For many (probably most) med students, residency is the first actual job they have. Just like you say, I would have been ok doing FM/IM/Psych/Neurology, but I chose IM in the end because years in training, flexibility, and the ease to make 300k+/yr which was my target salary. Anyone in medicine who says they can only see themselves ?happy (whatever that means) doing only [insert specialty] is just immature.
I am a med student. I could see myself happy in many specialties, as long as it provides me with the money, lifestyle, and degree of geographic preference that I want (by that not necessarily big city). I can only think of 3 or 4 specialties that I would hate because of the work itself.
