yeah i couldnt find hers and some of the numbers were updated.. and i was hopeing tat some could update them after AMSA

this is in med for a realistic understanding of the career.. not to compared to corporate law..

 

[velox]

she's a he

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

man since the holz my english is down the drain..

I got the numbers updated.. .yes i kno one exists but we need it in a full thread... just about money... cos i swear im goin to beat up ppl if they PM again about it

 

[velox]

hahah ppl pming about money for med. lame.....

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

its a legitimate question tho..
its lame but appropriate..

med has virtually no unemployment and ppl want to know wat they can earn and have a lifestyle..
the hours in ure specialty can be quite good too .. 8-5...
and lots of travel... be a the forefront of emerging technology.. etc..

u need a well rounded view .. cos lots of ppl dont.

Let's see 'em.

 

[Shuter]

Business in general has that amount of money, and in a shorter period with far less studying.

 

[011]

^^ Was just about to say that. Emphasis on the less amount of studying. That said, medicine will guarantee that sort of salary. To earn that in business takes fending off a LOT of competition.

 

[inasero]

No it wont...I think many of you have rose tinted glasses and are being too idealistic...most (50%) of medical graduates end up as GPs and 30% as physicians, 15% as surgeons and 5% with cushy jobs like dermatology, anaesthesiology and opthalmology. Medicine is not something you go into with hopes of earning money, nor is it suitable for those who are interested in money only without regards for the patient. That's why we have actuarial studies, commerce and law which pay much more money with less effort, if that's what you're looking for.

 

[velox]

He said it pretty well ^. Specialisations are quite hard to get into remember. Especially cushy ones

 

[Lexicographer]

Ah, not always... sure they're hard for NORMAL people, but six years of medicine conditions your for that level of work.

I've just been speaking to a LOT of registrars about specialty applications here at AMSA convention. Of course, everything is easier in hindsight.

oh why did i turn my back on studying medicine lol i will always have a secret crush on being a surgeon

 

[velox]

Well ur set with your cadetship

 

[Meads]

Well ur set with your cadetship

true...but its just gay cause i really wanted to do surgery...but ultimately i had to face that the lifestyle i would of faced was just not me, and nor did being a surgeon actually utilise what people consider my strengths...but i think i have made the right choice...

 

[santaslayer]

Anaesthesia sounds enticing. Esp if your not always needed. (I have nfi, i'm going by movies here).

 

[Keen]

I always thought that anaesthesia is a VERY busy job, and you work long hours, especially if you're not in the Metropolitan areas, but the moneys good.
