Should I go to med school or study electrical engineering? I really can't decide, what's the best way to pick one?

If I became a doctor I'd like to help people to cure themselves, help them when they get sick, to prevent things before they get worse. With electrical engineering it would be to invent things and stuff.

If you've got the grades for it and actually really WANT to be a doctor, and want it for more than just the money, then go med school. But that want is the most important thing. Medical school is expensive as fuck and from all I've heard it's grueling. You have to really really want it. Otherwise, electrician, the work is always in demand and if you stick with it long enough you eventually will be making good money, probably rivaling or eclipsing some of the lower pay medical specialties.

Dude if you really want to invent things do mechatronics or mechanical engineering

Med school. Someone is always dying.

When I worked for a surgeon for a few years, he asked me if I wanted to attend the medical school where he was a professor. I said no thanks, because I had seen how hard doctors had to work to get through. It fucking takes years, and then they still have to kill themselves working. Go EE: 6 years and you've got an ME. Get good jobs and still go home at night and relax. Take vacations. No BS on call for years and years. No hefty malpractice insurance.
