Because of that I'm kind of depressed and wondering if I can do something else altogether. I know it will waste my 5 years of medical training and all but I believe this is for the best. I was thinking of Australia as an option to further my medical career but I can't bear to leave my family behind as well. I also want to settle down and be capable of feeding my family (especially after the wrong decision of spending half a million studying medicine) . Any senior advice will be very much appreciated. I'm quite stuck and not sure what I should do next. Should I locum? Where to locum? Open a GP clinic? But that needs a lot of capital too.
I think u are getting burned out from the system. Look at the bright side. After you get ur license, u can work in chain clinics or open your own GP clinic. Ur life is set for the next 30 years. Compare to corporate slaves, we need to work forever and see a boss.
