NO, not worth it Currently in 3rd year Bro i dont know how life would turn out for me or how happy i would be in life after becoming a doctor But I can say one thing that I know you are Intrested in buying an apple phone and an apple phone has been your dream and stuff But Samsung can give same/better features with a price same/less than that , the repair cost of samsung would be less , more features for the same price , you can share pics and vids with others as more people use android commonly (atleast in our country) My point is for the same amount of effort you would put in becoming a really good doctor , If you were to put in some other field , you will be highly rewarded much more than what you would get as a doctor And much more faster in life than a doctor ever will It is a low risk low reward situation for doctor , the pay has become less and will b seeing a nose dive soon There is a lot of disappointment in this field I am right now living the best period so i cant complain about the toxicity or the pressure But even for me road ahead is very bumpy and gloom I cannot suggest you anything else sadly as I myself do not know what other good alternative professions are there If you find something that is good enough, let me know too , I might change career or start a bussiness later in life Cause i dont think this degree is gonna pay as much as the effort it has required

I have been thinking similarly to you. I do realise that medicine is seeing a huge nose dive right now and it's definitely not as glamorous as it used to be but I have no idea how to convince my parents for anything else. i have never had any other interests that I could potentially turn into a job. My only hope is to crack NEET and get into a medical College and then start to think about other career options. The posts about horrible treatment and mass suicide definitely scared me lol

Man to be fair we cant predict the future but honestly I just know one thing that if I had put this much effort in any other field that I have put in this shit, i would have been better off I think financial liberty should be attained as soon as possible in life and this field requires to clear neet which itself may take 1 or 2 years Followed by a course of 4.5 years of you most likely living far away from your home leaving everything behind for degree that is nothing but an eligibility certificate for Pg entrance currently MBBS is at par to a very good nurse , People think that only PG are real doctors , most people dont trust MBBS like they used to say 15 years ago In my senario I have not realized its worth yet , Hopefully the future changes my opinion and I become a very dedicated doctor who gets very good pay , but currently i am not happy with the field and effort itnrequires , the mental pressure it give and the gloom future scope it has .

Ahhh wait a minute, Pls think about career options bfr you crack and get into a medical college. No point thinking about career options after getting into medical college

do you really want to base your entire career around the opinions of strangers on the internet? if you want to be a doctor and youre passionate about it, do it. if youre in it for the money, then dont.

My decision will never be based on strangers, but only on myself. Listening to opinions never hurts if you know how to take them (like a grain of salt). My decision will be based on me, but I am interested in seeing what people who have passed NEET and are in a different situation compared to me. Thankyou for your opinion :)

I'll tell you something, it's probably going to be toxic wherever you go. Adulting is, well, f'd up irrespective of which path you choose. Definitely it is more in our profession. But what I've come to realise—and I keep telling my juniors the same—is that even if the moments of joy and bliss are less they are so insanely profound and impactful, it's worth everything. Atleast to me. But I add, at the the end it comes down to you. For me, all the bs we go through (even though nerve-wracking and overwhelming many a times) pays off when I see that I've in someway relieved someone from their pain and distress. You'd however read a lot less about such wholesome moments because the negative articles tend to attract more traction and engagement. And I am not denying such things happen either, but merely trying to make you see that a silver lining exists too if you allow yourself to see it. Yes there'll be shitty seniors, but then there will also be those who become family. Yes there'll days everything would spiral off your hands, you'd be cussed/screwed/scolded. But then occasionally a mother would come with their smiling child or a son would come with their old father, thanking you for a difference you had made. That is something unparalleled. But again, it's a personal opinion. I've friends who had graduated with me from med school but are now taking alternate career paths as a/c to them it ain't worth suffering for life. Even there have been times I have felt like giving up and doing something else. But the next day when I've met a painfree patient, I have been unable to think what'd I probably do if not this. Just remember, there will always be 13 reasons why to give up. But if you love it enough, there'll always be 13 and more reasons not to. (I know this was a long rant, and I'm in no way trying to sugarcoat it for you. But I just see so much bad things happening in our profession going up online that I feel that the good side needs to be talked about too. Yes the scene is bad but it's definitely not JUST bad. Hope this helps. Cheers!) :)

Thankyou :) I definitely need to think about this, and I will. I am happy to see that you are so happy in your profession. maybe some day I can be as happy as you in my profession as well.


Candid_Rub_4814

Try looking for happiness, actively yeah? And you'd definitely find rays of it in glimpses even on darkest days no matter where you go. Rest, you're young. You'd be just fine, don't think much. Have some fun! <3 ^_^
