[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote] Tech in a heartbeat. My kid is currently a junior and doing all of the things she needs to do to go to med school. My niece has multiple offers and will start med school in the fall.

I am in tech, I make 7 figures year in and year out. Given how smart both kids are I could have either of them making $500K by the time they are in their late 20's; it would not be a particularly difficult task. [/quote]

I would certainly like to hear more about this path...I think a lot of parents would. Seems like there are different barriers in tech though not as regimented as medicine.[/quote]

Tech is great. One of my kids is going in that direction with Engineering goal of R&D in a private lab one day or startup with friends which is common at their ivy. The other kid is premed and like your niece will have no trouble getting in as they are already top 20% at their ivy. The two kids could never swap and do each other's future job despite both being highly intelligent in STEM. 
To the PP, no, "parents" should not be trying to learn about tech v MD and somehow persuade your kid toward whatever you see as best for them. The kid should decide. IF it is right for them they will get there, tech or MD or biglaw or some non-celebrated-by DCUM job.
