Actually, choosing a specialty is a very personal thing. Just because a specialty is “prestigious” or lucrative doesn’t mean you will enjoy it. I tell my students it’s a question mostly of pacing. If you think “how can you sit and talk over the same problems over and over again-lets DO something about it” then you will be happier in surgery. If, on the other hand, you think “let’s quit rushing around and sit down and look at the whole picture and try to figure out what’s wrong and how best to treat it” then you should be in medicine. If you thrive on sudden bursts of adrenaline, then Anesthesiology or Emergency Medicine might be right for you.
