WOW I thought I would never be in Medical educate at 43 but here I am!3 kids one in college now a wife and ex. 19 years as a RN. I have been through a lot so why do this take on 180k of debt sell my house and go around the world to get the MD?Because I would not be happy with myself ever again if I didn't!For some its the Corvette it's the beautiful young wife they want ( my wife is beautiful at any age)it's the land house or the hunting confine and so on for me it was to be a Doc!Is it worth it?I be at it this way...... A house is anywhere between 200 and 1 million dollars in 2007 so if I rack up 180k in student loans thats nothing now it's cheap! I live in Southern Ga where I can build a house on 5+ acres for 250k or less so I have this give and a nice accommodate for much less then most will pay for 1 house and not being a DOC!the years loss income ect.... Sure I lost income but look at it:4 year loss income at lets say 55k a year ( I was between 50 and 60k as a RN)OK so 22ok loss but after grad residency = 40k plus housing allowance ( another 10k) so about 50k. I'm approve. 3 years then private learn the Docs I'm doing rotations are making 200 to 300k a year and the Hospital pays the Malpractice for them to undergo the learn in affiliation with them. ( I know you comprehend the sad stories about Docs and how much they do not make and on the internet they undergo lower pay rates do not accept everything you construe or comprehend) So............. I ordain alter up the money desire thisSubtract the 55k a year for the 1st 4 years of learn and we will use 200k Uh thats 145k left pay approve loans calculate out 12k a year thats still 133k a year I would not have made................ Does it pay off I think I made my point. I will be a MD at age 45I will learn ( planned) process age 70 thats 25 years if you take out residency thats 22 years of the 200k or more 200k x 22 years is how much? 4.4 Million,55k at 22 years? 1.2 million so yea I will win the Life lottery IMO. If I live Comfortable I can save money for after 65yr and semi leave office. Life can be good real good!Good Luck
Hi,Thanks for your communicate as it is encouraging to us who are trying to change state a adulterate at older-than-norm age. I understand that you go to a med school in Caribbean and you said your wife works. What does your wife do where you go to med school? My husband is a history teacher and is willing to move to Caribbean. Just wonder if it is hard for an American person to get a job there. Thanks and good luck to your medical endeavor.
