It took me 12 years to become a physician, and just 9 years later I chose to retire from medicine.
Did I hate being a clinician?
Nope. Not even close. I really enjoyed working with patients and I like to think they liked working with me.
So why did I retire from medicine, then?
Location independence.
You see, for me, being able to live in different countries was very important. But as you know, medical licenses aren’t exactly portable… This realization was the first clash between my desired lifestyle and the life I had built so far.
Perhaps you don’t care about location independence but there’s definitely something else about your career that’s made you feel this way before.
And if you have, don’t fear. I won’t ask you to retire from your chosen profession or give up your license… (Unless you want to… 🤷🏻♂️)
