Anyone else here in medschool?
>haha dude you'll make 300k starting!
>aw man I'm making 600k annually!
I'm already $240k in debt. I can't believe I have to wait 11 years to become a surgeon. All the trash are making big money as electricians and welders right out of highschool while I'm stuck as a slave to the government and stuck paying loans.

at least you love medicine and helping people r-right anon?
Faggot why did you fall for Doc meme
>going into medicine for money
This is how you identify who is not going to make it through medschool.
It's a long term investment and if you don't love it you will burn out.
Once you get a legit job the debt is nothing. I've paid off mine and earn about $550k a yr before taxes. Fuck taxes though god damn. Federal income tax will be your constant enemy.

For what other reason would I go into education or even trade school? it sure as fuck isn't because I like working.
I just finished 1st year so I'm partway through first semester.
I'm Canadian so my tuition probably isn't as insane. Don't know what to tell you though man, I did NOT do this for the money. Not because I'm a moralfag but because the money isn't good enough to do it in the first place.
That said I'm going to try and to ophthalmology which is pretty lucrative in Canada. Hard to get residency though.

through first summer* my bad
240k in debt? You need to just keep pushing man, you gotta finish this shit.

>For what other reason
Because you like helping people on some level. Sure, you might also like the money, but if you have no desire to help people then you chose the wrong career. All medicine is suicide tier; especially fucking surgery.

I'm this guy >>38351170
Yeah that's pretty much it. Medicine is by definition suicide tier (we kill ourselves a lot). You need to have the devotion. Personally I don't give a fuck about myself and this gives me purpose because I do care about patients.

You're at least more intelligent than 90% of people. I come from a long line of doctors but decided to do law instead, I'm a failure.
>>38351207
I will. I'm doing very well grade-wise.
>>38351211
I do like helping people and saving lives/not being a burden to people is great. But I'm not going to bust my balls off to get chump change.

>But I'm not going to bust my balls off to get chump change.
You're in the infancy of your career in medicine and you're already whining about not enough pay. I hope you don't think residents make the bigbux, because you're going to be very disappointed if you do.
Just suck it up and get through it. You'll be paying a shit ton for your loans, but you'll still have more disposable income than you'll know what to do with.

Okay anon I understand. I'll keep your words in mind.
Boohoo poor you.
Fuck off successful fag.
