Unless they had rich parents, they also have mid-6-figures in debt, so things get a bit esoteric at that point. Money flows in and out very fast, and if there’s an interruption, everything can fall apart very fast. Also higher chance they have a substance use disorder and unhappy marriage. The average internist or general practitioner makes $144k a year, which is less than a lot of ICE agents now (who might actually be trying to arrest them). All in all, mixed bag, and I have friends I wish would have NEVER become doctors because it’s killing them slowly.
My doctor makes 6x what I do, and takes a month off every time there’s a holiday. I don’t think she and I are living on the same planet.
