hahaha...i gotta agree with all of the above from psedrish and bigndude
It will take the average doctor (I'm using the number you gave us: $155000/year) around 13 years to accumulate 1 million dollars in post-tax money.
And that's assuming this doctor doesn't repay tuition debt (on average $100000), doesn't pay for medical malpractice insurance (increasing every year), and doesn't pay for those other things in life (housing, food, cars, spouse, children, vacations, retirement accounts, etc... etc...)
As such, I think it's really unfair (and untrue) to state that doctors are in their chosen profession for the money.
So again, is it good money? Sure!
Will it provide for a comfortable style of life? Absolutely!
Is it popstar/athlete/multi multi millionaire money? Certainly not.
