    working hours of doctors, from interns to specialists

    hey guys, just wondering does the working hours of a doctor ever go down? Say you start on a 70-80 hour week as an intern, does that ever go down if you become a specialist? or do you work that long indefinatly for the rest of your life? What are the factors that determine this?

    Career Advice - Promotions in a Law firm?

    yeah thanks frigid, i read your post just after i started the thread. But another little question is, does the amount of hours you work ever drop? Say you start on a 70-80 hr week at whatever 50K, do you maintain the work load your entire life even up to a senior associate?

    Career Advice - Promotions in a Law firm?

    i was wondering what the promotion outlook for law graduates are. Do they change depending on if you work for a large firm or a small firm? or does it primarily depend on how hard you work and how good you are? Can you expect to get promoted after a certain time? And by what level and how...

    UNSW please explain...

    yeah i did everything right for the late application. I have a friend pravski, who started the other thread, who got the 99.85/164 who made it, so in theory i sailed over the mark much more than he did.
