if money is a driver for you - dont do med. I did med and money was not everything when i chose. It has become more important to me over time. If you put in the same hours into another career such as consulting that you put into medicine the financial rewards are much |

You have an overly pessimistic view of your profession. You do not suffer the typical anxieties endured by members of other professions. Other professionals often lack job security and work in a very volatile market place. Conversely, medicine is a defensive industry that boasts stability and job security. There is no other job which enjoys both security and big bucks. These are usually trade offs.
