Which type of Doctor is best to become?

I am unsure which doctor is best to be? And by best I mean good, like good salary and also many years of practice before you become it?

Don’t worry many years ahead you will find lots of oppurtunity - money shouldn’t be your motivation

All consultants in the NHS are on a basic pay rate, so roughly earn the same. Some specialties have more opportunity in the private sector and can earn more money that way. But as said above money shouldn't be your only motivation, and I really wouldn't call a specialty the "best," just because it earns the most. The BMA has a specialty picker for members and it got mine pretty spot on, past that explore and find what you enjoy in medical school and beyond. There are plenty of years to make a decision

Ok thx for the response, I just realised I said 'best' and tht would be merely impossible considering the fact that the medical field revolves around thousands of jobs, so u have a point. Anyways, If you are a type of doctor I just wanna know ur experience like the challenges etc, becuz I understand tht there is a long time, and I will find oppurtunities on the way, but some motivation would be if had a GOAL, and right now Im not clingin anyways thx!
