depends on what you mean by enjoyable…

Every specialty has it’s benefits and drawbacks.

Emergency is great for those who want to have a more consistent schedule (from the shift work), like the adrenaline rush, and want to deal with acute problems. The drawbacks are that you don’t get to develop long term relationships with your patients, people usually are very angry at ED staff b/c they’ve had to wait a long time (average time in the ED is 4+ hours in most places), and the shifts don’t allow for any sort of breather.

But you can go through any specialty and come up with things that some people would love and some would hate.

On the whole, from what I’ve heard, Optometrists and Physician’s Assistants rate some of the highest job satisfaction…dentists some of the least. But in each field you will find people who hate their job.
