I got a CS in IIT Delhi and an MBBS in Haldwani Medical College. Which should I choose?

This is a very common debate sparked among aspirants who aren't sure of which field to enter that will shape their career in the best possible way. While the final decision can be taken by the individual itself, a few basic points of comparison below might help you make a more informed decision.

• Engineering covers a short duration of 4 years while Medical requires a long commitment of 6-7 years.
• Engineering is no doubt easier than medicine and has more practical concepts while medical studies require mugging up of thick books 
• The job opportunities in Engineering are highly competitive due to the large supply whereas medical professionals are in high demand due to short supply
• Job stability is higher for medical professionals than engineers
• The working environment of medical professionals is very challenging and unpredictable whereas engineers have a relatively smooth working environment. 
• Very few and demanding higher study options are available in the medical field whereas engineering has a lot of higher study options like master's, Ph.D., and MBA
• Engineers usually work under other higher authorities while medical professionals set up their private practices quite early.
• There are more options for engineers to settle abroad than Medical professionals.
• As an engineer, you keep learning and upgrading your skills throughout your life while doctors learn once and spend the rest of their life practicing what they have learned.

Both fields offer contrasting opportunities and lifestyles and ultimately you need to choose the one that inclines with the expectations of your future.
