I'm so confused. After switching my major 3 times already, I decided to become a lawyer. I've always thought about a career in medicine, and I've been tossing the idea in my head the past few weeks. I'm just so confused and I don't know what to do. The main reason I want to become a Dr is to obviously help people, but also the money. Everyone I know has always told me to pursue law, since it's something I have a passion for. But I feel that there is a surplus of lawyers. Any suggestions?

your going to have to decide what you will enjoy doing for the rest of your life,heard doctors have very long hours;why don't you talk to some doctors and lawyers that have been in the business for a long time to get an idea of how it really is;good luck ;both pay very good.

Well, help is much needed in the health care industry, and I have to say that your career as a doctor vs. a lawyer would probaly be more rewarding. I'm not sure what your chances of making more money as a doctor over a lawyer are, but I know if I had to make the decision, if you have any interest in the medical field, I would go that route.
I'm sure to some degree both of those occupations, like many, are thankless in some aspects, but as a doctor, you will recieve more acknowledgment, appreciation, and mental rewards than as a lawyer. And you will still have to deal with moral, ethical, and legal issues the way lawyers do if debating principles was part of your interest in becoming a lawyer.
Of course, you can do whatever you wish, and this is only my opinion, but that's what you were asking for, and that's the best answer I can come up with. Good luck :D!

Don't go into either profession for the money. Medicine is a very demanding career. Plan to work holidays, weekends and odd hours. You must stick to a major and finish undergrad then see what med school or law school you can get into.

Neither.
You are obviously going to fail as you have no passion for either....
