Rahl has a spectacular aura about
Should I change my college career path?

So heres my deal. I am a sophomore at DeVry University, studying Electrical Engineering. I like technology, I like putting things together, but this has always been hand in hand with medicine. I have been getting a very strong liking to the medical field, more specifically in the surgical area, and I am at a standstill. I am not sure whether I should pursue my surgeon dream or stay at DeVry and finish up my engineering degree, and even then, if I should continue to go to med school. I don't really have ANY experience in the medical fields, just a strong feeling that it is something I truly would love doing.

As we all know, medical school isn't something you just jump into, or pay for right off the bat. Average time for a medical student is 6 years. So this is making my decision even harder.

Advice and help is much appreciated. Especially from surgeons.
