what kind of specialty should i go into?

ever since reading ben carson's gifted hands, i've always wanted to be a neurosurgeon. now, i'm not so sure--i'm not sure if it justifies all the time spent at work and little time at home. if you want a way to sort of, kind of figure out what medical specialties might be good for you, take this quiz here.

you answer a hundred something questions and it spits out a list of medical specialties you might be fit in with. here's my score.
