but it’s not for everyone. Here are 4  reasons you shouldn’t become a doctor.

One, you’re in it for the money. If  you consider the length of training,  

debt, and opportunity cost associated with  becoming a doctor, you’ll realize that there  

are much quicker and easier paths to wealth.  If money is your main concern, look elsewhere.

Two, you hate hard work. Becoming a doctor is  less about intelligence and more about work ethic.  

You will spend much of your twenties and early  thirties studying and grinding out long shifts  

in the hospital. If you’re not willing to put  in the time and effort, you’ll quickly burn out.

Three, you don’t enjoy working  with people. Although there  

are a few specialties that have  limited contact with patients,  

nearly all will require you to at least  regularly communicate with your colleagues.  

If you don’t enjoy interacting with other  people, medicine probably isn’t a good fit.

Four, you don’t enjoy being a leader. As a doctor,  

it’s up to you to guide the healthcare team.  Although leadership skills can be developed,  

if you don’t enjoy that level of responsibility  then you’re not going to enjoy being a doctor.
