What are good careers for those not sure about medicine?

[GreekIsleSunset]

Hello. I just finished reading a few threads about those who regret going into medicine and a number of people said that they think other careers would have provided more income with less stress and greater freedom. I am wondering what careers they might be talking about?

For someone considering medicine and who has the skills (drive, intelligence,scientific inclination) what opportunities are there instead?

I agree with the above poster too about PharmD, especially working as a PharmD in a hospital. It seems like the PharmDs in the major drug store chains have things kinda tough (in terms of being harassed by customers all the time about random lame stuff) but I think the PharmDs in the hospitals have it pretty good.
