These posts always crack me up. As if becoming an investment banker is even an option. That's like saying, "Naw, I'd just go ahead and play professional baseball."
As for me though?... Naw, I'd just go ahead and become an equity partner at Cravath.

I was talking about the crazy student loans for med school, not salary for doctors, heh.""
Opps. My dad borowed 80 and owed 160 after only 5 years of residency. This was in the 80s though so interest rates where much worse. I pray ill only owe 280.

Well, you guys must attend very wealthy schools that compensate their teachers 60K? Or that must be the salary after 25 yrs of experience, because in the san francisco bay area, the teaching jobs pay in the 30K's when you first start out, and move up only a thousand or so each year.
Anyways, my point is that if we paid teachers more, we would be recruiting more educated/smarter graduates into the profession. And our level of education would go up. I know this probably doesn't apply to most of the people on this board, since the vast majority of med students went to private/magnet public schools where there are good teachers. But I'm saying overall education is lacking and we ought to pay teachers more.
Btw, the only have a bachelors or master's degree argument is not a good one. Engineer's and consultants usu only have a bachelors & many make 6 figures... any employer can actively screen among a population with the same degree by interviewing them, testing them, looking at their GPA, etc etc
