I know some of the general courses for the medical field I'd chosen had me questioning whether I had made a mistake; I have also heard this from others as well. When we got into the upper level ones, it helped confirm whether we were in the right field. I also know from past experience it has let me know I was in the wrong field when I got into the upper level ones. This is more helpful to base a decision on than the lower level ones. I now know I have made the correct decision and loving these upper level classes, even for as tough as they are; they are much more interesting.

However, in the interim, I went back and did some job shadowing and informational interviewing to be sure on a day to day basis that the medical field I choose was what I was really interested in and to help ease the doubts, as well affirming my resolve to get through these other courses that were questionable, but necessary. It really helped to do, now and in the past, for any field interested in.
