To those of you currently in medical school, do you think the blood, sweat, and tears of medical training is worth it? I mean physically, emotionally, and financially, is the training worth it?
I ask because I recently met a 2nd-year anesthesia resident who was fed up with medicine, and said that he wishes he had pursued a Pharm.D. instead. His comment: "As a Pharm.D., I would have been making $120,000/year and living a comfortable life. Instead, I'm raking in a massive $6/hour, and haven't slept in two days!"
Thoughts?
