What do you mean "it's not worth it anymore"? Money? Status? Fame?
My plan is to complete a science degree and pursue postgraduate medicine in Duke-NUS or Australia. Also, no. Pursuing medicine for me was never about money/status/fame. There are so many other careers out there when I can receive the above mentioned things. I’m not gonna mention my reason, but it has nothing to do with the above.

Thanks for being so “encouraging” by the way. If you’re a local doctor in Singapore, I can see why people claim that the environment is so toxic. It becomes not worth it to me, because I genuinely hope to pursue a certain specialty for reasons I will keep to myself. Once again, no it is not about the money. I was just wondering how many people apply to the specialties they hope to get into year after year to no avail? Especially for more competitive ones.
