nah second, start third year in July. Got a while to go, and boards lurking.good luck to yall in the match and congrats for making it this far. It's no easy task you should be proud.
Right now im leaning toward rads, or a surgical subspecialty. i'm honestly open to pretty much anything but the primary care specialties.
anton seems like you've changed your mind every time one of these posts pops up...i was the same way lol

This is what am saying people talk that BS about "money don't make you happy"
It definitely does and can make you happy but it depends on what you do for the money and how much your making
If your making enough to money buy the things you need/like and live comfortably you will be happier than compared to
If your not making enough to buy the things you need/like and live comfortably

I know plenty of Docs making upper 6 figs and some in the 7 figs and are absolutely miserable.
Actually, I was making a vague allusion to the relative ability of money to make you happy. I'm not a happier person because my financial picture is better, but I am happier because I don't have to worry about many things that I used to.
In my experience, the only people I hear tossing off the old "money can't buy happiness" are people who have given up on something or settled and are saying it to justify their relative position or those who are staring down the barrel of death and grappling with an existential crisis (word to Kierkegaard).

While I personally agree with this, saying so makes you sound like you failed at some life choices. The only people who talk about how unrewarding money is are people without any and those preparing to die.Originally Posted by rashi

Money ain't gonna guarantee you happiness. Real talk, who knows if you're even cut out to be a doctor...they go through a whole bunch of !#+@. Go do pre-med and let us know how that works out. I was pretty much on track to do physical therapy but the unhappiness and lack of interest I have in the classes is not enough to keep me in this field...boutta do something else soon.

Thinking about becoming a neurosurgeon, but I know I won't be winning 'til I'm in my 30's at the earliest, with no time off anywhere in between. I think I'm going to wait until after I'm done with my BA to decide if I'm going to med. school... If not, I'll still have my other major/alternate life-plan.
