Default "How to Pick a Good Medical Field"

Can someone pleeeeeaaaasssee tell me how to go about picking the right medical field that best suits me? What are some of the criteria that should be used when picking the right field?
I can't help but look at the compensation... What else should one look at?

haha yeah, it actually didn't really help me all that much either....it gave me some weird choice as my #1 recommended field..

What do you think about anesthesia? Making money to put people to sleep sounds easy enough, right?

I think that the best medical field for a person would be the one that interests them.
I say this because then the person wont think of the job as something they have to do, but rather something they want to do.

A job's a job, unless you're a secret agent, or, ice cream taste tester.

this is actually a very intresting subject!! I have just graduated and I have to go first through my internship year.. I know many countries don't have this system any more but we do..
Many of our interns decide what they really want to do by the end of this year.. they believe that what you like as a student will not necesserly what you will like as a doctor with real responsibilities..
I liked surgery as a student, but I don't know if i will still like it as a doctor!! I hope i will!!!
