The Surgical specialties are where it's at.
The big money, I mean.
To illustrate a point, i got these props together to come with this picture. Some of them were borrowed, stolen, and collected, but I'm not telling which were what. :-p
I got to thinking about probably going into Obstetrics as a career choice, because the past several weeks, I found myself enjoying my Obstetrics work at the hospital. I delivered 4 babies in one tour and I enjoyed delivering babies immensely. It is a happy specialty, I told a friend once, because you get to deliver babies...AND contribute to their health while developing. (You can't get more hands-on than that.)
One of my distant cousins is an OB-GYN, and so far she is doing pretty well for herself. she is always busy...and oftentimes doesn't have a lot of time to spare. She is almost always busy, but does balance it well, though, so it's good.
She didn't say anything about recommending that I go into OB...but she did seem pretty surprised that I wanted to get into neuropsychiatry. Like she thought I was a weirdo or something. lol.
OB usually is so...practical and repetitive, whereas, Neuropsychiatry is so...three-dimensional, no contest there. (And, it almost always made perfect sense.)
And...also, just to insert a minor detail, Clinic hours were regular 8-5 (if without emergencies), so I'd have plenty of time for my 10 kids later.
jk. :-p
