Hey all,
I'm a second-year student and I'm starting to think more about life after graduation. In my program, I will graduate in the spring of 2021, take the NPTE in the summer of 2021. I do plan on applying to one-two residency programs but otherwise will be looking for work in outpatient ortho with a focus on pelvic health.
I would love to take a vacation before I start working but I also will have a considerable amount of debt to manage and want to find a good well-rounded position for a new graduate.
I'm curious if what you all think about the following:
1. Did you take a vacation, if so how long?
2. How long until you got your first job?
3. What do you recommend saving for a buffer post-graduation? (Currently, I am thinking 6 months of expenses saved would feel good. And if I end up getting a job sooner I can keep some as an emergency fund and make a large payment towards my loans.)
What do you think?
