What about the years of low income that go into medical training, including residency? That's a huge opportunity cost, and I don't think the above analysis covered it (unless I missed something.)
I live a very simple life. I have no debts of any kind! I don't have a physical office to go to, so I am generally in total control of my environment. I live in the city, so my commute is a two-minute walk across the street to the coffee shop. And underneath all of that, I actually enjoy what I do!
I'd have to be paid many times more than 190k to put up with the BS that doctors have to deal with on a daily basis.
The point of all of this is that if you play these trends out another few decades, software will continue to rocket forward, while medical care will become much worse. Like I quoted above, don't get sick.
