Not sure how you did it. Undergrad and now these three years of law school are probably going to do me in.

I’m definitely not leaving college until I earn some sort of advanced degree. Definitely masters, not sure if I want to go PhD yet, I’ll know by then if I want to go all the way.

I would totally not be capable of that long of a sustained effort. Cheers for your success! I stumbled into software engineering, which is its own brand of lucrative.

Congrats on being a doctor. Personally, if I had to do it over again, I’d be a large diesel mechanic or a cad/cam machinist or tool and die maker. More money in that than my desk job, especially if you open your own shop. I think the trick isn’t stay in school, but find a marketable skill in school, hone it and make it one that provide a living.
I’m of the firm belief that you will never be wealthy working for a company or someone else, you can only be wealthy if you own the business, but there is a lot of risk in owning your own business.

Congratulations! It’s a tough road - my wife is a doc, and I don’t think people appreciate how much hard work / training you go through to get where you are. And it does seem to me that your lifestyle varies greatly depending on specialty.
Gorgeous car, too!

Counterpoint: go to school for business and side step countless years of school.
Don’t go into medicine if it’s only for the money, kids. You will regret it. Same goes for law school.
I do recommend secondary school, but even a 4 year isn’t necessary in some cases.

My girlfriend’s hair stylist drives a new x5m because she liked the way it looked more than the normal x5.
Guess it’s not hard to afford that when you charge 70 bucks for a wash and cut.

So you’re moonlighting detailing cars?
just kidding. There has to be a silver (or chrome) lining to the dark soul-crushing cloud that is medical training. Enjoy!

I did. But then 2007 happened and brought all kinds of fun with it. Tl;dr -> My life was destroyed and I lost everything. Lives were lost. I’m the only survivor and school isn’t and option anymore; with the way things are, it’d be like trying to go back to Chernobyl.
All I can do now is keep my head above the water and hope the next economic collapse doesn’t pull me undertow. At least I can’t lose anyone this time.

But those student loans obviously stopped you from purchasing a real Porsche. ;)
That is a beautiful Boxster though
