I'm entirely undecided on this issue. I'm approaching the end of my time in the primary call pool in my program and have a full medical license. Some of my classmates are signing up for moonlighting gigs, and I'm slacking out of ambivalence I guess. You can make a lot of money ($3.5k/weekend), but that's a weekend where you have to work, and I'm a little sick of working weekends. But it's a lot of money, and while I'm able to pay my bills and meet my basic needs, I can't say I couldn't use more money to fund buying a house and maybe some vacations, etc.
Is moonlighting as miserable as call, or does the money make up for it? Is it good training? Also, professionally I'm headed towards a likely 100% outpt path, and the big pay moonlighting opportunities are all inpatient.
