All the young GP's in my area Quit after a few months, because they run themselfes ragged for nothing.
there was a survey done in the UK a few years ago that compared professions with ordinary jobs and the earning potential of both.

It took a doctor something like 15 years until he earned more than bus driver, when you calculate the years training, expense of training and the time it took to earn the money. A teacher never overtook and a nurse was way behind. Some people do things for the love.

But that article seem to praise being a scrooge, I don't think going into debt by spending more than you earn is good, but I'm not leaving anything behind for my kids.
