Career Dilemma: Psychiatrist or Neurologist?

Man I want to be a psychiatrist or a neurologist but I have to go through 12 years of school for both of those positions and I'm not sure if I'm committed enough to go through with that 😭. Any tips or advice?

I recommend asking yourself why you're having doubts. Is it that you simply kinda like it but aren't fully into it, or are you afraid you'll put in the work and fail? If you're not fully into it, consider why. Maybe there's a related field that sparks more joy in you. If you're just afraid, go do it. Absolutely do it. Things you're interested in but are afraid to fail at are exactly what you should be doing in life. If you weren't so passionate about it, why would you be afraid? And if you're so passionate about it, why would you do anything else?

Look for jobs that can give you on the job training and schooling that can be done at your own pace
