Started radiology, looking to switch into psych

[odyssey2]

Started radiology and discovered I don't like it at all. Felt more in tune with psychiatry during med school, looking for a switch.

Get some mentors in both fields asap.

Also, it's not illegal to be a productive member of society, get paid well, and enjoy life. Not everyone has to have a "passion" for thier income source.

Unless you have a passion for not being replaced by software in the next ten years. Then maybe jumping ship on radiology is to be considered.

What don't you like about rads?

Welcome to the club.

This is why you don't advise as a medical student. Back when I was in your shoes you told me it's wayyy too early to make a switch. Why don't you tell yourself the same?

Meanwhile, I gave you good advice telling you to go into psych, I wish you listened.

I went from rads to psych. Regret the paychecks, nothing else.

Do you not like the field or are you just having a tough time? There is a distinction to be made there, rads is notoriously difficult to get a feel for when you're first starting.
