Well, there’s someone out there who is white or Asian that didn’t get to become a doctor. Are their kids as successful?

Otherwise I agree with you. It’s in the past. We all have advantages and disadvantages, whether genetic or societal. There’s no reason to feel bad about something in the past you had no control over.

They don't get into medical school, they have a pre-med/biology degree. Make $40-60k/yr. Maybe 100k-200k if they are exceptionally talented

vs...

250k-1M/yr

The difference is being middle class to being upper class/upper-middle class.

The school district differences are stark. So yes, these kind of things make a big difference.

We really just need to remove power from the AMA/AGCME in this specific case. It hurts everyone except the Physician cartel members.
