The present work is a training memorial carried out according to the UFSCar medical course project, which seeks to discuss this questioning. A reflective narrative about the events and motivations that shaped a medical student and his decisions, in addition to two non-systematic reviews in the Scielo and Pubmed databases about the views, presented. With this, it allows revisiting and re-signifying academic experiences, relating them to the process of developing their preferences and their current reality. It also presents the views of Brazilian and foreign academics, who, despite having different values, have similar dilemmas. Thus, armed with the author's experiences and reflections, in addition to the perspectives of other undergraduates, the reader can elaborate their answers to the presented question.
