This pretty much describes me... I'm an Art Director but I have a good staff so most of the time I am just doing my own thing... Kinda bored. I don't really need to be working and I find that this can really kill my motivation.

Does horrible things for my ability to worry about what the hell management wants as well. But when On or Needed? Lots of hours...

I wouldn't say "extremely" well, like derm or rad, but pretty good. It's becoming more and more competitive. You're not even in medical school yet? Then I wouldn't even set your focus too strongly anywhere for another year or two. There's just too much out there. In fact, know that I recall, I was all about doing derm before med school as well. Like someone mentioned, do what you love to do, not for any other reason.

Just curious, is it hard paying for your 335i being that your in residency/ fellowship? I was thinking of selling my 325i and getting something more affordable since its advised not to work in medical school.

A year ago I worked a solid 7 hours in my 8 hour a day job (that's even considering 30 minutes of the non-productive time was paid breaks). Now, it varies from maybe 2 hours to 6 hours. I have become bored with the job. I don't think it really matters that I get more work done. I am doing more work than many here, and less than others.

Great question. You can check back on some of my previous posts that actually address this question. I've had the same car since I started driving at age 16 - 1994 Altima. Still do (335 isn't here yet ). My Altima has been nearly flawless in terms of reliability, and could probably drag me through the remainder of my residency. However, I've just had enough of the same old car, and wanted something new. I spent months deciding on what I wanted, how much I wanted to spend, and lease vs. purchase. I am married, and my wife makes an average income, which helps. So technically, I haven't started making the payments yet, but I spent more than enough time crunching my I's and O's, with buffer money for disasters/unexpected things, etc. and will still be fine. Yeah, it's probably way more car than I should have gotten at this point, but it's not going to stretch me that bad.

Who wants to be a dermatologist anyway?

STDs, viral exanthems, and atopic dermatitis...

Then you have 7 strengths of steroid creams to use.

Sounds as exciting as a wet fart.

Come to the ED, and you can practice dermatology the emergent way.

hahhaha....ED, they know absolutely nothing about dermatology, as quite evident in your post.

I love how ED docs say they want excitement, but end up moonlighting or setting up shop doing BOTOX and Laser tx on the side for the $$$. What a joke.

But I do agree with one thing...people with this kind of attitude should definitely not consider dermatology.

I'll add myself to the doc discussion. My advice to med students: no primary care! At least if you want to make a lot of money. The pay difference between primary care and certain specialties is HUGE. I am actually sitting in my office right now on call in the after hour clinic. I will be here 7-9pm after having worked all day. So far I have seen two patients tonight and have a clerk and a nurse with me. No pts waiting. That means I will loose money tonight (two patients will not cover overhead). I like what I do in general but it really sucks seeing the radiologist in his Porsche and the ophthalmologist pull up in an Aston Martin!

hahaha, "practice dermatology the emergent way." what a great quote. ED docs i work with look like deer in headlights when anything "emergent" rolls in through those doors....hahahaha I could just see it now, some guy comes in with p vulgaris, the first thing they would do is admit the patient to medicine, and hope the patient gets wheeled away quickly to the medical floor so someone else could take care of the problem.. of course im just speaking from my own experience, things might be (hopefully) different elsewhere.
