I remember one professor in particular who said I would be wasting my talent in medical school. Anyway, I'm now a professor at a major research university - and I'm doing exactly the kind of research I had envisioned when I was younger. Think long and hard about the decision.
Interesting post!

I can't wait to see what MBHockey thinks about what you've said.
