Thinking of a course in college

I've asked a lot of people what course suites best... I cant seem to decide...
Since I was a child, I always wanted to be a doctor(specifically a pediatrician). Though sometimes I get scared of hollow and dark places and come to think of supernatural things. Yeah I know it's childish but... I'm still young...I guess...
The main point is I don't know what's best for me. I love Biology and Chemistry and also Mathematics. I love English and Language/Reading. Some say being a lawyer fits me due to my strong confidence and I am tough .I dont want to be involved in those things... Architecture is also nice or even IT though... I dont want boredom to strike me from time to time..

So how about you guys? Any problems similar or maybe advises?

Study whatever feels appealing to you, provided there are realistic career options that your studies could lead to. If your heart isn't in something, life will be less enjoyable. If your studies aren't actually useful, you will be well educated and earning minimum wage.

Well I really want to be a pediatrician but my fear.... A lot of people tell me I can overcome it if I just try...

I used to work in hospitals in London and New Zealand, and I asked doctors about that. They told me its not as bad as it sounds. They don't have you performing open heart surgery in the first week. The studies take a long time, and during that period tou slowly build up to those things that seem scary at the start. By that time it's not so scary.

Sorry about that. I tend to use Critters in reference to just about everything biological. Bugs, Bacteria, cats, dogs... critters and indeed they are VERY interesting.

Bio Engineering is more than just Viruses and WMDs. Bio Engineering includes bio-diversity and all hosts of medical study.

The Philippines much like other Biologically diverse locations are gold mines for cures, polymers, new foods, cosmetics and a mess tone of other things.

Well that I can tell you that Filipinos are quite creative. They've made the Banaue Rice Terraces using their bare hands and it is now a tourist attraction!

lol Indeed. Side note Ancient Architecture is a fun past time for me.

Anyway what are YOUR interests? What do you love doing? There should be a field for it.
