... money would someone need to give you for you to not go to medical school ?

I'd love to say they couldn't, but obviously everyone has a tipping point. It would have to be an eight or nine figure amount, at the very least.

Edit: Should clarify. With this amount of money, I'd be able to buy myself into a pretty nice institution. I'd study neuroscience from there 🙂

Fits my passion, and while it isn't medical school, it's a damn close second.

I would need to be paid in personal fulfillment. If that were a trade-able asset, then the answer is a lot.

A quote from a doc I work with: "Some people become doctors because they want to help people and all that jazz. Some people become doctors because they don't want to look in the mirror and vomit."

I thought it was that they just returned to the happiness that they started at soon after winning. I know some crash and burn, but I thought those were like the <~$1,000,000 winners, not the multimillion $ winners.

For $1.4 million, before the several year bull market, I would have considered it. Then again, not sure I would have known what to do with the money at that point.

Anyway, wrapping up med school now. Matched yesterday. I guess I'll just go be a leader of modern medicine.

Lol'd. Congrats on matching! Fantastic job 🙂

Enjoy (as much as one can) residency!
