I love how this is the description for making <150k.
I'm being intentionally dramatic.

Here's what it comes down to: why should I desire to provide services to a society that does not properly value those services? I don't owe them a damn thing. And, looking at the economics, 150k would be apocalyptic to my future, given the opportunity costs and my debt. Just the interest on my loan and taxes would eat up half of my pay, leaving me with a fairly paltry salary for the 60 hour weeks I'll likely be putting in post-residency.Solution: Bankrupcy & never taking a loan again for the rest of your life.
@Mad Jack you selfish (i.e. economically intelligent) sonofab*tch.

Cuz you're a nice person that likes to help people. Turn the other cheek, Jack.

The hysteria in this thread is a little mind-numbing. There are psychiatrists soon after residency making north of 250K in state prisons. Do you know how much nurses make? You think physicians are going to make less than nurses and PAs???
Does anyone actually have insight on this matter?
