<p>For now, doctors have reported, depending on their specialty, are able to pay off their loans within a few years (3 to 5 years) on the student doctor network. This could become better or worse, probably worse, if many doctor’s predictions on Obamacare causing more people to get on Medicare and Medicaid occur. I wouldn’t want to be a nurse because I don’t like to be a subordinate to so many people (doctors, charge nurse, etc.), especially for most of my career and I probably would like to do surgeries mostly. I would say follow your dreams because in the U.S., if you live here, those beliefs of following your dreams are becoming slimmer.</p>
