The pay and work hours at the so-called 'regional' airlines are poor. And there are no guarantees for bigger planes or better jobs. But if it is in your blood there is not much you can do about it.
Still, I would stick to med school.
Think long and hard and REALLY know why you want to become a doctor. Wanting to change the world, help people, and/or because something in your life made you want to do this will never get you in. Shadow a doctor for 3 or 4 months or at the least work in an ER. You might change your mind! Talk to a doctor also.
Then again, I know 100 pilots who say run from aviation!
