that's why finance makes so much more sense than medicine if you are only after money.
worked like hell until 30, then retired to have kids.
in med you don't start earning until you are 30.

The threshold is also bound by time. I’m 25 now and I think I need to specialize ASAP because once I hit 30, I think I’ll cross the threshold. I’m crazy now, but time may dull me out.

What happens if you decided to stop “playing the game” before med school 😂😂…. Zero type a of competitiveness left in my body
Yes! I think you are onto something because as I progressed through this journey and life’s experiences, my threshold shifted from “gunner” to instead being happy and healthy. Wishing you happiness, health, and success!

I feel like “gunner threshold” is just ambition

Once I got accepted to med school a few months ago, my threshold hit its limit 😂

After thinking I’d met my gunner threshold to get into my career, I’ve learned it now shifts from active to inactive depending on the environment I’m in/ what opportunities are available

I fear I reached my gunner threshold after year 2 of undergrad and said it’s up to god if I get into med school (I did so we will see how residency goes)

I’ve reached it. Last year of residency and now I don’t study for a goal or even for boards… I study because I love it and want to know everything I can and am excited to learn new things in EM. It’s absolute freedom to finally just love my job and not worry about USMLE or matching.

I also have thought about this too. For now I’m super happy to give it literally everything I have, but I wonder if there will ever be a point where I get too tired. I think it might be when I finally hit fellowship, but even then I’m not sure. Just focused on being my best every single day while I still have the energy and willpower to do so

hit my gunner threshold during my internship.I was at peace not until I got into residency where everyone hasn't reached it yet and the only way to be at pace with them is to pressure myself again😭

Real. I’m not in med but makes sense. I reckon most people go through this process in their late 20s/early 30s. Life needs to be lived and enjoyed after all.
