> That's amazing! Agreed. Now imagine being a similarly aged retail service worker, or agricultural laborer, and doing the same. Even more amazing, if rare. The point is: both the drive and capital are needed. This person clearly had both at their disposal.
Sufficient drive begets the requisite capital, but that's even more rare, and arguably more amazing.
OT but does anyone have insight into why there are so few med schools in the US? There are way more prospective students than admissions slots. Are there high capital costs or something I haven't considered that make starting a med school unprofitable even with average tuition fees being so high?

When I was a kid, my dad sat next to a different RadioShack CEO on a plane. He mentioned that I was always in the store and Mr. Roberts gave him this, https://imgur.com/a/BolEA
I know my kid would have really liked something like that.

160k of tuition. 80k x 4 = 320k lost wages. 30k x 3 Delta wages. 500k in costs before your first year of big earnings. You said 30 years. I'm counting 2. Disingenuous.
> 160k of tuition. Missing interest - unless you really want to fuck yourself in the short term. 160k of tuition costs more like $300k with the standard payment play. Good luck if you have undergrad debt. Could easily add $500k more to your debt load. > 80k x 4 = 320k lost wages. Try a number closer to $400k. Also a good portion of MD's take a gap year for research either during med school or before residency. Potent…

But the 300-500k/ yr income is nice. Plus you are the only profession that can legally write prescriptions and do some services. The power of the medical cartels has intangible benefits too.
only with specialists/subspecialists w/ procedures, or surgeons. And if not, prepare to spend a lot of overnights. Family med say $120k starting, Internal med $200k Each extra $25-50k is like another year of training at $50k.
