Yes, but I think happiness is a lot of parts together. It isn't just a specialty. Everyone likes Surgery as you're working with your hands, actually doing something, etc. but there's a difference between liking it and loving it to the detriment of other things. In Surgery residency, you REALLY have to love it. I mean REALLY, but you don't just get to cut and you're done.
I don't know, maybe @Winged Scapula will be able to articulate what I'm saying better, as she actually made it to the top of the mountain or @DarknightX.
I've met some surgical residents who either hated their career choice or life in general, possibly secondary to their career choice. Nobody likes Dr. Grumpy.
