I was accepted to medical school this week! I know this will be a challenging career, but there’s nothing I’d rather do. Thanks for making these videos, they’ve helped inform my choices multiple times on my road tk get this far :)

I want to be a neurologist and am clicking randomly in youtube to find motivation. Guess what I got haah

[AdvancedOphthalmologySurgery]

As an Ophthalmologist I would say that if you choose any medical specialty because it says something to who you area as a person you will be happy. Of course monetary compensation is an important factor and it seems that Ophthalmology while still very good is perhaps lagging comapred to some other medical-surgical specialties such as ORL.. however the ability to restore vision in impaired patients is truly rewarding. And all specialties shoudl have their unique meaningful moments and these uniqueness is ultimately what you must pursue ;)

very happy to see Maslow’s hierarchy of needs addressed here

[Baldess]

You should make a “So you want to work in public health!”

[dr.hijabi_]

When he said General surgery as 2nd happiest speciality, my heart beat raised 🙈 💓💓💓💓

[ihabahmad]

Kinda weird that there's nothing on neurosurgery. Would've expected it to be on some of those lists like burnout or compensation

[audenatticus]

I am already finishing my medical internship, but I am so confused about what specialty to choose. Thanks for a little help with these videos, I hope I can make a decision soon

[shoujoru]

Me being interested in cardiology and finding it being in both the top 5 unhappy and most well paid careers😧

[dmd]

I am surprised that general surgery continues to be in the top 5 happiest

[malikaalibdat]

Medical scribes = Jonathans = Happiness

[renee]

Good work! What an interesting video to put all the factors into perspective. Your videos greatly helped me identify what parameters are most important to me to ensure I am going in the right field!

[Dr.Macrophage]

At this point you should make a so you want to be a rhematologist, yeah? 👀

[liv]

Isn't neurosurgery in the top 5 of the specialties with the highest salary? I was convinced that neurosurgery was one of the highest paying specialties🤔

[alhaydardaliby]

I love that statement... "Hours worked and predictability/ unpredictability"

[BrianErwin]

would've expected dermatology to be happy.. 60% is pretty bad for such a prestigious high paying position

[tightleftiso]

I have a question about the Physician Compensation. Is compensation and salary different? I’m guessing that salary is the income that’s earned on paychecks while compensation is income along with other benefits like insurance & 401k???

[lailapierrie]

As much as I know it’ll be stressful I definitely want to be a gastroenterologist

[tmdred]

Can you do so you want to be an optometrist

[sparktaylor]

Figured Anesthesiologist would be higher up
