I am in hight school and after 6 months I will have final exams so I have to decide now what to choose. Both, programming and neurology (or neurobiology, psychiatry) interest me, but there are different pros and cons.
Programming will give me more freedom, independance, money, and easy life (I think). After 1 year in college I can get first job or grant which give me money independace from my parents. Also I heard many INTPs enjoy it and for me it's OK.
Neurobiology isn't as easy. I must finish 6 years medicine, boring college. There are no grants, there will be no time for job. There are a lot of stiupid subjects as anatomy or history of medicine. With my character I don't know if I will be strong enough to learn such a stiupid things... But after there is a lot of possibilities. I can be a proffesor (but next 10 years of learning is required....) or nerobiologyst, psychiatrist (after 6 years....), make research, maybe discover something very important. I always was interested about human brain, psychology, people... but I don't know if this is worth theese long and boring years... (more than 15 years to become proffesor). As I wrote, I want to discover something and become famous. Or become someone like House. I want be a genius.
However now, I don't even know what to choose. It's sad that I can't choose both :/
