Wow, just looked up what Kancho is. Damn. Does not sound like something I would like. >>

I wanted to be a doctor when I was a kid. I'm not sure why. I think I just found the idea of curing diseases to be fun? Once I started taking some related courses in high school though I lost interest. I didn't find it as fun as I thought it'd be. It's still a very interesting field but it just didn't feel right for me.
