What are some medical professions that are worth it?

Hey everyone! Currently I’m 21 yrs and am working as an industrial medic (OFA3/EMR). In 2028 I am looking at doing my PCP and then applying to work in the mines/ambo for a bit.

However, in my late 20s I want to go back to school and get my Bachelor’s in Health science (PCP has 30 transferable credits) and then go to med school.

I still don’t know what I want to do in med school. Originally I was thinking surgery but by then I’ll most likely want a job that I only have to work 3-4 days a week.

Any suggestions? I know that there’s SO much out there and would love to hear about it. Google just gives me the same 15 jobs

(Note: I really like the human body and think that the internal organs are super interesting. Also I have debated about going to ACP and doing “air surgery” but again, I do a lot of travelling already and want to be able to settle down after all my schooling.)
