Will you earn status and respect for all the hard work you put in to become a physician? Absolutely. But it may not be exactly what you envisioned. Being a physician doesn’t make you immune to being treated poorly by others.
Next, there’s the salary. Although working as a doctor is one of the few professions that can guarantee a low- to mid-six-figure income, it also comes with a significant opportunity cost. While most of your college friends will graduate and start working with a meaningful salary, you’ll be spending another seven or more years in training.
Lastly, there’s career satisfaction. Although helping others has been shown to improve one’s happiness, there are many other jobs in healthcare that allow you to do that with far less debt, far less responsibility and stress, and far less time in school or training.
Medicine is still a great career, but if you’re in it for the wrong reasons you’ll quickly burn out.
