I suppose when I say "easier lifestyle", I'm specifically referring to the easier path and schedule (at least, I'm assuming the schedule is easier...) regarding residency.

I was engaged and looking at grad schools, and being out in 3 years with a less strenuous residency seemed an easier way to pursue medicine without giving up a family. I don't really know what the residency hours are like, though, I just figured they couldn't be as bad as a lot of others.
