My thought too. Even Ben Bernanke. His salary is 180k. Good but not enough to spend 50k a year on med school most likely.

That's something like 1.6 years salary (assuming 6 years of med school)? Seems quite cheap, compared to something like an apartment...

Med school is 4 years at around $65,000 per year (post tax obviously). $180,000 per year post tax is $105,000. So that's 60% of his after-tax income for four years.
