Don't mean to come across as cocky but when one has substantial loans after any course of study - whether med school, business school or any other field - one does need to consider earning potential to meet loan obligations and not have to struggle for years thereafter.

It is a point that I have made to all my children and anyone who asks for advice. Pursuing one's passion is all very well but in the end one has to consider earnings potential as well if one is taking on a lot of debt.[/quote]

By that logic we wouldn’t have any pediatricians for your special snowflakes. [b]Or what if you didn’t have a primary care doctor and could ONLY see a high priced specialist for any and everything?[/quote][/b]

My experience is that primary care physicians are increasingly a conduit for getting a referral to a specialist for anything that is remotely outside of the norm. Yes, run of the mill ailments and routine physicals are handled by a primary care practitioner but just about anything else results in a referral to a specialist. So, more often than not, I go to the specialist directly without seeing a PCP.

I’m the opposite. I very rarely see the specialist and my pcp is able to keep me healthy and even manage my autoimmune disease. To each their own, but I’m thankful I’m able to keep my copays and medical charges down by not running to the specialists.[/quote]
