Is it easy to marry rich in medical school?

[Str3ampaw]

I'm a nontraditional student planning to apply in a couple of years. I graduated already and have been working in a software company. I've been making loads of money and I graduated with no debt from undergrad because I finished high school with lots of credits for college. I have enough saved that I won't have to worry about paying for medical school.

My question is: how many students are married by third year of medical school? And is it true that med students come mostly from rich families? I've met a lot of guys in tech but they are all a bunch of weirdos.

Thanks!

The ease of getting married is roughly proportional to your attractiveness and roughly indirectly proportional to your standards

Marry for money and then learn to love.

I really just want a nice guy who wants to have lots of kids and will match into a lifestyle specialty. I'm only interested in derm and want to have 4 kids before residency is over (biological clock and everything!!!) so we both need to have enough time off to help take care of them.

I think I'm Ok in attractiveness, the brogrammers back in college and at work won't leave me alone *eyeroll*.

You will hook up with 6 of your class mates.

Date 3 of those.

Two will leave you because you spent too much time away from them on SDN.

And One of them will love you, truly and deeply, but you won't know that edit he is rich as edit he annoys you with edit his sleep apnea until after you dump edit him for #6 who, incidentally, is the one you marry.


Edits for gender assumption. Bad sullen-burger, bad.

Haha wow I hope I get lucky then!!! I don't know about dating guys I hook up with though, I like to keep those two worlds separate 😉

I've never seen a bigger concentration of people from rich families than my med school class.

But I think marriage is the wrong approach here, you're selling yourself short. Hook up with the richest classmate first. You'll have to lie about being on the pill. A fake latex allergy would be a good step too. Get pregnant, have kid, get back in shape, and cut the cord. Result: $$

Repeat the process each year of med school and you'll alimony from 4 docs rolling in. Result: $$$$$

I like the way you think!!! But I want the kids to know who their dad is because he will be staying with them a lot, I'm not going to give up my entire derm career just to take care of kids full time, what was the point of all of med school then??

I'm sorry to hear things didn't work out with the lawyer out East. What happened there?

 

[Str3ampaw]

Wow hello. ASL?

Only if you share your Step 1 first 😉. That's why I wanted to know how many third year students are married. By then they know their step score and I can narrow my choices down to RICH and WILL MATCH DERM or PLASTICS. I don't want to spend all of my time wooing some poser who can't even test high enough to match out of primary care

I tried my best but lawyers are actually really boring and they work way more than I thought!!! I thought it was like paper pushing for 5 years and then sit back and roll in the dough for life. But I dated this guy who was like 40 and still slaving away at the law firm...not a good choice for dad.

If I told you that I have the money of one of those weird tech guys, the hands of a DO, and a 260 step, would you PM me? 😉

Screw derm, you'll make enough in alimony where you don't need the money. Be a stay at hone mom. What you really need is a way to keep the quality guys coming (pun intended). I suggest just working as a part time second year prof. Grease the wheels with a few of the smart ones, but don't commit to one until step 1 scores come back. Then pick a new daddy/victim.

Thanks for the info!! Do you know how many are married by third year?? I don't want to risk a relationship with someone who is going to score less than 250 on Step 1 unless they have a PhD (since that makes matching into anything a joke) but I will if 1/4 of the class is going to be paired up before third year! T_T

You may be better off targeting a 1st or 3rd year resident while on rotations as they are a known quantity. I am sure there will be Ortho or Derm guys who didnt do anything but board prep in med school and may be easy pickings for a partner. Don't overlook a PGY-1 prelim who may be on a second year track to Ophthalmology or one of the Plastics tracks out of the SFMatch.org (NRMP doesnt do all the residencies). One of my female nontrad advisees went on the hunt, shall we say, and apparently went thru a large percentage of much younger classmates. She decided the potential wasnt worth the years and then looked outside that herd for prey. Eventually, she wound up with a NYPD detective. Something to do with handcuffs I believe was the deal maker

 

[efle]

So your odds are pretty good as long as you keep standards low for all the variables outside wealth. As usual I have data (with helpful annotation):

So as long as you are wise with your saving/spending and can live reasonably well on $500k / yr, you should have at least half a dozen targets in a given medical school class (also assumes you are OK with marrying either sex). Odds are high that one will be ugly and/or crazy or weird. If you go after that one your odds are very solid.

I have one other helpful hint, and that is to dress in a way that telegraphs your eligibility, like so:

Thanks, I didnt even think about waiting until residency! But how do you find time to date working those slave hours? :c

This chart is super useful! I want to have my own kids so I have to marry a guy. A 3% chance is pretty good and I bet my chances are wayyyy better at the elite private schools. Young guy, old money - that's the dream

 

[Goro]

Those who marry for money, earn it.

1) I didnt even think about waiting until residency! 2) But how do you find time to date working those slave hours? :c

1) Might make it harder to pop out all those kids you want if you wait that long.

2) Closets are everywhere.

ah, dating for the young is consider a casual pasttime. Dating as an adult with a full-time occupation, such as medical school, needs to be viewed as a project or task with goals, mission, schedule, etc. My experiences after a lifetime of dating (i am on wife no. 4) and extracurricular activities (why do you think I am wife no. 4) isnt the chemistry, romance, compatibilty, its the logistics! you need to plan and come to agreement before the actual meeting. Tools like Tinder, Facetime, and that new one DocsToDate can help. Of course having read their Facebook, Linkedin, etc you should have a good idea before of whether they are worth the time effort. In your case FAFSA being required for review prior to meeting as well as current FICO and report. For non-med students I would suggest a long form questionaire. However, since your time will be limited so I would suggest a brief questionaire asking for likes/dislikes on food, movies and for the forums sake we will refer to romance. References for the latter with rating scale should be included if available. If none are you do have the opportunity to train and educate as you desire, which can be work but may be a nice perk in the end

Wait, so you want your husband to go into a lifestyle specialty so he can help with the kids... what are you wanting to specialize in?

Like I said im really only considering Derm. Obviously I'm realistic and I know that during residency even dermatologists have to work more than 30 hours a week sometimes. So I want us both to pitch in with the kids! It's only fair. Then when were dermatologists in private practice we can both work 20 hours a week and still make 300k combined

I'm not sure if I'm getting trolled rn lol. But just wait until 4th year/ish and try to cuff somebody right before the match. Good luck with all your love endeavors!

I don't think he meant you should wait until residency. He meant that you, as a med student, should target a resident. Once a guy starts a real job and is around older people who are married he starts to become more open to commitment. When a guy is in school surrounded by single friends who all go out and do single people stuff, he'll be reluctant to commit.

Ooh that's an even better idea.

 

[WunderMay]

Why else would anyone go to med school?

 

[CognitiveSci]

Doesn't it depend on the school you go to? Make sure to get into a school in New England and date a guy with a Jr., III, or IV suffix and you'll be set! 😉

Look I'm just being real. I've been in tech long enough to know that basically nobody gets rich. Also the culture sucks as a woman, way too many bros and IRL 4chan trolls. The world is crazy and I will do ANYTHING to give my kids everything they want. So I need a lot of money, and medical school is filled with A) Rich People and B) people who are about to be rich. Idgaf about society or what they think about me

You seem awfully bent on giving your future/potential kids think they might potentially want.
