Medical Malpractice

What career should I go in Medical Or Law??

I started out wanting to be a lawyer because I really like to talk and argue, but is it hard to become one of those lawyers that make a lot of money? Medical I just started wanting to do it. I want to become a pediatrician, but my only thing was do you have to look in a microscope a lot and is medical school hard?? And I love little kids, ( I know about big kids too) PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! I just want advice and if you have answers to any of the questions!! Thanks ahead of time! I'm 13 so I really don't know what to expect..

1. Both careers are rigourous and demanding, and based on your questions, it does not seem that you have a grasp of what it takes to be either a lawyer or doctor. Talk to career counselling at school, and try and set up informational interviews with people in the field now. Med school usually cost upwards of $250K before you get out and can practice 7 years after college, while I know a lot of lawyers that hated the associate track at big law firms where you work 100 hoiurs for the first 7 years and pray you get to be one of those big time lawyers. tba
