What do you do that you earn six figures?

It seems like a lot of people make a lot of money and it seems like I’m missing out on something. So those of you that do, whats your occupation that pays so well?

Eh don't let this guy scare you that much. There are a lot of good reddits even a doc one (r/whitecoatinvestor) that provide basic tools on how to not fuck up and survive your middle years and old and can't have young people fun years.

+1 on white coat investor. TLDR: Basically live like you’re in residency and med school until you pay off your loans.

Med school was fun (make friends), residency sucks even if you make friends. But, almost done with residency and things are looking better. I’m glad I did this rather than some tech job working for random x company. Even if you’re employed by random x hospital, you’re always helping a patient directly

Just tested on 7/30. Browsing through these threads. Hopefully living my entire life in poverty doesn’t make me want to let loose immediately after I get decent money.

If you don’t mind me asking, how old are you? I’m in the same boat but retaking the mcat in January and trying to figure out if I’m 100% in on medicine.
