The next time you're visiting your local medical professional, take a few moments to look past the three-figure salary and fancy car that you imagine this person has. Instead, think about what it took for this medical professional - doctor, dentist, whatever - to get to this point in his or her life. Ask yourself why you didn't pursue this same career path. (Sorry to exclude my medical professional audience in this paragraph) If I were to ask myself why I didn't become a doctor, I'd first say that the years of medical school required for such a high-profile profession were just too daunting for me.
Thankfully, though, these torturous years of medical school aren't overly daunting for thousands of other medical professionals. God knows we need 'em!
But, you and I both know that college is expensive. Medical school is expensive. And this unfortunate doctor brings a whole new meaning to a life burdened by student loans. Read about her $555,000 student loan debt and you'll think twice before glossing over the fine print of anything for a while.
