Do you think you'll be
more successful that your parent money-wise?
Me: Currently doing 4 years in college to transfer to med school for another few years. Median salary of a physician that specializes in internal medicine: 98k.
Dad: 4 years in college. Electrician. Median salary: 60k

i dunno, maybe
no idea what i'm even going to do as a career and i don't know what my dad/stepmom make
if i got my ass in gear at work i could probably make as much as my mom though, it's just a thought like that doesn't make anybody feel accomplished
Probably.
I sure hope so.
yes, i will o;
I don't know but I would rather have a job that I like than a high paying job that I don't like
@infferrno Damn your rich
Oh man, I highly doubt it.
My Dad, Anesthesiologist= 100+$ an Hour
My Mom, Running an Urgent Care=$$$$$
yea. my parents came to maerica with nothing, so they don't make /that/ much
[quote=squaids]You're forgetting that the pay of a junior doctor is crap and that's after you've graduated from your 8 years of studying. In this time, your dad would already be 4 years worth of pay AND experience ahead, not to mention his student debt would be A LOT lower. You'll be working for quite a few years before you break even with your dad..
Anyway, I'm going for dentistry since I cba with medicine any more.[/quote]
Only 8? What crackjob doctor only goes for 8?
I hope so.

I know; 170k in student loans, etc, but it's a pretty solid job and it'll be better in the long run.
Random person: Hey, what do you do for a living?
Me: I'm a doctor -- I save lives.
Random person: wow
Let's see...
My dad has over 100 patents, he's the chief scientist at GE. He helped invent the CT/CAT scan. He's published two books on whatever the hell he does there. When he tried to retire, the company gave him a huge raise/bonus.
I want to be a surgeon...
Close call... lol I doubt it...
EDIT: He pulls in almost 300 grand a year. X_x; Then he scuttles it all away into the bank/stocks. xD

Yes, or I'll be a failure.

edit: FFFFFF
My dads a taxi driver so probably.
