Hi everyone!
Genuine question here. I've always considered myself a planner. Now that I finally have been accepted (Hallelujah), I've been looking more towards the future. I am really concerned that I am falling into the mindset of caring way too much about what specialties earn more than others. I catch myself peeping at MGMA data way more than I should.
I have never wanted to go into medicine for the money. However, I have two kids, and I want to give them a great life with ample opportunities. This is obviously easier to accomplish with greater income flow. My biggest concern is that I've already started ruling out certain specialties purely based on a financial standpoint, without any experience in those fields.
Does anyone have any tips on how to avoid this? I really don't want to be "that guy" in my med school class...
