I LOVE MED but if I study for 14+ years and only make 100k I dont think ii’ll be worth it.



If you wouldn’t do it regardless of the money then you shouldn’t do it.

If health care reform causes people who wanted to go into medicine in whole or in part for money to go elsewhere then I only see this as a good thing.

Last time I checked there was no shortage of people applying to medical school. There are plenty of highly qualified applicants who want to, and will become, wonderful physicians regardless of how much they are paid. That said, physicians will always be very well paid relative to the average worker… just maybe not quite as high as it’s been in the past.
