Define healthcare. If you want to follow the traditional path of getting a medicine degree as I did( currently 2nd year in a hospital, the system in my country is different so I don't know exactly how this translates into USA terms), I can tell you right now that the day to day life can actually be really satisfying depending on the choices you make inside. Every specialty( assuming you even chase one) has a unique way of thinking and many many sub-specialties inside where you get to wrestle with the current cutting edge problems. Then of course there is research( poorly paid for the cost) that's it's own thing. So 1) you are postponing your decision until you have more data to decide and 2) you still keep yourself open to many possibilities from more practical specialties like the various surgical ones to more theory-heavy ones like pathology/ID/hematology or being buried in a lab( microbiology etc) to a medium in between( cardiology) or even a more humanitarian one( psychiatry). Each with their own unique feel and algorithms. Ultimately you will still have to choose between what you like and what's important. I am lucky that I like something I consider also extremely important( cardiology). Then you can choose if you want to have a broader view of the subject or specialize a lot into something and becoming the best on it( extra specializations e.g. arrythmiology etc). Ultimately whatever one might choose will always have a very strong feedback loop of improving other peoples' lives and the value of this can't be overstated. Plus the pay is good.
