Is Being A Physician Even Worth It? Part 2

So, let’s talk about whether or not becoming a physician is still worth it in the year 2023 and beyond…

We’re now in the second part of this two-part series where we answer the question: in 2023, going into 2024, is being a physician still even worth it?

In the previous episode, I gave you all the negatives—why I didn't believe pursuing a career as a physician was worthwhile.

This week, I’ll give you some reasons why I think this profession is obviously not only here to stay but should also be one of the premiere career paths that you decide to take.

So, sit back and relax, for by the end of this series, you’ll have a good grasp on the pros and cons, and hopefully make a well-informed decision about whether you intend to enter the profession and, more significantly, commit to it for the long term.

Why you need to check this episode:

• Discover the pros of staying in the profession and/or studying to become a physician;
• Understand why pursuing a career in healthcare is still worth it in the year 2024 and beyond; and
• Be empowered and enlightened enough to make an informed decision on whether to get into the profession or not

“Whatever the thing is, I am a better person of it because of the career path that I’m in; because I know that I’m able to make a difference in someone’s life. And not only does making a difference in someone’s life help them, but it also helps me…I don’t think there’s a career path around that’s going to allow you to do that like being a physician will.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
