... right now I'm at a crossroads between a future of medicine and singing. I know I shouldn't ask random strangers about my future, but I just would really appreciate your opinions.
Why medicine? I've always had this innate feeling to help people, even hopefully as a career. I think being a doctor (even psychologists), who go through all that work are noble just because they want to help. I think I have potential, I know I have the academic potential too. And I know I'd probably like the daily problems and tasks that I need to speculate and answer, I'm kind of a deep thinker. Plus there's benefits like money, pride of others, and I secretly just like the "Dr." label. But my worry is what if I may end up being stressed and unhappy with my life. I want to experience a social life and enjoy a bit of freedom. Plus there are money issues too, but I think there are loans or scholarships out there for me. I've also thought about being a physician's assistant, if being a doctor is too much.
Then there's my passion for creativity. I know that as an artist I'd live doing something that makes me happy, and I could try new things everyday. My friends think I should. I'd probably will have a more free social and personal life. I know that being too focused on my academics makes me forget about that creative side of myself, and I've found that I end up in a bit of a loss and sad I'm not singing anymore. But my fears are that art won't really get me anywhere, maybe even a lost dream. I just don't want to end up starving and regretting not going the logical way.
Should I be a doctor or a singer?
I've been thinking about my future lately before I graduate high school (currently a junior) and?

It sounds like you have a stronger pull in the medicine field and you can always admit that there are stronger medicine ties out there and you'll always have a job in the healthcare field there is such a high success rate the singing career could take a longer time to get situated.
It's okay if you really love medical stuff BUT you need to know there's no job in the world is EASY. We need to work hard to achieve anything we want. I've heard that being a doctor you need to study lots of medic acknowledges for 10+years and I know thats not easy BUT if you really wants to be a doctor, sure you can! Being a singer is depends on your socialism...if you don't have like many friends and does not talk a lot..nervous to try new things and others..You better not be a singer because every first,second,third or MORE album from you must be a good seller so you got your first step in getting famous. Being a singer won't lead you to a poor life but diet always is a must and I can really tell you if you are a very famous singer you can earn lots more than a doctor. But of course,friends are always important to help you with your "singer" dream. GOOD LUCK!
