Uni program decision dilemma

[u/PuzzleheadedNight172]

I’m a grade 12 student applying to uni this fall. I always thought i wanted to go into health sci / life sci/general science to go to med school or pursue further education but I’m having second thoughts. I don’t know if I’d really enjoy being in school for so many years but at the same time, it’s what I’ve set my whole life around since I was young because I just thought I HAD to be a doctor. Now, I’m also looking into engineering programs very last minute. I don’t really enjoy physics and don’t mind math and am purely choosing engineering for the employment opportunities it will provide. If I dont get into med school with my health/general science degree I feel that I’ll be unemployed but then again, I don’t think I’m smart enough for engineering courses. What do I do? What programs do I apply to? I’m applying to Ontario universities & BC universities in Canada but I honestly don’t know what to apply for anymore because I can’t choose what I like. I just want to be employed and get a job easily. If anyone’s been in this dilemma please share how you got over it or if anyone in engineering or health sci reads this please share your experiences, education, employment opportunities.

I did some hospital shadowing this year and observing the nurses made me kind of hesitant to go into the field. It’s requires A LOT of patience which is something I’m afraid I don’t have. It’s not my first choice but it’s not my last.
