Medicine pros:
>deals with people (main reason I want medicine)
>brings in big bucks
>some jobs in public sector (in my country, that is) have the doctor getting R$100k/year with 20 hours/week or R$120k with 30

CS pros:
>lots of fields to research like information theory, computational graph theory and the likes (main reason I want CS)
>even if I can't get research position, lots of fields in industry, some bringing big bucks
>I will be able to explores the world of computer systems

Medicine is super competitive and CS has work for everybody.
You will probably be more fulfilled in medicine but if you worked as hard at CS as you have to to become a doctor you would make way more in CS.

CS.

You have a chance of having a life outside of your job, you get paid fairly from day 1(medicine is a two decade ladder to climb, the first five-ten years doesn't pay what you deserve).

CS is globally an english language profession, you can go to europe, US, south america, china, korea, japan, wherever and they'll just slot you into their CS ecosystem.

If you're a doctor you have no job if you don't know the local language.

.t Physician. Shoulda CS.

Medicine and its not even close especially as we enter into a Medical Technocracy.
CS is going to become so over-saturated that wages will crash eventually. This might already be happening. I am not optimistic about coding as a career path.

There'll be plenty of dealing with people in CS too. Mostly brain dead "clients" that you have to mind read to figure out what the hell the actually want you to build.

did CS undergrad, doing med postgrad
im glad I'm in med now, and I can always be involved in the intersection between the fields if needed as I have the required background. For every med student there are quite literally hundreds of CS students, so if you want to have a greater chance of being overshadowed by some autist who has been codemonkeying since he was 12 because he was a loser in school then go for CS
