I'd be something fun, not sure what it would be

I had the same dilemma a few years ago. High grades used to be my number one priority, I won every school related competition, was interested in physics etc. But I also loved doing animations and games in free time. What to do, right? Go the route with high social status, get a respected job? Or lose yourself in your passion?

There's no point in filling other people's expectations. Do the thing you have always wanted to do, after all, you've only got one life to live. It's better to take a shot at living your dream than having the 'what if?' stuck in your head for the rest of your life.

Go with the games, man. It's the highest form of art.

First off, do YOU actually want to be a doctor? Do you enjoy the medical department?

If you do, why not do both? I know being a doctor takes up almost all of your time, but that doesn't mean you won't have alone time to make a little something something. The game industry goes two ways - being in a company and being indie. In our current situation, the company thing is difficult. If you're a real gamer and know what makes a good game, you can make a little something something to release on the App Store and make bank.

It's always best to learn many different things than to specialise in just one area.
