A few friends in the medical field are finding it increasingly difficult to make a living out of the medical profession. The medical field has a high barrier of entry. Many doctors are saddled with a great deal of debt after 8+ years of medical school followed by an internship.
Once in actual practice, liability insurance, office expenses and poor payments and delayed reimbursements make it very difficult to earn a profit and run a business.
Contrast this with someone who might study to be a software programmer or network guru who might study for a couple of years at a technical college or perhaps be self-taught for a few years and starting salaries in the 80k, you have to wonder if a person is better off being a “computer doctor” than an actual medical doctor.
The computer doctor isn’t going to have to worry about liability insurance, insurance companies not paying on time or other such nonsense and there is a clear advantage here in favor of the computer doctor.
Food for thought….

Forget medical doctor, and forget computer doctor. Go doctor of pharmacy. That’s right, your retail CVS pharmacist can easily command $100k+. Plus, you don’t need medical school to earn a PharmD. Just an extra 18 months of school and you are good to go! I know two recent pharmacy grads, both of whom are earning at or near $100k. (Oh, and by the way did I mention that they are both 24!!!!)
