FP Pros:
- Cool and 'un-hectic' Residency which is easier to get
- 9am-5pm kinda cool job unless you take the emergency / Ob-Gyn track
- If you prepared work hard - pays can match IM
FP Cons:
- You get a 'Jack-of-All-Master-of-None' Feeling
- Few Fellowship options - Geriatrics, Sports Medicine, Emergency Medicine, OB-GYN
- Got to stick to the primary care-world
