quitting

I am a 3rd year PsyD student (5 year program). I've been so unhappy with my program and consistently question my career choices. Before starting my program, I was set on wanting to get into a PsyD program and specializing in neuropsychology. I recently started my external practicum year and I...

PGY-1 really worried about going into anesthesia. I really enjoyed anesthesia as a medical student but after doing my rotations in the ICU I’m starting to think I made a terrible choice for my personality. I didn’t realize how much ICU is a part of anesthesia and I’m at a program where we do 2...

I am currently an intern in a DO FM residency. I am returning back to the medical field after taking a 3 year break. I was super excited when I first started , but once I started IM rotation in mid August, everything started falling apart. I realized I forgotten a lot of medicine and was...

So, I wanted to get some opinions on whether or not I should quit research. I've been working in a lab since my freshman year (now a junior). When I got to college, I wasn't sure whether I wanted to purse grad school or med school. After talking to advisors and professors, they all seemed to...

I'm a first year resident in a surgical subspecialty that I am unhappy with. I figured this out early and reapplied to ERAS and rematched as a PGY1 at a new program in another specialty that is completely unrelated. My program was initially very supportive of this decision, but now it is toward...

I was hired by a popular scribe company in September, however due to the more than advertised hours (I was expecting 2 shifts a week, but I am actually getting 3-4) and very disorienting shift times( over night shift one day and then a morning shift the next day) I don't think it is worth it for...

Hey All, I just wanted to get the opinion of some of the forum members on my predicament. I am currently working a job in the medical device industry as a researcher. I can't say anything specific, but my job is far from what I signed up for. I am frequently given tasks that are far outside my...

Hey, so I am in a predicament. Right now, I've been in a small lab since second semester freshman year (I'm a sophomore right now), with one grad student, one senior undergrad, and two undergrad (including me). So, there's a lot of maintenance to do in lab which makes this lab time intensive...

Hello everyone, I've been working a very full-time job at a non-profit for the past year since graduating in 2015. My job has several special events throughout the year so I sometimes work really late nights where I come home anywhere between 10pm to 1am (maybe once every other month). I've...

Background: I'm currently in a DO/PhD program. Did one year of grad school (Neuroscience PhD program, working on computational project) and now am in my first year of med school. I don't usually ask the internet for advice on my life, but I figured what the hell. I've been debating about...

Hi

I'm a current MS2, and never failed an exam or rotation. I took a leave of absence last fall, which has stretched into five months and finally turning a corner on whether to drop out (I think it's time, despite $100k for two years at a private med school. Probably the heaviest factor in my...

TL;DR: Currently work at Wags, but sorta just putting up with it. Nervous about changing flags to work for tiny neighborhood Walmart on my campus, but was my 1st choice and still is! Been about 4 months at wags. I've only been there 4ish/5ish months, afterall!

Hello all, Let me explain my situation. I currently work as a research coordinator at a big hospital. It is my first research position and I am finding that I am very overwhelmed. On my AMCAS application, I indicated that I would be tentatively working from June 2015 to June 2016...however, I...

Hey Guys, new poster here... not one to post on forums usually, but I really need some help. I'm still a first year medical student, just finished first semester and have exams coming up soon. Getting into this course was everything up to a couple of months ago - this time last year, it was...

I'll try to keep this a brief as possible. TLDR: Been in school forever. Done mediocre in med school. Third year, burned out, not happy. Thinking about quitting. Have a few back up plans. Any advice appreciated. I've been in school for 11 years. Started out pre-med, got derailed into the...
