Be going to expresses a plan.
Ex: I am going to be a doctor. That's my plan.
Ex: I will be a doctor. It will happen. I am 100% sure.
Ex: It's going to rain. It looks like it.
Ex: It will rain. The guy on the weather channel said so.
Does that help?
Can someone tell the different between "will" and "am going"

will is used forgoing to is used for
- general predictions or statements about the future
- offers and promises (I'll take a look at it later.)
- spontanious decisions (I'm hungry. I'll go get something to eat.)
Hope that's clear enough
- certain predictions with present signs (Look at these clouds! I think it's going to rain soon.)
- intentions and plans (We're going to go to Spain next year in the summer.) --> if it's already a fixed arrangement you use the present progressive, though: We're going to Spain next summer. (=We've already bought the tickets.)
