Yeah... enjoy that. I was led to believe it's not worth becoming a doctor what with the rising malpractice insurance and whatnot. Not that I want to help people medically anyway.

Not worth it is dependent on who you ask. Sure you can make more going to a fancy law school or business school. But I wouldn't trade my career for anything. Being able to help sick people when they are desperate for help, even if you can't heal them is a huge privilege. There is something about helping people that I can't explain. Never went into the field to get rich (have lots of student related debt) but I will be able to earn a fair wage while do something I love and make a difference. If you are thinking about it I would check it out.
