i'll start college in january and i'm thinking of becoming a doctor. the salary is alot and the job sounds cool. but before i plan my ways there, i wanna know just how hard it is to be one. do med students and residents have time to work 20 hrs./wk and time to go out on weekends or do they have to study 24/7? surgery looks cool as hell. just how much sleep do these guys get? what about when in practice? how many hours of work a week? not just for surgeons, but other fields too. any one with any clue or info for these questions, please tell me so i will see if i should take a shot at medicine. thank you
