Is the destination worth it still?
I'm going to taking my first steps towards a undergraduate degree aimed at medical school acceptance in two months from now, and my first baby steps to ultimately a career in medicine.... possibly. I want to know from those who have it best, MD's in America, if the prize at the end is worth it.
