It’s difficult to tell. Just because you don’t have a passion for jobs in the health field does not mean you won’t like it when you enter it. You might find that its right up your alley or you just might dread going to work every day. Finance and stability are always going to be important no matter what and being able to make the decision to switch career fields to better provide for you or your family is perfectly normal. But I only caution those who go into the health care field only for the financial rewards. For example dentistry; the course loads, work load, study time, and persistency required to even get into dental school is very challenging; so is dental school itself by the way. By the time you get to the stage of applying for dental school, those who were in it for the money or prestige are usually weeded out because lack of drive, inadequate passion to pursue the profession, or just poor grades in the math and science classes. I guess what ‘m trying to say is that if there is no passion behind it, it becomes even more difficult to pursue professions like doctor or dentistry; not impossible, just harder.
