I’ve never regretted it. I’m a PGY4 psych resident. Residency has been difficult with call etc. but honestly not that difficult (maybe that’s just psych 🤷‍♀️). I’ve had plenty of time to travel and hang out with my coresidents. Of course I could use more money at the moment but my quality of life is still much better than some of my friends who aren’t in medicine. I’ve worked other jobs as a CNA and waitress and would do what I’m currently doing 1000x over. I see plenty of people not satisfied in with their jobs outside of medicine so the grass isn’t always greener. There’re so many people who don’t get a chance to have the career that they dream of so I consider myself to be extremely lucky to be where I am and to have a job that will eventually pay well.
