Hey all:
I'm currently in psychiatry residency and while I am liking it, the financial aspect of the job is getting to me. My classmates in surgical and more competitive specialties are getting WAY higher offers than me. I know the simple answer is that I should have probably picked a more high paying specialty. Putting aside finding happiness with lower salary, can I get some advice for me to make as much money as ophthalmology or dermatologist being a psychiatrist? I dread the idea of going back to do IM and subspecialize in Cards. I also dread the idea of going to MBA and then do finance or something. What's the feasibility of making tons of cash opening my own practice and having others work for me? What's the best/quickest route? Thanks all.
