Is it harder and less promising to go into a career of psychiatry or to be an attorney?

A psychiatrist is a physician specializing in diagnosis and treatment of brain injury and mental conditions. After a bachelor's degree, which is heavy into the sciences, you will have to apply and be accepted at a medical school. Then comes four years of medical school and up to five years in a psychiatry residency with maybe another year or two in a sub-specialty fellowship. To be on staff at any hospital or contract with most insurance companies, the psychiatrist must sit for rather comprehensive certification exams in both general and specialty areas. Psychiatry is among the worst paid specialties in medicine. Most physicians leave medical school with more than $100,000.00 in medical tuition loan debt. However, the demand is strong and a new graduate will find employment relatively easy.
After a bachelor's degree, and acceptance to a law school, comes three years of study. You will have to study for the bar exam after law school. You will have some debt.

Attorney is less school time..
but I would much rather be a psychiatrist.
They both make excellent money, but as a psychiatrist I would feel like I was always learning something new. About the people, the mind, etc. It's very interesting.
Lawyers.. I don't know.. They get to argue which is GREAT for anyone who loves to debate.. but it's probably more stressful.

Hmm, well in either career you have several years of schooling to consider your options. Both fields demand intense commitment to education, internships, and finally the work itself. You would be well compensated in each field, but it may come down to your personality for which line you might be better suited for.

considering you at the instant are not into uninteresting stuff i might propose which you wreck into the image layout(picture artwork) team or the form layout. they may well be the main suitable ones. The advertising may well be a strategies too uninteresting i might say. My generic one may well be the image layout. you will get very distinctly paid for it it extremely is a stable course to do. you will possibly get distinctly paid for trend layout in case you made it and grew to grow to be in call for or have been given a stable deal, yet it fairly is quite not likely and you will possibly prefer to be soooo sooo resourceful and non-biased approximately clothing. i might sugest to do the image layout.

Attorney is easier because its less schooling, but I hear they are unhappy. So, its a toss up.

Law for sure! You pretty much have to have a phd to get anywhere lucrative in the psychology field.
