<prompt> Human: Hi Guys, I wanted someone to listen to my situation and give me some feedback if possible.I know I want to be a Doctor. So early this year I finally got into a medical school after working at getting in for the past 4 years.The main problem with this school is that it has an enormous tuition. I am basically going to be paying 70,000 in tuition every year. Now this makes me very uncomfortable. Many people in their lives make much less than that in 1 year and I am going to be giving this school that much per year for the next 4 years. This is something that makes me very uncomfortable to live with. There is no guarantee that I will get a job when I graduate medical school. nor is there a guarantee about what kind of an income I will have when I graduate.I am posting here because I dont have many people that I can get advice on this kind of life decisions and would like your inputs.Should I take the offer and pay up? or should I re-apply and hope to get into a cheaper school which itself is a gamble and might not happen?financially speaking, is medical school a good reason to go in this much debt?  <response>: If there is anything else you could possibly want to do other than medicine, you should get up and leave now.That was the first thing my class was told in medical school, and we all laughed. After all of the hardships and hoops we jumped through to get in, there was no way we were getting up. However, after a year or so you start to think back and wonder what if. I am a physician now, and honestly couldnt imagine doing anything else. But, I dont know if thats a result of having been through medical school and residency. At some point you realize that medicine is what you know. There were times all along the way though that I thought, I could have been an engineer, or just about anything else. You will make the money needed to pay back the loans, dont let that be your deciding factor. What you need to ask is, what else could I possibly enjoy as much or more than medicine? Right now you think of saving lives, and the respect of being the doctor. Try to imagine 80h work weeks and the stress on any social life you may have. Much of your time will be spent with paperwork and numbing questions from staff. There are pros and cons, and you need to decide if the balance makes medicine your conclusion.
