This is such a tough phase of life, I have no idea what is there in future but I definitely know that this is not something what I ever expected while joining MBBS.
Exams happened in September last year, 6 months have passed and still many of us who are waiting for the Mop Up round are simply sitting jobless at home. All of us are 25+, many are even in their late 20’s, when we see our school mates, who were academically below us, doing great in their lives it really sucks. Some of my friends have completed BTech, MBA and are earning 25L pa, some have moved out to foreign countries and are having a chill lifestyle, some have joined their family business and are happy and settled.
There is so much of self doubt now, I now regret being a doctor. Why did I choose this field ? There is so much of competition already and all this competition is for not being paid well and for working insane hours in residency. Why do 16L+ aspirants are appearing in NEET UG. Someone please go and tell these bitter truths to them.
Saving lives and all are good to hear, in fact it’s the best feeling in the world to be able to help someone in distress but yeh samaj sewa se pet nahi bharta, agar pet bhar bhi jaye toh when you see your classmates chill and earn, it sucks 
.
May be in future when I become a consultant I may earn more, but there is this big fear and too much of self doubt, will that day ever come when I will have money and time both.
I am sorry to all the doctors out there, I might sound money minded and a pessimist but believe me this period is really distressing (Post MBBS joblessness). In fact somewhere or the other most of us are money minded, let us accept this fact, if we are not then why do all toppers choose Radio as their first choice. I am sorry, but I would love to hear from others about what they think about my insecurities which I have highlighted in this post.
