I'll stick aroundby Anomalous (no login)I'm sure I'll be hanging out at the Podiatry Forum for a while. I know that most people who know that I'm going to DO school think about money and reimbursements. This isn't the main reason I'm doing it. It's simply what I've always wanted to do (be a fully licensed physician) and, quite frankly, as long as I can pay the bills, I don't really care how much I make. I'm also lucky in that my wife makes a good living, which takes the pressure off of me. Also, I'm going back because I was left out of the PSR country club and I have no desire to subjugate myself even more by applying again. Since I'm only a PPMR trained pod, I essentially have no future (in my opinion, of course). And, since I'm not fully trained, my experience and abilities would likely not secure any sort of reasonable job if I decided to move out of state (which my wife and I are contemplating). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there's a huge difference between being a PPMR trained DPM or being, say, an internist or ER physician and looking for a job in this country. I MIGHT be able to find some sort of chip and clip job in Missouri, but I know that it'll pay about as much as the manager at Wendy's. If I'm an internist, I will not make less than 100k no matter where I go and I'll have a significantly easier time of it. from IP address 216.100.68.46 Goto Forum Home |
