Career choices for the future

Hi everyone.
Use this discussion to share your career ideas for the future and recommend some to others!
So, for me I've always wanted to be a doctor but now seeing the reality of it is making me doubt myself. This is because I don't want to dedicate 10 years (or more) to studying and then working as a doctor. I've considered doing nursing (3yr course) and while earning also studying to be a anethesist or something similar as that takes a long time to be as well. I've also considered doing paramedics but the pay is extremely less compared to the amount of work they do. Nurses also have a low pay but, I feel like I will be able to study more while working as a nurse, cuz being a paramedic is intense.
What are your guys' thoughts for the future?

Nurses have an extremely arduous job, which isn't less "intense" than other professions in allied health. They also have had a 28.4% increase in pay over the next four years (at least in Victoria) which is going to be quite similar to the pay of a junior doctor. Something to consider.
