      I realize this reply is months late, but I’d say any gynecological speciality would be a good bet. I’ve had vulvar lichen planus since 2004, and there are only a handful of vulvar specialists in the United States. It’s come a long way since I first started having symptoms, at least with available online information, but doctors are severely lacking. But there are thousands, possibly even hundreds of thousands, of women with vulvovaginal pain, with no doctors with the knowledge to treat. So, most women wait MONTHS to see a specialist because there just aren’t enough doctors to accommodate patients.

    I know this mail has been some time ago, but rings generally true even internationally. Ophthalmology eg caused many UK junior docs to join the army, as the access to speciality training was easier. Having done most specialities and have a Royal British diploma in both Surgery and EM (ER), and eg. having been a Neurosurgical Registrar over two continents etc. I have some legitimacy in commenting. The thing is, what you want to do in your 20s, is not always what you want to do in your 30s, 40s and so on. Most of medics are pluripotential, so always leave a sensible reserve option if option one do not work out. Medicine is a wonderfully diverse direction. You never need to treat a patient, talk to one, or you can see them all the time, see them 3D, work with their most secretive organs, see them only skin deep, or only talk...You can decide to work long hours or less, earnings being variable, but you should never live under the bread line. Etc. etc.

And if you don't match your MD is clinically useless since you're not allowed to practice medicine in America. But you can still do consulting (though they favor prestigious schools like UCSF or Stanford) or do research, or be an assistant to a doctor who runs a private practice.

He is a very bright person, very motivated, but got into medicine for all the wrong reasons. He was very unhappy. He had a dream to teach high school kids, so one day he stopped worrying about what his parents would think, what his family would think, what his community would think, how he was going to pay back $200,000 in student debt.. all he thought about was if he wanted to not be miserable the rest of his life, it would be best to follow his dream.

I'm 14 years now and I'm studying hard to get into a great school if God has it an ivy league as an international student. I really have keen interest on been a neurosurgeon even as a girl.

Why not choose something you genuinely love? I mean you can still achieve success provided you are willing to put in the work...

      Definitely. Every specialty earns plenty of money. I'm quite sure that, in 10 years, you won't care whether you make 150k a year or 250k a year (or 500k a year). The lifestyle doesn't change that much -- working hours do change a lot. Most people can't find happiness when working 100 hours a week, regardless of pay.

  • @mlgmeistros4278
    @mlgmeistros4278 Год назад +9

    The thing with surgery is that while you make more money, you have very little time and energy left to actually go out and enjoy your money. Meanwhile dermatology still makes lots of money (and there are also cosmetic and private dermatology clinics) but actually has some time left to go out and spend it. In my country (Netherlands) a dermatologist earns 5800-11000 euros a month. Since we have nearly no study debt (max 50.000 euros and most people less, our tuition is 2300 euros a year, so you can pay three years of tuition from your minimum monthly wage) and get paid relatively decent during residency (3600 euros as a first year to 4600 in your year before completing the programm). You have so much money. In comparison, the average income in the Netherlands is (3100 euros).

    As someone with chronic ENT problems, I wanted to be an ENT. After informational interviews I decided I wasn’t as into the specialty as I thought. Not because it’s competitive but as a career changer post-bacc, I couldn’t see myself spending 5+ yrs for a surgical residency when I realized I’d prefer a specialty with more people interaction and long term relationships (primary care). But I could change my mind if I’m lucky enough to get to med school!

I'm also surprised the EM is not the top specialty, it seems like all the med students I talk to want to specialize in EM because of the stable hours and the good lifestyle.

    In the UK there is a chronic shortage of Radiologists. According to my uncle, a distinguished Radiologist, the whole-body nature of the discipline and the fast moving technical developments mean that you are committing yourself to a lifetime of gruelling professional development just to stay up-to-date.
    As it's not the most glamorous College, they have difficulty in attracting good applicants.
    On the other hand, if you *are* prepared to make the commitment it's a fascinating field and you'll be in high demand from potential employers.
    Does this apply in the US?

    I knew it’d be a competitive field, and I’m not the smartest person out there, but I was willing to do so many years of schooling for it becoz I knew it’s what I loved.
    But now finding out it’s THE most competitive field rly changes the game a lot.

    If i was to think of my personality and choose a specialty, I would lost these:
    Emergency room medicine.
    Rural health (in Australia the rural areas are vast and those living in them are underserved and to work in them you have to have a very wide skill set to deal with anything that could come through the door)
    Cardiology. (Because I find the heart absolutely fascinating to study)
    Intensive at. (Because intensive care is inherently fascinating, with those being treated often having undergone intensive surgery, suffering from systemic infections, having suffered mass trauma or other life threatening event requiring invasive monitoring and monte to minute care.)
    I would also consider obstetrics, trauma or infectious diseases. Because I find these fields inherently fascinating too. In infectious diseases I can not only help the person affected but I can their family and peers. In obstetrics I can save mums and bubs, and help keep families together. In trauma I can save lives and mend the body when it’s broken in an accident. I’m of course using very simplified terms I’m aware. But emergency medicine has always been and prob only will always be the top choice with me.

    Here is the truth, I'm getting ready to graduate from medical school soon and those who get into these specialties are one of two kinds of people: 1) Those who absolutely love medicine and it's all they do and 2) Those who have crazy discipline beyond what is capable of most people. If you love medicine and the specialty you're aiming for, then it will just come natural to you (there are exceptions like test taking skills, english as a first language, and other stuff that can prevent you from getting into these fields). For the 99% of others who are pursuing medicine for the money and status (do not be fooled, most people are doing it for this reason, not saying they don't LIKE medicine, but most people do not LOVE medicine) you will need discipline. One of my classmates is a top performer, will admit he does not LOVE medicine, but that he works to get the grades and scores he does. This man eats the same meal, EVERY-SINGLE-DAY... He works out and studies like a beast too... He has sacrificed relationships, friends and even family to try and get into ortho and believe me has scores and stats to get into any program in the nation. On the other hand, there is a guy in my class that absolutely loves medicine and all he does is think about it. He isn't even American, he is from Egypt, but came here, learned english, and is incredibly passionate about it. While we watch sports, play video games, youtube and all our other activities for fun, THIS GUY FREAKING READS ROBIN'S PATHOLOGY AND VARIOUS OTHER BOOKS I NEVER EVEN TOUCHED DURING MEDICAL SCHOOL. His passion is inspiring but there isn't a single thing in this life I'm that passionate about, and if you're like me, you'll find yourself pretty bummed out when around these kinds of people in medical school. I'm the third type of person, I like medicine (DO NOT LOVE IT), and I'm not that disciplined to be quite honest (more than the average person obviously to get into and finish medical school without delays). I'm a very type B person and I'm in a sea of type A people. One thing this gives me an advantage in is interacting with people and being a standout kind of guy in my program (voted class president and other stuff). On wards, I kill it. I have nothing but glowing recommendations and write ups from my time on the wards. I write this to really say that it's out there to get it. If you want to be a plastic surgeon, ortho surg, derm, neuro, you can get it! But don't kill yourself for something you are not that passionate about, it's not worth the money I promise you...

    Why don't Americans just use $/hour instead of $/year? It makes much more sense. Neurosurgery makes a lot of $/year but not as much $/hour as, for example, orthopedic surgery. Neurosurgeons work longer. Absolute numbers are quite useless as opposed to relative numbers. It tells a lot more when you take workload into account.
