Relax, I am 25 and the same way. But how do you know you aren't smart enough to be a doctor? Have you failed out of med school? Did you have ambition and good study habits? If you are interested in medicine and health I am sure there are a lot of related fields that are not so intensive - maybe something like physical therapy.

I've left two jobs in about a year and now I can't get another one - I've been unemployed like 9 months, living with my parents for 6 months. For a while I was nervous but now I just don't care. I've realized applying to the jobs I've been targeting makes me kind of nauseous, so I think I am just going to say screw it and go to school for something I am interested in. I think with some manual labor and blogging I should be able to pay my way through it. I can't say I know what I want to study, but its bound to be a better shot than just picking a major that my parents were happy with like the first time around.
