Serious Question: Does Psychiatry really really worth it?
ONLY SERIOUS ANSWERS PREFERABLY FROM PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGISTS/PSYCHIATRISTS. NO STUPID ANSWERS BECAUSE I WILL REPORT YOU.
I am seriously thinking of entering a Medical School. My parents are like "It’s too many years etc". What i want to know about is:
-What grades you need to enter medical school? B’s or higher or straight A’s?
-What do potential Psychiatrists do in medical school?
-In what science do they have to be really strong in? Math?Bio?Physics?Chemistry?
-What do people really think about Psychiatrists?
-Does society really need Psychiatrists or does eveyone settle for Psychologists nowadays?
-How much money does a Psychiatrist really make?
-Is it possible to have a degree in Psychiatry and not be able to find a job?
-What field in Psychiatry is really needed now? Clinical Psychiatry? Child Psychiatry?
-Overall do all those years in Med School and Residency really really worth it in the end? If not, then what medical field really does?(except surgeons)
Thanks

Psych major answering here. I was told in my first year, an MD will always make more than a PhD. If you have the will and the brains, then go for the MD. Right now the only practical difference between the psychiatrists and psychologists is prescription privileges. Right now, MDs have them and PhDs don’t.

I teach pre-meds. you have to have excellent grades in math, chemistry, physics, biology and in general. I’ve seen a lot of them crumble when they get to organic because they can’t handle it. Try getting through college and have a backup plan you might need it
