The dilemma I'm facing right now is also about opportunity cost. Honestly, money was never my concern though. I'm well acquainted with the compensation side of medicine (I worked for a consulting firm, exclusively dealing with physician compensation, for three months). What scares the hell out of me is spending 7 years in the prime of life in classrooms, clinics, and wards. Medicine is crazy-exciting, but during that time, I could do what I'm doing now, and keep working in international development, in foreign countries, with lots of interesting people. I just don't know..... The kicker is that I have three med school interviews coming up at the end of the month... Love this post.
