You get to help keep people healthy and cure them when they’re sick. Prestige is high as is the pay.
The Reality: Fewer and fewer patients see their physicians as godlike, especially those whose first instinct is to go online for medical information. Doctors are spending less time than ever with patients and more on paperwork. Insurers keep hacking away at physician costs.
And those are just the new problems. This career has long had other liabilities. The training spans more than a decade. After completing all that, there’s usually the ongoing stress of managing your office, trying to care for noncompliant patients, giving unsuspecting patients bad news, and seeing some get sicker and die.
