There's only one kind of MD that makes real money. a Managing Director. Unless you invent a new breakthrough drug (in which case you'll be richer than hell) you'll never be raking it in as a doctor. Maybe plastic surgeons to rich people aside. You'll be making 200k as a doctor while you could have worked just as hard and earn 500k, 1mil, 2mill in something that's actually lucrative like investment banking or venture capital. Basically, if money's the chief aim, you gotta pick a career that actually gives you a decent shot at it. |

the people that end up being rich doctors are smart guys with a head for business. These are the same guys that could have been CEO's, managing directors etc and would have been a shit load richer if they were in consulting/i banking
