If you are not physically ugly, should consider mid career switch to aesthetics. I’ve made the switch and not looking back. Take home 25k/week. 9-5. 5.5 days/ week.

Best kept secret in medicine!

No problem! Ugly also can. My classmate sibei fugly but wear make up ++ still able to make it. Most Sinkies are daft and will believe anyone selling them treatments.

The saying usually goes, the Dr who graduate last in class also called Dr.

Now can say, the Dr who graduate last in class also can be called Aesthetic Dr.

JSKM!

Lol the valedictorian from my YLL batch… book smart but not money minded. He rather spends time on oncology clinical research and clinical teaching… earning a salary of $20000 a month after so many years of residency training. While I am already the co-owner of an aesthetic clinic… we have 3 branches in SG already

Sadly no barrier to entry for you, and a constant race to the bottom. Even M2 want to do aesthetics now. Matter of time before the market is saturated and fees drop.

While he is only building up his moat. He will easily make more in 1 year than you can in 10 years.

But then, why compare? Happy can already.

Lol money isn’t everything.
While he’s there saving lives, you are there beautifying Aunty’s faces.
To each his own.

Wait, serious? Aesthetic can make 100k per month? Are you on the higher end of the spectrum or is this average?
