The proliferation of for-profit medical schools is helping to cause this issue. Take a look at how many 60k+/yr schools there are in the Intermountain-West to address the physician shortage in the area. Almost all are DO schools, not MD, and have poor placement. I have a cousin that just finished her first year with full loans at one of those places. Her parents are fully encouraging her to go down this route. She wants to be an ortho surgeon, they see the median $alary, not once do they look at the match rate from her predatory school.
My wife had a full ride to a UC state school, NIH funded MD/PhD program, 5 year categorical surgical residency, two year post-doc in a lab that just made international news, is about to start a two year cardiothoracic surgery fellowship, and will spend at least one year afterwards sub-specializing. She will be at least 37 when she finally starts practicing, she began med school at 20. When she talks about quitting and moving back to the beach to run a chocolate shop, I say fine, because we have no debt. No family money or connections, just old-fashioned work on her part.
A lot of those ER docs take the position after 3 years because their high interest loans are a giant weight on their back. Starting salary for a resident is ~60k/yr

Sounds like you have dumb asses in your family. Anyone smart enough to actually be admitted to a real med school (MD and DO) should understand that "for profit" schools are a way to print money for the owners and matching into a specialty with high salary is uber competitive.

Not really, anyone that's going to med school should have a clear understanding of how the matching process works and the chances of obtaining a specialty residency coming out of a "for profit" school. This isn't rocket science, all the data is easily obtainable or just a 5 minute conversation with a third year med student should do it.
What's next a guy that finishes night law school thinks he's gonna end up with a job at a Wall Street firm because he watched Wolf of Wall Street 38 times ?
Ghosthop probably wants to call his cuz /uncle/aunt dumb asses to their faces but doesn't want to create WW3 in his family. The myopia of someone who thinks they're attending a for prof med school will end up in a orthopedic surgery residency is flat out stupid.

Not dumbasses, but ignorant to the rules of the game they're playing. Our parents generation were the first to get 'white collar' jobs after a long line of working-class people from Appalachia.
We'll see how my kids do in twenty years before I start trying to give advice to anyone but strangers on the internet.

It’s odd. Med school kids want to save the world. God bless them. And they should get paid. And their parents will be so proud. lol.
But NP vs MD. pay compared to the lost income and debt. And stress levels. Fuck the MD or DO route.. . .

Can we get back to discussing careers involving animal ejaculation? I’ve watched dog breeders do that.

OK I think this thread has made it clear.. SYF needs to go to med school but avoid the ER gig long term. Tons of old farts in this thread who need therapy and a good psychologist..
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

If any young person is going to teach it better be in a public school system with a solid DB plan. I have lots of friends in NY retiring at 55 from teaching.
Big city school districts are a whole separate world from suburban districts. The challenges and burdens of inner city teachers are far greater than suburban teachers.
