This is not a question about which is better in terms of wages, etc. I am just asking upfront it appears that MD is more expensive, I have seen numbers like ~$40,000 for the tuition. However, doesn't an MD require only 4 years? And then I look at just a regular PhD. which appears cheaper, but most often does not take only 4 years.
So I am kind of confused about the math here. Would the total cost of the education be the same amount in the end with either? Because one(MD) seems like I will be paying more, but for a fewer years, but the other(PhD) I will be paying less, but for a longer period of time.
