[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not physician. You get a gap on resume and you get stigmatized. Its really difficult to rejoin. [/quote]

Really? I thought someone on here said that physician is a good job for moms, because of flexibility. [/quote]

Absolutely not any job where you need to keep up your skills. And what person (forget women!) wants to spend hundreds of thousands on their education and over a decade just to trash it?

My DH is a suegeon and is ALWAYS going to trainings and assisting other surgeons to learn the latest in treatments. It’s a lifetime of experience that just builds. [/quote]

I think it depends on your specialty and how much leaning out you are doing. I have friends who job shared/did 2 days a week of in patient/stayed home for a first year before re joining their practice. I think physician is a good choice for women b/c you can drop in and out, medicine is set up that way where patients aren't really getting continuous care from one person. Anecdotally- physicians tend to be able to game their schedule and be able to both stay at home and work as much as they want and just seem to be happier than the attorneys who are always one the edge of losing it or basically just drop out completely for a while and IT ppl, ppl in corporate America also seem really stressed out. It might also be b/c the physicians dont expect themselves to cook or clean regardless wether they have kids or not, so they dont stress about that and can just focus on their jobs and their kids. the attorneys that I know who are happy have spouses that have less stressful jobs and do the majority of child related logistics/work othrwise they are the majority who just quit to stay home.
