"But still, it just goes to illustrate that a medical education is long and expensive"
It's exactly as expensive as a grad (phd) program without scholarhships, so it's nothing unique to just doctors. Anybody doing grad school without a stipend/scholarship will also be 150k in debt.
Another BIG plus for becoming a doctor....
- There is no....repeat NO...age discrimination! An older doctor is perceived as a better doctor.
In most other professions (engineering, Investment banking), you're a dinosaur if you're over 35. You better become a manager (note, you won't be engineering or IBing anymore, you'll be doing paper pushing and pork-barreling/politics) or else you're gonna feel odd competing against 25 year olds.
Do a google search on "age discrimination" for doctors, and you won't find 2 decent links in the entire 500k+ hits. Do the same thing for engineers, and every single link for 100 pages is filled with engineers complaining about age discrimination.
