“There is no degree that justifies $150 000+ of debt.”

Orthopedic surgeons average about $400k+ a year.

Medical students are borrowing $300K and $400K on top of their college loans, and the average USMG enrolling this year will be lucky to clear $100K/year after they are done training in 7-12 years from now.

What percentage of USMGs are going to be orthopods or eye surgeons? 4%? 5%?

How much the wealthiest specialists can make working 80 hours a week in the current environment is not a rational guide to how much debt an average medical student should take on.
