Since its written in the US, it may not be as applicable to Australia. However, it reflects most of the accounts which I have heard from the few people I know who have become doctors. When going into medicine, people often think that its glitz, glamour and $500k pay checks. Deep down the pay to effort ratio isnt very good. In saying that though, I'd still do medicine over my current degree any day.This was an eye opener for me.

1. This one depends on how well you manage your life, some do it better than others. Make an effort to keep in contact and you should be fine.This was an eye opener for me.

I've also met people who didn't finish school and earn more than those people combined. This is what we call anecdotal evidence: It's useless.i know a plastic surgeon who owns his own airstrip and private jet.
also know an opthamologist who brings in approx $ 6 mil a year without breaking a sweat working in private.
yes doctors can be filthy rich, but most are probably earning around 200-500k pa.
i have met these people irl so no bull.
thats a 1 in a million ratio. compare that to the 1 in 50 for these guys once they get into med school.I've also met people who didn't finish school and earn more than those people combined. This is what we call anecdotal evidence: It's useless.
That's a gross income before taking expenses into account.even if u dont end up being a top notch surgeon, an average GP will still be making 250k pa average GUARANTEED.
but for some1 who doesnt own their own practice, theres no major expenses. maybe only a couple of grand for insurance.That's a gross income before taking expenses into account.
Agreed. It'll depend on what your circumstances are but if memory serves me correctly, the actual average (not the median) net income for a GP is around 170k.but for some1 who doesnt own their own practice, theres no major expenses. maybe only a couple of grand for insurance.
ur only major expense is when u own ur own practice (rent, receptionist etc), but if u do you will be earning a lot more than 250k.
