I am having a "what the heck am I doing with my life" kind of day. It started with a "what the heck am I doing in lab" moment. Luckily one of my research mentors, who is effectively my in-lab psychologist, talked me down and reexplained the whole rationale for my research.
Earlier that day, I had been caught off guard by the "why don't you be a dermatologist" question. Honestly, there have been (numerous) times when I think to myself: "why not? why shouldn't I be a dermatologist? I find dermatology itself fascinating. The lifestyle is a bonus. Why am I in an oncology lab; why should I do internal medicine?" I wish I could just throw my hands up, pick a path, and then forge ahead with no doubts. Unfortunately, that is just not me. I agonize and I am still agonizing.
