Here is another non-match topic. So I am sitting in the surgeon's lounge (doing my surg rotation) the other day and this doc (pathologist, our surgeon's lounge is like the physician's coffee shop) is giving me crap about going into psych. "It's a dead field....it is going to be swallowed up by neurology.......many psych programs aren't even around anymore they are going to neuropsych......you won't make any money". Blah blah blah.
I told him that I disagree with him on all fronts. I think it is the opposite of a dead field, the money will be fine thank you. Then he congratulated me on not taking his crap and standing up for my choice.
I guess my question is: Besides normal interspecialty bashing, why would he feel this way about psych? Is there any truth to what he is saying specifically the being swallowed up by neurology part? Is the money REALLY that much less than everything else (hour for hour)?
