Histopathology
Is specializing in histopathology worth it? Seems like alot of effort with not much benefit. Considering that versus just leaving public and doing locum gp. However, I'm also a bit sick of seeing patients and abit burnout so want to go into histo. Anyone laojiaos can weigh in on this?

I’m worried the flood of locums (around 30++ from my batch alone) will have unintended downstream consequences for the job market and ultimately might be more prudent to stay on. A lot of students are also planning to break bond once they finish HO (from what I have heard). Thanks

rhetorical question?
You also know the answer. Stay on better for long term stability. But stay on is tough in the short term.
Full time locum is better in the short term in all ways. But long term may regret.
Question is how risk averse are you? How determined and flexible are you? Are you adventurous? Enterprising? Good at finding opportunities? Good at making things work? Or prefer safety and stability same old same old?
You can answer the question yourself.
