    Sorry, but just getting into a med school requires a great deal of time, preparation, and hard work, with even more after entering med school; there is really no way around it. Most doctors also work significantly more than 40 hours a week. Some specialties with a lesser (~40hr/wk) average work load are opthalmology and dermatology, but these are still very difficult to prepare for.

    You could become a PA (Physicians Assistant), that way you dont have to get a medical degree. You will make about 90 grand a year as a starting wage and if you want to go further later, its only a couple more years of school.
