So I didn't go into internal medicine because I: 1)liked kids too much 2) liked women too much and 3) liked primary care too much. However... now it's my last year, and I am confused beyond belief about what to do.
I am 200K in debt, not including interest.
I have a husband who currently makes 30K a year.
I always wanted to be a good doctor, a family doctor, The Town's Doctor - but now I am overrun with fears of not being able to do it all... but also not able to afford it all. It's odd and disturbing and frustrating all in one, but I have gotten to the point of being scared of my future. What kind of life did I choose? Can I afford "average" luxuries like vacations and a decent house? At age 30, I have no assets, only debt! And primary care doesn't pay squat.
Ideals led me towards primary care. Financial concern currently has the best of me. Can someone offer me reassurance???
