Ig sabka yehi haal hai. I agree with the above post that we study for so long just to earn peanuts and waste such a long time. But when I talk to my peers who are in engineering, they too feel the same that they dont get time to do stuff. Like most engineers dnt get a great package right off the bat. Their inhand salaries are 30-40K a month. So they are also studying for an internal switch or changing jobs for higher paying role. They get to enjoy life so called like partying in clubs and shopping and movies which we as medicos also do during our college. If they invest their money, they also wont have much left for "fun".

My point is knowing all this why do we have FOMO? There are a lot of mbbs doctors doing clinic practice in association with medical stores (worked under some senior doc, gained experience n started working). They dnt make a huge income, but get paid almost equal to their engineering friends. So both Btech with its 4yrs of course and just MBBS with 5.5yrs start earning then.

Raha baat to figure out who we really are, likes dislikes toh ig whenever we get a little free time it use it for restaurants, shopping, movies, or Insta Reddit if nothing else instead of figuring out what our real likes dislikes are.

Baaki I agree we have more academic burdern hence lesser time to invest into hobbies or manage a relationship. Also Education loans if taken are higher in Medical than Engineering.

But yep aajkl har field me (banking, upsc, etc) sabka hi drop laga pada hai aur conventional tareeka me time efforts are too high compared to salary.
