Question
I am hoping to become a Psychiatrist someday, right now I'm entering USC next year and my major is now Psychology... I think this is the career path I want to take but I'm still not quite sure.  I know medical school is very rigorous, but just how rigorous??  I would also like to maintain a normal life and I don't mind working hard, but I want to have a job and go through college and any other graduate school where I won't be stressed constantly.  Is medical school and residency long hours and in general, what is it like?? Thank you very much.
