Helping people is noble and awesome but 9 years of medical school & residency before making a decent salary? Hard pass 🙅‍♀️

Going into medicine shouldn’t be about the immediate financial rewards. Like PwC1 said, it’s delayed gratification. The career rewards you much later in life, albeit, with job security, respect, and financial benefits. Most docs make north of 200-250K and there seems to always be a perpetual shortage of physicians in the USA. Rural docs are a hot commodity now too. Pay in some small towns is incredible for certain specialties.

Yeah I have a friend, first year residency, is working 12-16 hr shifts 6-7 days/week, they are usually nightshifts, she’s in the ER so lots of COVID exposure, and her salary is... (drumroll please!)... $63k. By the time she’s done and making the “real money” I have no doubt that I will STILL be making more than her with just a bachelors degree and having mostly worked 50 hr weeks or less. Fuuuuuuuck medicine.

Never too late, life is too short to have regrets :) Just remember, specialities like neurosurgery require lifelong dedication and commitment. Your profession becomes your livelihood, coming before anything else.

That shows awesome. Really hits home. Make sure to watch the CoVID episode

What’s the average salary or pay rate a estimator makes?

I feel like people don’t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up. Usually the requests I have come from my boss or for big projects we’d be working on. Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.

I tried contacting him over calls and whatsapp but he didn't answer it as i didn't leave on good terms with him.
What is the way out? Please help
