You don't just pop out of medical school (6 years after college and 150k+ in debt), and land yourself a 6-figure job.
I spent Saturday with a friend and his brother. The brother is a 4th year med student at CU. His tuition alone is 100K a year. He says he'll have just at 500K student loan debt on graduation day.
After an ER residency of approximately 4 years where he'll make low wages he can expect to top out as an ER doctor at about 250K a year.
Medicine is a tough way to go.
Law school isn't worth the time or effort or money at the moment. there are no more sure deals anymore.
