Did you literally just have to use a calculator to figure out 100k * 10?
The average physician in the US makes about 150k tho, so even if your assumptions are correct and the doctor never holds a job while they're studying and it takes them ten years to get started, you're still comparing 3M to 3M over a 30 year period.
There's also the fact that they're going to get a lot more respect and a lot of intangible benefits from being a doctor.
There's also the part where you posted that you had to work seven days to make 2k in a week, which barely puts you over the line of 100k with literally zero days off. :(
Its even more than 150k I think. That looked closer to the base pay for out of school grad in a gp position. In Canada the average is around 225k.
Its reasonable to say that after a total of 20 years the Doctor has out earned him. And of course all that other stuff you said.
See if o/p is still making "the big money" in a year when he gets layed off from his $$ job that he fell into because of the fact he has no real qualifications.
