Public Health pays the lowest physician salary, averaging at $249K/year. That already puts you in the 2%. It does not put you in the top 2% if you have a tax rate of ~45% and a post-tax student loan payment of $4k per month. Until your medical debts are paid off - you're not making much more than a mediocre mid-level SWE can make at an average startup. And you have to put up with the misery of being a doctor, as well as the misery of medical school.
