Pediatrician: To be a general pediatrician it take college, then 4 years of med school and then 3 years of pediatric specific training. Your major in college can be anything you want it to be as long as you also take the required for med school classes. I'd encourage you to major in whatever interests you. It may be the last opportunity for a while to take outside your field (medicine) classes.
