I like medicine but i started too late bros

I know a 45 year old who just got into med, you’re way ahead

Doctor here, finished when I was 31 but I’m super specialist. I make 400 a year work 4 days a week. I’m annoyed that I can’t scale this but I don’t live pretty well to be honest. Medicine is good and steady for the long run but it’s not baller fuck you cash. The problem is you’re too deep now so just figure out how to make the best of your situation.

your job will be irrelevant soon

robot doctors

Meant to say I do live pretty well.

if you used all those student loans to buy bitcoin in 2010 you would be a billionaire

no it wasnt worth it but youre still alive. pleas go into a specialty that will make immortality possible

I should also note that I have 80k link I bought at ICO. So that’s the kinda shit that can catch fire and lift you fast and I didn’t give a fuck about losing 20k. I put 60k in crypto early on without even fucking blinking like I didn’t give one fuck if I lost it. So that’s the power of constant 20k a month post tax. Just keep your life expenses down and you’ll live like a king. I travel at least 4-5 vacations a year

Totally agree. But I think the fulfilling aspect is often overlooked. I have several bros who went to Ivy Leagues and are now are players on wallstreet, and everytime I talk with them, I don't regret my career at all. They literally all hate their lives and work worse hours than the average doc does. They make more sure, but it's so vacuous. Last time I was in NYC for interviews as a MS4, my friend lamented I had seen and done more in NYC in the last 3 days than he had done in the last 4 years there. Granted not all "business" is that brutal of schedules, but any of the guys raking it in on wallstreet are all working like dogs, and being an actual business owner/creating a business will easily be well over 80 hours a week as well. I would rather being doing medicine for 80 hours a week then being up at 3am on a Sat night changing fonts on a ppt presentation because everyone in wallstreet is so type A and neurotically demands the most inane and dumb shit to be done as the drop of hat.

Plus as you said, medicine engaging esp as AI play bigger and bigger roles in medicine and we get to offload a lot of the more boring shit (unfortunately it will also continue to drive down our compensation), but at least it will be exciting.

docs will always be needed. I actually work in a machine learning lab as a resident doc; we aren't going anywhere lol.

Jelly of your Link stack; 28k Link here, but I got in December 2017 with loan money as a student still

Ya I mean I have enough money I could have a huge link stack but I don’t see how we’re going to 100 on link but who knows I hope to hell it does.

I can’t tell you how fulfilled I am; I’m the main baller in the hospital I run circles intellectually around the older docs they all now to me and my patients are super happy and do very well and cured of some nasty diseases. That is gratifying as shit. And 4 days a week. No complaints really except some geographic restriction

You mean robo paramedics

what specialty are you and are you in a metro area or more suburbia?

I switched from ophtho to anesthesia last second because I hate outpatient and realized like 90% of my life would be outpatient as an ophthalmologist. Both have a lot of tight AI research which I focused on. But I only see anesthesia salaries continuing to drop for a while even the fellowship routes. If I can stay above 300k at an academic spot I'll be happy though
