My friend echoed this sentiment to the dot: that she funds medicine to be repetitive and boring, and that you don't have to be that smart to be good at it. She wishes that a particular mutual friend of ours had chosen physics instead of medicine in undergrad, because said girl excelled to the degree that the Princeton physics department reached out to ask her to major in physics (though this was probably partly motivated by the fact that the physics department had zero female majors that year). We feel that in a way, a great mind was put to poor use by her choosing medicine.
