07 March 2010 Sir, I am a doctor by profession and am planning to quit my profession for the following reasons.
1)Its really depressing working for long hours in a hospital seeing people suffer. Agreed i am helping people get out of suffering but i cant bear to see myself suffer.
2)Except for the top docs who earn may be rs 1 lac per month starting salary or about 5 lacs per month after 10+ years of experience and that too only in surgical field, The other doctors make about 30000 initially and peak at about 1.5 lacs after 10+ yrs experience. But i got unofficial info that starting salary for CA is 50000 per month for all CAs and peak starting salary for CA starting as we read today ET is about 5 lac pm.
3)I always loved reading balance sheets, ET. I have my own portfolio which i have managed about 80% pa returns averaged over 8 yrs..

I am only a little sceptical about the job security in CA versus doctors.
Kindly requesting all to guide me and correct my above thoughts..

Thanks
Dr Jim

16 March 2010 what u heared is not 100% true. struggle is in every field.
as some brilliant Dr. earns more same story is here, Rank holder earn that amount what u read in ET.
u have to go thru full time training of 3 years with stipend of Rs 1000 pm.
and CA course would take around 5 years.
if u r ok with all this, u r welcome
