@MishaChan05 If you want a good salary, yet an easier pursuit, take up engineering or work in IT. Both take less than 6 years to achieve, yet the you'll experience beautiful courses in mathematics and advanced physics

don't forget that even once you become a surgeon you still have to go to classes, lectures and demonstrations to learn new techniques and learn how to operate new instruments and machines that are invented every so often.
