Is becoming a doctor really worth it in this time and country?

Reeaaaalllly long thread on the topic here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/careers-medicine/74417-is-a-career-in-medicine-really-worth-it.html

Also a better place to ask this question is in the pre-med forum.

The tl;dr all boils down to: it depends. If it’s the only thing you can imagine yourself doing with your life–then it’s a worthwhile investment of time & effort. If you think you’d be happy doing anything else with your life–don’t go to med school.

Going into medicine for the big doctor bucks? Don’t. The ROI just isn’t there.
