You won't make MD money, but you would start around 80k and go up to 6 figs. Just something to consider. I like the idea of making money in 2 years as opposed to 4 years of med school, which means 2 less years of paying and 2 more years you are making money,
I was not familiar with that path. Definetly something I will be doing more research on this week....-thank you!
