Out of my own curiosity: why's medicine painful and unrewarding? I would have thought most non-medics believe it's one of the most rewarding professions to be in, along with nursing and teaching.

4 years of pain in the ass medicial school 3-5 years of SUPER pain in the ass residency where you work 15-20hr days for $40,000.

Then depending on your concentration you can make between 150-300K.

Both my dad and my brother(who is in med school) chose medicine because of the medicial needs in the family than the monetary compensation.
