It seems that many of us are interested in family med and primary care and would do it regardless of the pay scale. However, after reading this thread:

...I became aware that some are making as much as $200k with loan payoffs, sign-on bonuses and more. I'm an older first year student who's considered the military route and loan forgiveness programs and also so-called "direct primary care" models. I'm looking forward to practicing medicine, but it would be nice to have a centralized thread for talking about who's making what and where. I'm interested in finding out which loan forgiveness programs are best and how to maximize my income as a primary care physician (without being a specialist outside primary care).
I've done a good deal of research on my own, but would love to hear from those with more experience and knowledge than myself.
