Not sure where you went to med school, but couldn't be different for me for med school and residency. Very little of being a doctor has to do with money. If I wanted money, I would have stayed in software and not gone another half a million in debt.


But the median salary of a doctor is much higher than the median salary of a software engineer; or is it just the debt that you mean?


Both - I spent 6 years not making any salary, plus another 4 making less than a software engineer, and on top of that I took on a lot of debt.
