In medicine, people are regularly paying even more than that. Med school tuition is in the $60–70k/year range for four years. A top undergrad institution is around $50–60k/year for four years. Since med school admissions are so competitive, many students actually get a master's degree before applying to med school, which is another ~$60k/year for 1–2 years. In total, you're looking at $400-500k or even more in select cases. The numbers vary depending on if you're paying in-state tuition or getting other scholarships, but the numbers above are pretty typical outside of those caveats.
