If there is already another thread addressing this exact same subject I apologize.
I am an MS3 right now, and I having a VERY difficult time figuring out what I want to do in life. I know I definitely want a "lifestyle" specialty - if there is such thing in medicine (and I'm most likely not competitive enough for derm). I really enjoy both radiology and anesthesiology. I read both of the residents forums quite frequently. It seems like all of the DR guys are terrified of salary cuts, and then there is the issue of CRNA's for anes.
I guess my question is, how in the *%$& am I supposed to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life??? Any general advice? Also, how real is the CRNA threat? Going forward I think I will be happy with a decent salary (I don't really want to dip down into the primary care doc range, but I'm not trying to make ridiculous amounts of money). I really would like a relatively stress free career.
