At what age did you know you wanted to be a doctor?

Probably grade 11, once we started doing dissections and it was the first time that I actually saw what was INSIDE the body rather than just diagrams/pictures etc.

 

However, I did consider a couple of other careers before that including accounting (thought I was good at math so...) and computer engineering (when it was the THING to be in the early-mid 2000s)

Found out about it during high school around grade 10 in career studies class. Did some soul searching, found out med was a viable option for me then went along to pursue it (Although I had no idea what it takes or how hard it is to get into med at that time).
