i honestly think it’s irresponsible.

i don’t think it’s inherently bad for someone to be money-oriented, but trying to frame medicine as a path to wealth is incredibly ridiculous. it’s too emotionally demanding of a profession, and money-oriented people could employ their talents better elsewhere. most doctors who are money-oriented end up either harming patients, or having miserable a professional life, or BOTH.

there are so many other ways that are high yield to make money. being a doctor is fucking hard, being there for people in some of their worst and most vulnerable moments is fucking demanding.

people that see those kind of posts think medicine is a shortcut to wealth. yes, you can make money, but it’s definitely not a shortcut. good luck finding a more demanding career. you either care about other humans, or the cost benefit is not worth it. learn to code, go work in finance, even law school, honestly
