I'm not sure how long I can remain on the pill and I cringe to think what I'm gonna do if I have to quit taking it. I'm too scared of the pain and side effects to get an IUD, I've heard negative things about Essure in the recent past, I'm sure I'm still too "immature" to get a tubal and I know almost no doctor will take out a perfectly healthy uterus.

The thing I don't get is if they pull this shit, they're going to lose money anyway when that patient stops seeing them for good, so what difference does it make? Do they think their refusal to perform sterilization will ensure that woman will come back to them knocked up for all pre-natal appointments? And imagine how much business they'll get when word gets around that there's an OB/GYN who will sterilize childfree women..

I honestly think many docs just get off on the power trip of being able to hold life and death in their hands. There is a lot of social status in being a doc and part of it is the ego trip for many. They get off on telling women that "no, you will not be getting a tubal, doc knows best"

I heard many become doctors for the money but if that is the case, why not be a stockbroker? You will make a lot of money, you don't need science classes, you probably will not be sleep deprived, you get to wear a suit and it's not gross and bloody. It's just me but I just don't get why be a doctor.

A bit of a tangent. Med students have to match into their residencies. They hope to get their choice but not always.
So a bit of a video about Match Day.

freya, Chicago Med had one or two episodes regarding 'match day'. not in the med profession so not a clue. this was my first introduction to it.
I'm probably lucky my whackamoo didn't pressure me in the direction of med school. I value my sleep too much and I don't function well enough without it.

To be a stock broker (I assume you refer to a brokerage firm) you have to have a bunch of licenses and a very decent starting capital. To be a financial advisor, you will need at least 2 licenses just to be able to invest for others. To be something like a fund manager or a portfolio manager, you also need a lot of education. World of finance is easier than medical field but it is not super easy. In most cases, you get paid commission based on the performance. Working long hours is very common. Stress levels are high. Job loss is common if performance is weak. I know a few people who work on Wall Street as well as Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Denitists make more money than most doctors with maybe the exception of Ob/Gyns.
I think the best way to find out is this:
Compare the number of Jaguars your local Ob/Gyn owns to the number of Jaguars your dentist owns.
