one of the top law schools (Harvard, Yale, or Stanford) which means you have to do extremely well as an undergraduate in a very good college (not East Overshoe Community College).
Going into medicine for the money doesn't seem to be the right reason to go into medicine. The money is there, but I hope MY doctor isn't doing it just for the money.
Teaching in public schools can be great, but it doesn't pay very well at all in comparison with being an attorney or a medical doctor. Teaching in a top university (e.g Harvard Business School or Harvard Law School) can pay quite well, particularly with good consulting contracts on the side.
[BTW, you are torn "among" 3 choices. If you are torn "between" choices, there are only 2 of them. That's an important thing for either an attorney or a teacher to know.]
Good luck!

It sounds like you answered your own question hun. Your passion lies with the legal field. You need to go with law. Medicine is a very hard field because you have to learn a lot of science and if you are not exact you can kill someone. You could go with corporate law. That is one of the highest paying fields you can get into. Plus you are still within your scope. Good luck.

Best bet for making a good living is Medicine. Law can be financially rewarding sometimes but then again you might end up selling real estate. But whether you study medicine or law you can always get the satisfaction of teaching a class in your your particular discipline.

I personally believe that you should do something that you are going to enjoy in the long run. Something that will still intrigue you in about 15-20yrs, if it is a career you are willing to stick to. Other than that if the money's more important, then there you go....

"You are intrigued in all the legal stuff."
You may want to wait untill after your 1st year in college untill you decide to spend another 3 years and +$40,000 at least studying Law. Or medicine.

There's probably more money in medicine, unless you're a REALLY good liar and you get to defend rich people like paris hilton

you'll make more money in medicine, teachers don't make that much. A lot of people are handling their own legal affairs.
