    Doctors make good money and we don’t have enough of them because it takes so much time and dedication. You think getting rid of money would help there?

    Yes. There are easier ways of making money. If you do it just for the money you won’t have the mental fortitude to get to the point of making money. Profit motives is about the path of least resistance.

      Lol what MD is the goto job for making easy money. Getting the degree is difficult because everyone wants to do that job, not because it’s difficult per se

        Pretty much says everything about why your wrong on this. Being a doctor is hard. There are far easier career and business if profit is the motive.

        Beyond that are doctors that rich? They are wealthy, but the Zucc ain’t no MD. Neither is Warren Buffet.

        My point is that someone motivated by money will drop out of the MD path. Being a doctor is a career of passion that also happens to pay well.

        Engineer is similar. Take some differential equations or read Jackson EM. There are easier things to do for money.

        I know someone who make similar to a doctor with a seafood restaurant. Particularly when you consider fewer hours.
