My viewpoint is: Obtain the highest education you can. If you want to become a physician, then stick to it and learn it as a career since you "obsess" over it. Once you reach university, you'll probably quickly find your mind changes. In the first years, you should be getting all A's. B's and C's shouldn't present themselves until you're tackling multiple difficult courses...advanced physics, physical chemistry, etc. I took this track for several years and decided it just wasn't what I wanted to do. I didn't want to dedicate the next ten years of my life to it.
A LOT of people start out in such courses or say they "want to be a doctor" - but it's really just for show because everyone wants to seem able and successful. 99% of those wanna-be's change their majors.
If you can do it, then do it. You'll have plenty of time later in life to enjoy the arts and such. However, if you want a career in the arts, then make that your goal - even if society doesn't view them as successful as "doctors."
Is it normal to deliberately choose the wrong career?
