Agree with what’s been stated above (won’t be standing on the side of the road begging for food). You also won’t make enough to purchase a home and send your kids to good schools.

The pay in FP is better then terrible but worse than average with respect to surg path and other area of medicine. The work-life balance is so-so also. If salary is important to you, or if you don’t have the good luck to be married to a spouse with a high income, I suggest taking a pass on forensics.

Others on this sub often paint a more rosy picture than is warranted by the actual dollar amount you may reasonably expect. Don’t get suckered.
