From that perspective, becoming a research scientist/professor would probably be better (besides perhaps for the pay)- that way you don’t have to deal with med school and any stuff that comes with it.
But that’s not a decision people often make- “I don’t know what I want to be, hey, I’ll start the 10-12 year path toward a career as a pathologist because it has good hours.” People often don’t pick their specialties until the last year of med school.
Just saying that maybe it works but it’s a super random suggestion.
