http://www.mexicomedstudent.com/2006/10/565 Every journey has a pitstop. Welcome to mine. Sat, 24 Oct 2009 23:12:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 http://www.mexicomedstudent.com/2006/10/565/comment-page-1#comment-115624 Jeremy Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:22:11 +0000 http://www.mexicomedstudent.com/2006/10/565#comment-115624 This is a very good article. I liked your little comment about double-parking the Bentley. My fiance and I are both 32 years old. I am at a bit of a career crossroads and am considering med school because psychiatry seems the only way for me to advance in my mental health career that will both provide a solid income and allow me to continue face-to-face interactions with clients. Given our age and the desire to have children in our mid-30's, what suggestions do you have to make it work? We would obviously become a one-income family for quite a while and she doesn't make a whole lot. Family help is not an option. This is a very good article.

As a 20 yr. old nurse, I get the impression that more often than not the intern doesn't take me seriously as possible relationship material when they find out my age (which is somewhat understandable since most are least 25, and I don't think that I would take someone seriously who is 5 yrs. younger). I also feel that most don't think they have time for a semi-serious relationship, so they make themselves unavailable unemotionally, OR they are emotionally available since they're so stressed and need some comfort, however by the 2nd year they're back on their feet and don't need someone as much OR they think that only another doctor could understand what they're going through and don't think necessarily that someone else in the medical field could have an inkling as to what they're going through since nurses do go through that themselves, but to a lesser degree.
