I did a similar calculation with my S.O.

At the time she's licensed, she'll be over a million dollars behind where she would have been if she went straight into industry. Break even is something like 25 years down the road - even with "high doctor salaries"




a million dollars behind where she would have been if she went straight into what industry?


I based it on her Biochem degree. Many of her peers who decided against medical school went into medical related fields like pharma and medical engineering.
