I am in seventh grade, but still determined. I know about an average of 14 years of schooling and being in debt about $400,000. I plan to take on jobs the minute I turn 16 and now will start saving every penny. I want to use my math and science talents to help others, but don't want to be put into the spotlight. I have never gotten less than an A in my life and know I must continue this path in order to become a radiologist. Before I read this article I wanted to be a radiologist, againto help others without being in the spotlight. I know about the possibility of my mother going into financial debt, but I won't let that happen. I know radiologists make from 100,000-600,000 dollars a year. In life management we have recently calculated our average yearly spending rate (without a spuose or children) mine was 50,000 dollars a year. The leftover money (50,000) is going to go to college debt. At this rate it will only take me 8 years or less to pay for my college debt. While I am working as an intern my mom has said it would be acceptable for me to live with her, as to not drive me into debt further. During college free-time instead of going to arties I will be constantly studying, in order to become a radiologist you must be at the top of y our class for everything. By following this plan I will become a radiologist when the world needs them most. I want to be a radiologist. I am in seventh grade, but still determined.

I went into medicine as a second career, starting medical school at the age of 31. When I started medical school I was debt free, with a decent amount of savings. 8 years later I have over $300,000 in debt, work over 100 hours a week trying to support my wife and 3 children (who I never see), and am absolutely miserable. I still have 2 1/2 years left in my training and want to quit every single day. However, I am locked in by the massive debt, the years invested in training and schooling, and the lack of other career options with a medical degree. I was lured in by the illusion of what I thought practicing medicine was (opportunity to help people, prestigious, financially rewarding), and not by what practicing medicine truly is (government bureaucracy, long hours, declining reimbursements, poor family life, high stress, etc..). For all of you considering a career in medicine, run. Run while you can. It is not worth it, and is only going to get worse in the coming years. I am currently a 4th year radiology resident.

I am a 8th Grader and trying to reaseach what types of classes I need to take for next year. What state do you live in? From what I have read... it determines where you live on the payscale.

I'm now taking my first semester at a community college and for some reason reading this has intimidated me a bit. Getting into ked school is a huge concern but the time it will take to complete everything is also a concern as well. Not to mention I dont want to run my parents oe myself into the ground financially. I have no idea what to think or where I sould start at this point and how do I know if this is something that I really want to do? Anyone havw any advice? I'm at a standstill..
