Career Advice In Medical Field?

I?m a senior in college and graduating in 1 semester and I feel like I am having a midlife crisis in my 20?s. I?m a biology major, psychology minor and I really enjoy school and do really well, way above my class averages at my private college. I have always planned to attend medical school when I graduated, but ran into a few road blocks this past year when considering that decision? lowered GPA this past semester to a 3.3, financial issues such as paying to take MCAT to get into med school/ the large fees associated with applying for schools, and I am overwhelmed with that financial crisis I would get myself into DURING medical school such as playing for an apartment/bills etc, and the extensive amount of loans taken out. As an alternative, I considered becoming a pharmaceutical sales representative for a few years to save up for medical school. However, all of this confusion with my career path has led me to wonder what I am really interested in. For one, I am a very competitive individual. I have always felt the need to be the best, and perform the best in every aspect of my life. I need to feel a sense of accomplishment within my job and be recognized for my success and have some type of incentive and motivation to exceed within my career. I also need to be the boss, I cannot work under people telling me how to make my decisions when I am just as qualified and knowledgeable to make my own decisions (this is why I cannot be a physician?s assistant). I also would like to have a job that pays really well (140k or so) because I have paid out a ton of money on my 4 year private education, and making a good income is very important to me so I can comfortably support my future family.This past semester, I have been reconsidering my career as a physician because the majority of physicians I have shadowed seem unhappy with their career choice. I also feel like it is very repetitive (unless its emergency med), and physicians deal with the same issues on a day to day basis, there is no incentive to be competitive or anything to work towards such as a promotion or anything along those lines, which I consider very vital within a career that I would enjoy. Also, I have heard from many med students and physicians to not get into medicine for the money. Of course I have always wanted to go into the medical field because I feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in helping others, but I am by no means willing to accept the fact that I am going to be in debt until I?m 50 from schooling and potentially earn a salary which is comparable to some individuals that do not even hold a bachelors degree (pediatricians, family practice, which was my main interest). I am just curious if there are any careers available that fit my competitive personality that will also satisfy my need to feel accomplished and exceed to be the best within my career in the health field, or if I should just stick to pharmaceutical sales, or to med school. I am just really overwhelmed with all the decisions that need to be made so quick about my future, and I would really appreciate any advice from any career advisors or any individuals within the health field!
