I don't know enough about being a doctor to give you a good answer, but the GP route sounds like you'd be fucking yourself in the long run. SOAP sounds like a lotto. If you get something you truly hate could you just quit after 1 year a. Become a lot doctor? That sounds like the way to go

anon why do we need doctors if we have chainlink?

>>15796038
Should have gone to dental school, own practice work three days a week, make a mil

>pot doctor
that's retarded, you don't need to be a doctor to bake some weed, and cbd does shit, you need the whole thing

>>15796038
why apply for derm; that's the most competitive speacilaty in all medicine lol. Bro if you don't have 5 first author pubs in high impact factor academic journals, a 260+ on step 1, and from an ivy league med school RIP

Should've applied equally comfy and still good fields like Rads, anesthesia, done IM and then fellowship etc. ALl much easier to get into and arguably more rewarding than looking at moles all day and scamming your patients with shitty unproven treatments for cosmetic shit

I'm an intern now. Was going for ophtho; have 9 publications, 7 first author all in high impact journals, but step 1 was 240 which is still really good obv but below average for what gets into ophtho, also am from a state med school in the midwest.

I realized i would not be getting top tier ophtho interviews even with all my pubs, so last second I applied to anesthesia as well. Ended up picking anesthesia over ophtho because i got way better invites to dank programs from anesthesia compared to ophtho.

also every option you listed is shite.

B. is shit pay and you'll be doing literal shit work. Like basically a school nurse for prisons essentially or a script writing pleb for a general practitioner in a rural setting

C. Not profitable as you'd think, and without any credentials besides just your MD you'd get screwed out of business fast

D. LOL, no one will want you as a consultant unless you're from a top 20 med school or if you've done residency already. esp not a pharma gig.

Your only real option is to hope you match derm, and if not, SOAP into an IM or surgical prelim spot.

If your stats are good and there's open anesthesia or rads spots I could gun for those hard. Average salary for both of those is actually better than derm, lifestyle is just not quite as comfy and the salary ceiling is obv not as high. Psych seems kind of high risk high reward as well, no salary is less than any of them. Family Medicine, god bless their souls, probably the most thankless job doing the most good for people, but you gotta be real altruistic to taks that big a pay cut and work those hours and get that shat on by everyone. But if you actually like derm stuff, family medicine will be extremely similar practice if you set it up like that, you wont be a mohs surgeon or anything but everything else will be the same

marijuana doctors make bank
I paid $200 for a 5 minute visit where we just talked about how great weed is and he signed a state dept of health paper approving me

>>15796038
also there's not many other docs or even med students on /biz/ but there's quite a few of us on /lit/

my marijuana doctor went to a top school and volunteered for MAPS
so he was kind of qualified in alternative treatment

Thanks for the reply, man.

I do have 5 first author pubs, but they are in low to mid tier journals. Step 1 was 258. My school is technically "Ivy League" actually lol (but it is one of the pleb tier ivies).

Anesthesia is actually chill as fuck. I always envied them, sitting behind that fucking curtain, probably shitposting on 4chan, while I was retracting and getting yelled at throughout my surgery clerkship.

Idk man, I thought derm would be chill. The residents seem happy as fuck (and the chicks are all hot), The visits are nice and short. Your patients almost never die from their skin diseases. And you ultimately make bank for a 40 hour work week. You can do some cutting if you want to. Or sit behind a microscope as a dermatopathologist. It can be versatile.

Honestly, I am so burned out at this point that I just want to finish this hell that is med school. I am near the end of my rope. I applied to 100 programs, and I can barely muster the motivation to complete these god forsaken supplementary apps right now.

I just want my shitcoins to moon so I can get off this ride altogether to be perfectly honest.

>>15796605
what shitcoins you riding?

>>15796623
Fat stack of pic related and Quant. Also 3 whole bitcoins, which I hope to swing-trade up to 10 BTC during this bull cycle. If the prophesied six digit BTC predictions come true, I can pay off my $200,000 student loan debt and possibly retire young. One can dream, right?

>>15796605
i was gunning for ophtho for the same reasons, happy patients, short workweeks, fun procedures, and good pay for what you do. If you got those stats you'll probably match since you applied widely. Derm sends out interviews later than most; same with ENT, Ophtho, plastics etc.

I interviewed for both optho and anesthesia, but ended up not ranking any optho since I was either getting invites to great programs in bumfuck nowhere, or shit programs that were in good locations. Plus being in an outpatient setting makes me want to kill myself. I can't stand working in a clinical office, much prefer the bustle of the hospital and ICU/OR. Anesthesia has all the CRNA shit scaring away good applicants so lots of really good spots were ripe for the taking and I just ranked those instead of optho. As long as I don't have to write long ass notes and break 400k working <50hr/wk im good.

>>15796644
good luck, fren. hope everything works out for you. atleast you have a solid gig to keep you busy before the inevitable bull run arrives

>>15796644
Also why no Link stack? I used a shit load of med school loans during my third year to get a fat stack of 30k link late 2017; now's the time to gank the government for loans that wont have a massive impact on you overall, as long as you match, but returns could be massive

>>15796644
One final piece of advice, is to files for taxes this year with a 0$ income and use the rePaye system to pay back loans. Government will subsidize like 50% of interest during residency and you save a lot of money that way. Open Roth IRA as soon as you start residency, max it out. Also get high deductible health insurance with HSA and max that shit out. If you're at on of the rare programs that will match a tax-advantaged contribution to IRA or 401k etc obviously pay into that as well. Our biggest expense in life by far is gonna be taxes, so start getting in deep with tax-advantaged accounts ASAP. White Coat Investor and Physician on FIRE are both entry-level communities of docs trying to fast-track to financial independence
