I dropped out of medical school after the first year and the misery that my then-peers face NOW is astounding (quarter million in student loans isn't even considered "that bad" to the doctors that self-funded, young). Fifteen years later and I still owe debt on that one expensive year!
If your doctor is under forty years old, you're probably doing better than (s)he is, financially (particularly less-specialized practitioners). IMHO, you cannot pay a person enough money for the sacrifices required to enter medical school within the past two decades (i.e. since computer-adoption revolutionized industries).
- Kon-Peki 4y agoA friend went to med school and when he couldn’t afford it anymore he joined the Army, and got it all paid for. Turns out they need pediatricians too. Spent 15 years delivering service member babies at Tripler before “retiring” and going into private practice. Didn’t get rich, but never had to deal with insurance companies and got to shop at the Pearl Harbor commissary.
