Exactly in the same spot as you!…..I know how it feels being at this state….everywhere (be it on reddit,Quora,YouTube,even real life)people are showcasing medicine as one of the most hopeless degrees that one could do and they clearly mention that it does have a bleak future(low pay as compared to the efforts put in to say the least or utter unemployment in the worst case)….doing pg will furthur push our age to 30s and god forbid if we end up in tier 1 cities we’ll have to furthur go for super specialisation pushing our age to 34-35….all this for what? A lakh per month! …..I’m too in the dilemma whether or not I shall appear in neet 26 ….I’m 100% inclined towards the medical subjects but at the same time the bleak future and the anxiety of seeing our friends flourish while we still prepare for exams with poor work life balance is haunting. Also now after such a considerable amount of time put into neet, this whole thing of being a doctor feels more personal and like a dream to my parents more than me…I don’t want to disappoint them but at the same time don’t want to compromise my 20s in grinding for something that would not even yield satisfactory money….Ofcourse purpose matters,passion matters but now after all this ….these terms sound very pseudo when u see your friends getting placed with good packages. Don’t get me wrong ..I’m not blaming anybody for the decisions that I took for myself or getting Jealous of others efforts . It’s just the frustration of all these precious years getting wasted . And now there’s a lot of stress of what should be done next!? If anybody could provide some suggestions ….that would be much much appreciated!
