I certainly understand that that's your opinion. And you're welcome to it. I also know, as a medical student and the wife of someone who's already finished med school and been practicing cardiology--working an average of 14 hours a day, five to six days a week, for 25 years--that it's a level of work no one who's not been through this training or profession can ever begin to appreciate or conceive of. The moment you get into it and try it for yourself, you'll see, real quickly, that it is not about money. Money's a nice by product for the specialties that earn large amounts of it. But money's not what motivates people to work this hard. It's an interest in the work itself and the people it serves.

Apply. Go to med school. Begin doing the work. You'll see what I mean real fast.
