Entering the medical field is like entering the church 500 years ago.
You're always going to have a job, a roof over your head and food on the table but your whole life is going to revolve around one thing and you're going to spend all your time in a microcosm with next to 0 opportunies to branch out as your skillsets don't transfer too well in other things.

Fucking this. Rest of the world medfag reporting. Pay is barely decent but the job is (as a primary care em):

>Give me diazepam or i'll bash your head in
>child with fever and cough, child with fever and cough, child with fever, cough and diarrhea
>my throat is sore, no fever (wakes you up at 3 in the morning)
>motorcycle accident season, what do you mean i have blood in my chest and twisted legs, i was only going 200km/h in urban area
>aww doc, im going to die rn (is completely fine)
>"im suffocating", at 3 in the morning obviously, usually women (perfectly healthy as always)
>high blood pressure, high blood pressure, high blood pressure and hyperglycemia

Don't go into medicine if you don't have a cushy spec like optho or derm waiting for you, you'll be miserable and a slave to society full of retards just waiting to ruin your day.

Optometry / audiology is decent. All the clout of being a doctor but you do mostly the same shit every day and if anything looks sinister you just refer onwards to opthalmology or otorhinolaryngology.

As an audiologist the worst shit is overly anxious people (again mostly women) who complain they can't hear in background noise, or if their boyfriend is in the kitchen with his head in a cupboard and she's in the living room watching Netflix. Of course you fucking can't. UK pay is pretty garbage in the public sector especially as a grad (£25k - £32k starting,) but everyone ends up going private and selling hearing aids to boomers

I have several friends who transitioned form IT to medicine, you have to REALLY want it, yes pay is much better but you've got to plan on being back in school for ten years to be a psychiatrist; that's ten years of missed income, so financially probably not worth it to be honest. Would be shorter to become a psychologist instead of going through med school to be a psychiatrist. You won't be a physician or be able to treat things with drugs at all but you can still talk to sad people and help them feel better

I'm a psychiatrist. I would say it's a pretty nice job if you're interested in what goes on in people's mind. I wouldn't recommend working in a clinic since most patients are there against their will and generally will hate you. Working with outpatients can be really rewarding though.

as an anesthesiologist dealing with dipshit CRNAs who think they are as smart or as good as me while killing patients due to incompetence, yes it's infuriating. Corporates medicine with its midlevel pushes, dumbass teenagers with MBA destroying practices and all the things you mention make it extremely frustrating. THat being said, I have a very good life which helps soften the blow. I am involved with AMA and ASA and PPP to give some blowback and a lot of med students residents and young docs are more involved than the old guard so I think the pendulum will start to swing back in our favor. THere's only so many p[eople that can die from midelevsl mismanaging patients, corporate cost cutting etc before laws start to be put back in place.

anon, it depends on how you look at it. Medical education is obnoxiously expensive and most require hundreds of thousands in loans just for hte 4 years of education, withotu taking into accoutn the cost of living itself while a student. Residency pays very poorly and you work 80+ hours as a slave. If you can specialize or obtain scholarships it is worth it in the end after 10+ years of sacrifice. The only time medicine is worth it is if you have a brain, the work ethic, and wealthy family to pay for yoru tuition. In Europe you make far less, but your education is generally subsidized or free. t.burger

Reading a newspaper during surgery is fine by me because I KNOW you have earned it, but please dont tell me about the AMA, the worst fucking organization on earth that literally betrayed all physicians. I may come off as an angry biztard here but believe me I am passionate and as a hospitalist my patients are well taken care of, but the writing is on the wall.

AMA is full of cucks, but ASA has grown a ton of teeth in the last 5 years, like they are pretty relentless in curb stomping the " we are as good as doctors" drivel. AMA needs a lot more work but younger people coming up through the ranks arent cucks like the old guard in the AMA. All the twats who sold medicine out are retiring or dying now, ASA grew balls and I imagine its only a matter of time before the AMA grows some balls. PPP is where its at for the front lines trench warfare in lobbying against literal brain dead NPs killing patients to save some costs for shareholders. ED is just now getting riled up without how their market got glutted by NPs and shitty HCA "residencies" that popped up by the doszens glutting their market. FM has had teeth for a while. ALl the people in the specialty specific lopbbies and so on feed into the AMA eventually so there is definitely a change in tone I see going on

I've taken most of premed (B.S. Applied Math) so it would be about the same if not shorter to go the psychiatry route. T b h i don't care about pay if I can do something I give a shit about. Network Architects can easily out perform doctor's salaries but IT is boring as shit for me.

I have a million questions but if you dont mind answering just these:
>approaching 30, too late? Again money is no issue
>i need to study dreaming (fron psych to neuro) and the various untapped apllications of them. How feasible would be doing research on the side?
I imagine at best this would be small time since the culture (funding) isn't there yet. Also this is accessory, patients would cone first.
>any recs as far as going partial premed (3.2sGPA, 3.6cum) to full application?
I can relocate states so that's not an issue. I got such a low gpa since I was aimless in undergrad and was only there because I was a pipeline kid who listened to the adults in his life
>just go to college and make 6 figures! :~DDDDDdd
I can balance a lot of stress and time demanding tasks (deployed but still worked out and studied for industry certs). I know I can do it but need honest feedback.

I don' think you understand how medical training works lol

Assuming you are not already accepted into med school for the fall, it will take you an absolute bare minimum of 9 years (4yrs med school, 4yrs residency) before you can be a psychiatrist assuming you don't need a single pore med class and are not gonna do any fellowships. So again, unless you are prepared to go a decade without earning shit and going hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, become a psychologist instead, it is much faster, you just wont be a physician

It's not late, I've got a colleague that became psychiatrist at 60. Earlier he was a specialist for public health though.

Working on dreams is not that popular nowadays. I've done my psychotherapy training in Jungian psychology, people will laugh at you if you tell about it. On a positive note you can write your papers for little unknown journals with relative ease, if you're interested in it.
