5. Pathology
While Pathologists, next on the list of medical specialties with best quality of life have the second best burnout rate of 43 percent, when they do have a burnout it seems to be stronger with the severity of burnout of 4.4. Only 36 percent reported being very happy at work, and 66 percent reported being very happy outside of work. About 30 percent of Pathologists claimed that they take more than 4 weeks of vacation. Not having patients is one of the perks of Pathology, as well as possibility of working 9 to 5.
