[quote=Anonymous]The problem with medical school these days (and especially going later in life) is that medical school has gotten REALLY expensive. Tuition alone (so no living expenses) is $75K/year at all the area schools (and every school in the US except for state programs). Then you'll be loosing income for a decade plus (you are paid during residency but only $40K a year so it's essentially a wash). So grads coming out of school these days are $300-400K in debt unless they have someone else footing the bill (parents, the military, a high earning spouse, etc). It didn't used to be the case. My husband went to Hopkins for med school 15 years ago and his tuition was 35% of what it is today!! In those days it could make financial sense to attend at age 40 and work for only 20 years. Now it may not make financial sense to pay all that tuition money (and decade of lost income--which is HUGE) to have a 20 year career. [/quote]
