One brief clarification. Doc salaries are higher, but cost and length of training is higher too. Four years of college and four years of med school dig the hole very deep. Then three to eight more years often working below minimum wage as the interest on the debt compounds.

Medical school definitely needs to be less expensive to lower salaries. It's also pushing doctors towards specialities that pay more and leaving us with a thortage of GP's
Did they have a choice in their career path?
