what do u think is the best feild to specialize in , if you are a doctor?

Question

I cant seem to choose a speciality

Answer 1

There are a lot of things to take into consideration, and the salary should NOT guide you completely, or you will be miserable throughout your life. Think about what kinds of patients (age, gender, condition) you want to work with, the kind of schedule you are willing to work, and the aspects of medicine you seem to be best at. I'm rather surprised that if you have gone all the way through medical school, some specialties haven't popped out as being more appealing to you than others.
