[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much money do you have?
Med school (John Hopkins) is $20k
There are other ways to make money. Do it if you really want to. Explore other options like pharmacy or veterinary school.
I bet that you can make the same amount of money in other professions too. Do not do it if you are only interested in money.
There is actuarial sciences that might interest you.

If this is still what you want, but do not have a rich daddy, then get a secondary certification that would allow you to maintain a nicer pay part time job, like hair dresser or pharmacy technician. To become a dr is about 10 years of study. You do want to live as well [/quote]

This is a top 10 of 2023 dumb post.  Medical school is way more than stated.  Anyone really thinking of medical school has no interest in pharmacy or vet school or actuarial sciences.  Medical school is not about the money.  People go in knowing the money and it is nice but it is a calling.  Money is great and maybe would not do it for free but that is not the motivation.  It is not just another job that you can compare to another.  Yes you do want to live but not sure how medical school and training impacts that.  Sure it takes time -- you also have the rest of your life.[/quote]
Drs are jerks and are in it for the money 
I know 1 person who dropped out of medical school because he said he doesn’t like being around sick people and is terrible with the human connection that the job requires.
His classmates were in it for the money 
Look up on some discussions on Reddit [/quote]

Very stupid to be "in it for the money" because the lifestyle sucks.

When you consider the delay in earnings (don't start making real money until mid 30s) and the hours, the money actually isn't all that great.[/quote]

Now you are off.  In no profession does the money come before mid-30s.  Money is actually great depending on specialty.[/quote]

You don't have to wait until mid-30s. I got a BS in Computer Science. I ended up in that area because I didn't know what the heck else to do. I was a lousy student who skipped classes, didn't get assignments in, and got bad grades. I managed to scrape through and graduate, and then ... something kicked in. Maybe I outgrew ADD and developed some executive functioning skills. I started out doing simple programming at 22, and one thing led to the next. I started my own company and was making a few million a year at 25. I was never particularly interested in what I was doing, but the money kept me going. I retired at 33, and my children are now reaping the fruits of my labor.
