Keep in mind that your life, if and when you decide to get into the medical field will largly be what you bring into it. I started out as a Diving Medical Technician, your basic A-EMT-D with training in hyperbaric medicine. When I did start work in hospital, I started as an ER-tech, and progressed to working in the surgical wing as a scrub nurse - first assist, meaning you take the place of a surgeon under the guidance of the attending surgeon. Life was great, but over time you can get sick of working odd hours, under heavy stress, on call all the time, and sometimes under a lot of unnecessary bullshit. I have told many a Doc to go f-themself, that I was an employee of the hospital and not at their beckon call, nore was I there to take their abuse. When you get that thru to the ones who need it all is well. Mind you not all DR are pricks and not all head nurses are the wonderful women on tv. You will be under trial until they know your abilities, always strive to get better, remember that your there for the patient, but more important, be there for you.

I'm a doctor, and my life is great. I love what I do, and I work with a bunch of terrific people (most of the time). It was a tough road to get here, but now, life is good.
