Recently switching careers

Going from a bachelors in Graphic Design that ending up leaving me with no real career. I loved art, and I think i should have kept it as a hobby to retain its charm. But i also had an interest in health and science. As a kid, I thought maybe I’d become a veterinarian because I love animals. But then I thought about how I am not really the person to want to cut someone/animals open or deal with body fluids. So I did some research on what I thought would be fitting for a person like myself, and I came across to sonography. I was recently accepted into a tech college to start my prerequisites. I’m choosing to do echo cardiology. I want to eventually work with just the Pediatrics. Maybe I will expand my specialties as school progresses.

But can someone give me an idea on how life is in reality as an echo cardiologist? I always see mix views. I understand that it can be a toll on the body. But would you say it’s less of an emotional toll when it comes to patients? I know everywhere is different. Preferably I’d wanna work in a clinic if that are returning comes to me. I’m just looking for some personal experience stories. I don’t really want to be talked out of it, but I do want to know what I’m signing myself up for.

Hypothetical question:

If the government classified race using only DNA ancestry, what contradictions or problems do you think would arise?

What I’m actually interested in is the underlying question of what race is based on. If a classification were based on DNA, should phenotype matter? Or if race is primarily about how society perceives someone, then does DNA matter at all?
I’m not advocating for a DNA-based system. I just find it interesting that genetic ancestry, visible appearance, and social identity don’t always align, and I’m curious how people think about those differences.
