[quote=Anonymous]Doctor here, DP, and I wouldn't want my children to become doctors. After 4 years of college and 4 years of medical school with massive amount of debt accumulated, I spent an additional 6 years in training making $50-60K per year. Then I had to spend a large amount of money, effort, and tears on IVF because I waited to have kids. In my 30's was I finally able to start saving for retirement. But of course, also worry about kids' college etc. The nature of my work is high stress and high pressure. I also routinely take call overnights and work holidays (and trust me, it's VERY tough to lose a night's sleep and have to function the next day when one is old). I have to deal with an immense amount of politics, personalities, and "agendas" at work. What's so great about medicine? [/quote]
