My priorities have done a 180. I went through med school hellbent on trying to climb the ladder of academic medicine and did pretty well as a medical student. 1A papers in big journals and all that stupid stuff. Now I couldn’t care less. I am going to see residency through but now my goal is to maximize my income when I am young and fresh out of training and then find a good work life balance later when I have a family.

Is the key to go rural and make partner at a practice? Or maybe working as a Nocturnist?

Is there a fellowship that will appreciably boost one’s income? (pain? CMM? something else?)

Does anyone work as an expert witness?

Anyone do side hustles like own multiple small properties and rent them out?
