- samstave 10y agoMy family friend was top cardiologist in the Bay Area... His grandson became an anesthesiologist - and he paid his grandsons medical school bills with the edict for him to pay it forward. The kid graduated at ~22 with an initial base salary of $350k --- I work in health tech. I designed and built many of the Bay Area hospitals you might be familiar with. I can't even break 200k
