I know a guy who accrued $400k+ of med school debt and dropped out last quarter. Insane system. I didn't even consider medicine, despite being a top science student, because of the stress.

And god forbid you think you can handle it at 18 years old and then being stuck on the medical track for... decades.

Why did he decide to do so, if I may ask?

That’s a year of their salary. The salary/debt ratio in engineering is lower.

But it's not a year of salary for a med school dropout.
