Currently a medfag, competitive but not amazing Step 1 score, spending loads of time in a lab trying to get publications. Is neurosurgery worth it?
7 years of resident salary 50-70 k all while trying to pay back 6 figure student loans and working crazy hours.
Would you do it for 600k+ a year after 7 years? Will be mid 30s by the time I get there.
Any medbros make it and have advice?
My link stack is my hail mary to pay loans

I don't know if I would trust a neurosurgeon who bought link.
Of course if you're in it for the money, then do hip replacements. If you go to the dollars for docs website, you have two orthopedic surgeons who each got over $60 million in kickbacks from their parts suppliers

Do you think you will burn out? Can you deal with arrogant self important prick neurosurgeons and a toxic environment that will test your will every single day for seven years? Will you break down from working extensively long hours and being expected to be at the ready every single minute of it without any sympathy from anyone because they also are getting fucked and administrators have it out to get you because you are a neurosurgeon and have to have one up on you because in the end they have a bachelor's and are your bosses? If this sounds good to you, then go right on fren

Don't waste your time on that
If you go for private services and fuck ton of publications, those loans will get paid in a year

jesus fucking christ, how are these guys racking in tens of millions. I know nothing of these kickbacks.
Honestly feel like med school has desensitized me a lot to bullshit from people and arrogant pricks. It's trained me to adopt a "whatever, get mine" attitude. Feel like most jobs have administrative bullshit. Feel like I've been burnt out forever, just been grinding for when I get to be boss
private services?

Then go for it, its just seven years and you'll be loaded. Lets just hope the democrats won't be socializing healthcare anytime soon for your sake

Don't work for the government, go for private companies, you'll literally shit money

thanks fren, will try my best. I worry that I won't be able to keep up with the type of ppl who go into this field but will fight the good fight.
Will need to look into this. Feel like I'll need to get years of experience and such before I can go private but will look into it.
