What is the med school like?

I'm finishing my sophomore year, halfway to a CS degree, but I think it's dumb, and I want to switch to physics, but it'll be hard. Or math, which will be easier. I'm going to med school after. Is physics useful enough? What should I do?

• I'm currently a sophomore (so finishing up my second year) and want to get some of your guys's opinions on this matter. I'm on track to finish a degree in CS while finishing premed requirements, and then head off to med school after graduating. The thing is, though, I don't like CS. I'm close to finishing (I can finish the major in one more year if I take a normal courseload) but I think it's just dumb and I don't like identifying with the people. I also don't like sitting in front of the computer, which tends to happen to CS majors, surprise. I also don't think CS is the closest thing to medicine. I guess CS is just the "default" major that people jump to at my school, since it makes you seem "smart" and my school's CS department has a great reputation. (please.)  So, in light of all that, I'm considering switching my major to physics. I think it will be more relevant to medicine, and I won't have to sit in front of the computer all day. Also, I refuse to major in something like biology, please don't suggest that. However, the workload will be pretty heavy the next two years and I'm not sure I'll get the most out of the physics major by switching at this point, for I haven't taken any upper divisions.  I don't know what to do -- what do you guys think? Should I just suck it up and finish my CS major (despite loathing it) or switch to physics? Are there any physics majors out there who could comment on how useful it the major is, perhaps to medicine?  I could also switch to math, which would be easy (I'm a math person) but questionable in terms of usefulness after graduation.  tl;dr I'm halfway to a CS degree, but I think it's dumb, and I want to switch to physics, but it'll be hard. Or math. I'm going to med school after. What should I do?

• Answer:

  Since you are close to completion of your CS, finish it. A few terms is not that bad. With physics, you might likely set back your schedule by 2-3 years.
