I am happy with my career, but it’s the Bataan Death March. I would not encourage my family or friends to become a physician. The juice just isn’t worth the squeeze.

If you listen to enough people this is true of almost any profession these days. I got talked out of law school by lawyers I respect, and now I’m an accountant. I just don’t see that I am better off following that advice.

We are all facing the same issues from tight labor markets and automation setting unrealistic expectations.
