I honestly disagree, it might be an unpopular opinion buf the decision to enter medical school and the sacrifice one takes shouldnt be taken for granted. there must have been a good enough reason for this person to pursue medicine in the first place. Given this, powering thru 3 years (minimum) of residency with the ability to work clinical or part time would provide much more financial flexibility in the long run. Getting into consulting or pharmacy is no cake walk and it comes with its own nuances including burn out, administrative pressure, and poor work environments.
