Hello people of the Fastlane!
Joining this forum seems like a big step towards a change that I am looking for. I am a 26 year old medical doctor, and for the past year I have been working in the emergency medicine department. I enjoy my job, but I don't feel that being a part of the big medical system is a right path for me, mostly because I sensed that a lot of my colleagues, old or young, are quite unhappy and work way too much. I come from a country where being a MD will earn you a decent living, but far from rich, and the amount of overtime work is just crazy. People my age that are starting families along with a job like this are living on the edge of a burnout and don't have enough time for their families, and even less time for themselves. It makes me sad, thinking that I might end up the same, so I want to change that, and have more time for the people and activities I love. As you can probably tell, I was tricked into the slowlane - finish a good school and you will be successful; I was never really an entrepreneur kind. Luckily, I stumbled upon The Millionaire Fastlane , and even though I had no interest about such topics, got the urge to read it. And man, did it change my perspective on things, especially on the idea of success! Really, a life-changing book; even though my change hasn't started yet, but it made me feel ready for it. But I still have no idea what I want to do! Med school maybe didn't bring me the passion for that profession I was hoping to find there, but made me confident that I have the discipline to do anything. So I am hoping that engaging in this forum will bring inspiration and good connections - my eyes, heart and mind are open.
