"Actually being a math major helped solidify my decision to go into medicine. I enjoyed math but realized that I did not want to spend my life doing it and also wanted to work more closely with and on the behalf of others. After considering more math-related careers, I opted to go into medicine. Now as a plastic surgeon, I use basic (elementary school level) math to optimize my results."
"To carefully consider your personality traits and what makes you happy. Do you enjoy sitting in a room by yourself? Do you like to be surrounded by other people all the time?"
