> minimum income: $420,000 Not bad! However, I imagine there's robots gearing up for this type of job.

Realistically I'm 24, can I still make this career switch? Anybody have insight? No college education. Can I make it by 35? The ROI is much better than development.

Of course you could. But if you are only interested because of the ROI, you will most likely not succeed.

Two best one from Russia: hh.ru - Russian Linkedin. Main difference - works 10 times as fast( while having a quadriple amount of lines in JS ), best UI of any "webapp" I've ever seen for both mobile and desktop versions. moikrug.ru - used to be an amateur blogging website/semi-opensource project to which I contributed at around 2006-2007. Now after being resold and respun 10 times over, it has been turned into a job…

> hh.ru - Russian Linkedin

I'm genuinely impressed. Do you know what is their technology stack?

http://www.gaswork.com/ For anesthesia providers. Simple, and to the point. Job searches are needlessly complicated and so many employers are extremely closed off in terms of revealing compensation and details of the work you'll be doing, which I find minimized on this site.

They did try recently for the absolute simplest of cases. Not too popular- turns out having an MD in the room is a lot more useful if something goes wrong than a machine that can't do much other than tweak dosages. It's not like it can do the intubations either, so any value is pretty debatable.

This is very true. You'll probably hate your MD studies with all your guts by the end of the first year. You'll hardly make it though if money is your only motivation.
