Graduating with 350k+ debt, great step score, and past ambitions of choosing a competitive specialty, but I hate the specialties I thought I would have liked, and loved family med instead. I love outpatient, continuity of care, relationships, and emphasis on prevention.
I’m scared because of my high debt burden and plan on starting a family as a PGY-2 and moving back to SoCal right after residency. I’m scared of the debt burden, while living in a high COL area and trying to start a family, all with trying to save for retirement etc...
I could care less about reputation, but I’m just nervous of my potential financial situation until I’m like 40.
kind of shallow I agree. Just thought I’d share my feelings here.
