[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a lawyer and there are a lot of doctors in my family.

Doctors like to b**ch a lot about their jobs, but the reality is in some specialty you can have good hours and get paid well. Much more so than law, where if you have a government job you work full time and top out at 176k, or if you are the rare biglaw partner, you can make a ton but work terrible hours.

For ex, one of my relatives is a psychiatrist who works three eight hours days at a hospital and makes 140k. That's not bank, but that's for 24 hours, total. No on call, etc. To make that much as an attorney, you'd be working at least forty hours a week and probably more like fifty or more. My other relative has a practice that involves procedures, works maybe thirty  to forty hours a week, and makes half a million a year.

My point is, dont discourage med school just because she wants to be a mom.[/quote]

Why would you take put loans/ spend all that money to make 140K when psychiatric NPs make 120K with half the training? It's a waste of time and money.[/quote]
