Dont understand what makes you laugh in my post. Choosing medical sector or being a doctor as profession to become rich is a very risky move. Not only a person has to study for many years and pay a lot of money for education, but to become rich «from being a doctor» its close to impossible imo.
Stop making it look scary, medicine is a good and honourable course, a course that is worth building your career if you have the passion for it.
As for being rich, well, that is not the direct case, it's about being successful per se, the two are dependent of the mindset, and surely, medicine will make you rich, no doubt, it has produced many millionares in this world, so the time and energy invested in it is worth it.
However, I don't see the risk you are referring to here, other than the natural risk attached to any facet of life. And I don't even expect anyone to think towards that side. Medicine paves the way for many opportunities all over the world, aside from the pay, so I don't see any risk that is not worth it here.
I dont try to make it look scary. If someone wants to be a doctor - go ahead, I would only support that, as people of such profession are demanded and respected. But, to go to study medicine to become rich, that imo is not the goal of such profession. Those who go to study medicine must focus on helping people, but not to fill pockets with money.
You suggest medicine as a college program that will make person rich. Can you give direct answer then, what should a person study? Which profession he should aim? Being a nurse wont make you rich. Being a pediatrician wont make you rich. Being a laboratory employee wont make you rich. So who among doctor can become rich? Maybe you can give example of millionaires?
