Cannot take the hardwork.
Those that make to ac leave after a few years, or find their spec boring
Residency and specialty training is like finding a spouse.
You think you will love her/him.
Promise till death do us apart.
Rubbish. After a few years you will get sick of the spec, or find the daily grunt unbearable
Why do you think residency attrition overall is 30% and divorce rate in singapore is 30%
Many residents are on life support, so do marriages
The daily grunt will wear you down, no matter how much you love it at the start.
You may find it unbelievable but you will find yourself in same shoe a few years after you got into the so called residency love of your life

I just got into residency after mopexing for around 3 years. I can safely say that residency is stressful not just because of clinical work, but also because of a whole load of extra clinical commitment (e.g paper work- all your minicex, cbd, etc, research, teaching commitment..) I feel that this is something that people need to understand before embarking on residency
You may enjoy a specialty while doing mopex posting, but this may not be the case once you become a resident...
