I would say the ER, but you obviously don't want the long hours... Hmmm, so you want a job that is fun and at the same time not putting in all those crazy hours... Well when you find that job, please call me cause this medical field is already kicking my a!s (2nd year med. student)... But perhaps I do know of a job that would be perfect, lots of money & only a few hours a day, but you better start getting on that pole now and dancing haha... p.s. don't lose hope!!!

The fact that there are so few "good" jobs that don't consume your *entire* life, but also are interesting enough to make it worthwhile.... I keep wondering whether I'll care less about the "just a job" part as I get older, but it sure as hell bothered me before, so I don't know if that will change. The "all life consuming" part seems palatable to me at the moment -- but only because I find what I'm doing interesting. That will probably change as soon as I start treating patients with the same diseases day in and day out. Or if I have kids.... And they keep telling us it only gets worse in residency. I guess take it day-to-day? And don't go into OB? Feel better. It sucks doesn’t it?
