I love medicine and especially psych. Is it possible (after residency) to work ~50 hours per week and make ~$135,000 per year? I am not particularly interested in having my own practice.

Holy cow!!!! I am seriously considering Psych as well for residency. What kind of background are they looking for as far as acceptance? Certin undergrad majors, work experience, etc?

Didnt want to put this in its own thread but i had some related questions (more curiosities not that it really matter to me)
This is just refering to physicians (not just psychiatrists) working in hospitals, not private practice.
It seems there is alot of difference between different positions, In hospitals i hear about people working massively different hours (anywhere for 40-80+), with or w/o call, differnt amounts of weekends/holidays and massively different salaries.
My questions:
When you sign a contract with a hospital are things like specific hours, call/no call, days of week/holidays clearly defined for the position your taking?
Is your salary a single pre-determined amount independent of hours worked/patients seen?
Basically im curious if you know about what your getting yourself into when you accept a specific position.
