[quote=Anonymous]Med school is REALLY expensive these days. The costs have risen astronomically over the past 15 years. Tuition alone at GW or Georgetown is now $55K/year. That's 220K before you factor in any cost-of-living or loss of salary. Unless you have all sorts of extra cash, that's money that you could be using to pay your children's college educations. And unless you go into a high-earning speciality (unlikely as most of them take significantly longer in residency/fellowship) then you'll likely be making $150K or less as a pediatrician or internist. It just doesn't make financial sense. Go to PA school. A fraction of the training and just about the same responsibilities and salary. [/quote]
