Was it after passing Step 1? After finishing 3rd year? After getting into residency? Or after becoming an attending?
Many students, like myself, feel a constant sense of anxiety because we haven't "made it" yet. While our friends from college are making real money and establishing themselves we are stuck worrying about the next hurdle and whether or not we will eventually make it. For many people having a "legit" job is a large part of "making it".
1. At what point in your training did you feel that you had "made it"?
2. How did it feel to finally make it? Did it reduce the anxiety that comes from the doubts?
