I completely understand what you are saying but to say that time does not equal money is just a false statement in the real world.
Officer's pay (which I'm not by any means downgrading) is what, perhaps 80k a year (I'm not saying that this is not enough to be happy, but just evaluating it from an economic perspective)
A PCP will earn, let's say 180k a year (100k per year more than officer pay)
After taxes in each scenario, say that difference is only 60k per year.
Assuming you live the same lifestyle, even if you are 200k in debt coming out of med school, you are coming out ahead after 3 years (and significantly more each year after that)
Again, this is not to say that you are not going to be happy with your decision - it's just that opportunity cost must always be factored. I.E. - being forced into pathway A does not allow you to pursue pathway B, therefore you lose X amount of $ (money lost, whether in the form of loans/debt towards education or from the opportunity cost is the same in the end)
