Only after slaving through premed, med school and then residency until your early-mid thirties then you start getting big bucks but first you pay off debt.
I'll be 32 when I finish fellowship, I have a classmate who will finish psychiatry residency at 29. Many doctors do not graduate with debt; med school is filled with trust fund babies myself included.
You will be a satanist jews pet and help to kill 1000s of people
Definitely true that the more dark triad you are the more you will make in this field. One of the few fields where the income disparity between good samaritans and dark triad sociopaths can be multiplicative. Examples:
In my country you can do it for free but only if you're extremely high iq
so in other words, being a doctor is worth it even if I just wanna do it for the money correct.In private practice surgery you can reasonably expect to make 1M+ working around 50 hours a week once you are established. You can reasonably work 30+ years like this and retire with 40M+ if you are frugal and invest. The highest paid docs at my school which files annual salary reports are: interventional cardiology at 3.5M and several neurosurgeons around 2M.
Most slept on specialty right now is psychiatry:
Prison Job - Worth the Risks?
So I've been talking to a recruiter and I've been told about a prison job in a state prison system. It will be locums, 1099. No benefits. 2 weeks off a year unpaid. No sick time. Luckily I have a spouse who gets healthcare and full benefits for us through her non-medical job. BUT, the pay is...
800K compensation for a new grad. Mindlessly throwing SSRIs or antipsychotics at everyone and pretending to listen to them.
Compare that to SWE, surgery or radiology where you are hyperfocused doing extremely technical work and if you happen to fuck up a few times your career is now in jeopardy.
On my psychiatry rotation the attending psychiatrist showed up at 9:00 AM, "saw" his 10 patients in 20 minutes and was out the door at 9:30 AM to his next job(s). Got paid 270k a year for this joke of a "job". Mogs basically every technical career in both hourly rate and stress to pay ratio.
also same for me, parents are willing to pay my debt only if I go to med school
IGET PAID ALMOST 6-figures USD while rotting all day and being 10x higher status due to being a founder
Money's never worth it if you're living to work in order to get it.
You better be prepared to focus and grind until you're late 20s early 30s depending on how old you are when you start but afterwards it's definitely worth it from a return on investment perspective. I probably averaged 4 hours a day of studying in undergrad and 8 hours in the first 2 years of med school including weekends. 3rd year is 30-60 hours a week of rotations (psych easiest, OBGYN hardest) + 10 hours of weekly studying for exams. 4th year I'm just cheefin and playing league all day taking bullshit rotations getting ready to graduate.
If you think you won't be able to handle 8 hours a day studying for 2+ years straight or hate socializing then I would be careful because it will be brutal to make it through the whole process. On the flip side if you're a 6'5 personable extrovert with strong academic discipline then you are basically guaranteed to have a lucrative career.
8 hrs of studying per day? How tf do you even do that without burnout, plus do you still have time to do things like idk go to the gym etc.
Bullshit in relationships is a waste of time anyways so not a downside.
I don't mind socializing, but Idk if I can imagine myself studying 8hrs a day jfl. Im in hs rn and the most I study is 2hrs in a day, still get good grades tho cuz hs isn't that hard compared to uni and medschool obv.
I never understood shitty NHS pays. Muh free healthcare because the doctors get paid like trash, move to private sector or states tbh
I don't honestly want to work for them any longer.
Most of the tuition parents are paying for
Yup thats med school for you, i wake up 8am, and start studying 9am until 5pm and get a cortisol burnout every single day. Its turbo brutal
For stress: indica before bed, good relationships, video games
Do you regret going to med school
How many hrs of sleep did u get
Average 8 hours first 2 years. I didn't have mandatory classes so I could design my own schedule with no surprises and no real obligations other than studying. During rotations averaged 8 hours on easy rotations and probably 6 hours on hard ones. For residency I should expect to get 8 hours average, unless you're doing a surgical specialty you should have a reasonable schedule.
computer science 100x easier and better than medicine
Complicated, if not med school then i would do nothing else, i just despise the first 2 years, despise theory and mindless memorization. Older students are telling me 3rd and 4th year are a blast because of them being much more clinical so i have hope, but now being second year its turbo brutal. Fuck physiology and anatomy
i have like a couple days to decide if I should take bio and physics, or cs for my hs course jfl idk what to pick
does it determine what you do in Uni at all?
Depends on pre knowledge, computer science requires you to have some passion for it since high school, my gf is studying it just for the money and she is super struggling. While med school is okay for everyone, its just brutal memorization
Depends on your goals. Doctors have much higher status, and you have variety of fields to choose from that are similar to your liking.
It's faster but definitely not easier. My brother is a SWE at amazon and he is basically going through residency-level stress forever. He can get fired at the drop of a hat for poor performance. The hours are even comparable between radiology residency vs SWE day-to-day job.
