Question

Doctor VS Computer Science VS Banker?? Which Is The Best Profession And Why.. List Of Pros And Cons Will Be Helpful.. ​

Answer 1

Come from a family of doctors. If you're debating between the two, don't choose medicine. As a lot of doctors have said, only choose medicine when you couldn't imagine yourself happy in any other career.

Here are the pros and cons:

Medicine

Pros:

Status (you're "doctor" so-and-so)

Improving people's health in a tangible way

You can be a lifelong learner, there are so many specialties, so much to learn, you'll never get bored

After grueling, expensive medical school and long residency, you're making a very nice salary (but you're worse off in the long term because of the opportunity cost and debt)

You'll never be unemployed

Cons:

Years and years of school, so terrible decision financially. If you put the same effort that a doctor puts into becoming a doctor into your CS career, you'd end up way ahead

Tons of government regulation

Insurance

Tons of stress

Tons of hours

Many regret going into medicine

2x more likely to commit suicide

Generally not very happy

Computer Science

Pros:

Better lifestyle/work-life balance

Awesome pay, especially if you work as hard as a doctor and get into a tech company like Google or Facebook

Tech is the future, software is eating the world. Get into a hot space and you could be riding a steep upward trend throughout your career

Tons of arenas to play in. If you want to work in healthcare, you can become a data scientist and help predict cancer earlier and save tons of lives with your computer science knowledge. You can start a startup. Or work for the government. Or work in finance and make the big bucks. Or become a consultant.

High demand for your skills

People will know you're smart ;)

Cons:

Potential for outsourcing/automation for certain jobs

You have to always be learning

Cognitively intense work

A degree of stress

Less tangibly impactful than medicine in many cases

Agism and sexism
