Hi I am a first year IM resident and it is time for me to make a decision for going into a subspecialty now. I have worked in both the departments now and it is decision time for me. I love the subject of cardiology but in practice the way it is driven and the future of it scares me the most, especially when you are willing to put in the effort to work long hours and at the end of the day you dont get the rewards back. So help from the fellows in cardiology and the practicing physicians in cardiology would be appreciated.
Heme Onc also interests me in a manner in which it is so naive and there is so much to do and learn in it. Although the clinical outcomes are not so good. in terms of the compensation if you see its almost close to cardiology with good hours.
So what should a resident do now, go into something that is saturated like cardiology , work long hours , not get paid good , or go into a virgin field make decent money and live a good life.
I am extremely confused at this stage now.
