I'm 38 y/o and have just started working my "dream" job. And I don't 100% love it. However, the starting pay is great and will only increase. What I would absolutely have loved to do is be a musician, and I was a music major. But I had to mix doing something I like with following what would actually land me a reliable job, so I chose medicine. And again, I don't love it 100%, but I don't hate it. I like that I am scheduled 3 days a week because I work 12 hour shifts, and I tend to have 3 or 4 days off in a row. And I just plain like the medical field.

I was out with some colleagues last night, and we were all discussing if we'd choose medicine again. Most of them said no. It's pretty effing hard. But none of us would change it at this point.
