<p>it seems a little weird to compare medical specialties to the entire field of “law” or “business” when one could easily make the case that just as medical specialty can drastically impact that ratio, so can choice of law practice (e.g. public defendant vs. mergers & acquisitions).</p>
<p>I’m also not sure how comparable the status of a medical school graduate is to a law school graduate or business school graduate in the sense that a law school graduate going into a high paying field becomes an associate at a firm with a nice salary while a medical school graduate still has years ahead of them even for high paying specialties.</p>
<p>That being said, I know people who have had the stance for many years now that med school tuition should be free for all matriculants - and it certainly is an interesting idea.</p>
