I COMPLETELY agree with this. I am working 18 days in a row this month just so I can have a "golden" weekend. Every other person in my family with jobs requiring less education/investment--3 lawyers, a teacher, an accountant, a engineer, a computer scientist, a couple of federal gov't employees (lord, they NEVER seem to work)--routinely gets every single weekend off. Period. They don't whoop and holler and have to work 18 days in a row to get a simple darned weekend (which will only be the second weekend I have off in a four month period).
I understand that residency is going to be hard but I get frustrated that not only do I work HARDER than everyone else I know with MORE education than everyone else I know yet MORE debt and LESS pay than everyone else I know. If you aren't at least somewhat jaded by that, I think there's something wrong with you.
