Career advice for 17 year old

I am a 17-year-old applying to colleges. I am wondering if I should try to go to med school or if I should go into the finance field. I really like cars and am wondering if it is worth it to go into finance solely because I would be able to get my dream car, a dodge hellcat, the quickest or if its worth it to go into medicine. Please share some advice
