Careful now Spanky.... I have known quite a few people that have gone through medical school. And becomming a doctor does not lead to the big bucks right away like people think. First off, most doctors are staring down the barrel at 100k+ worth of loans to pay back when they start. Second, since medical school and residency take take so long 8+ years, most people are in their early 30's before they are even earning a decent paycheck. Not to say that is does not turn itself around later in life, but it is not nearly as glamorous a lifestyle as some folks think.
