Hating on a Dr. for having a nice car is BS, but what you mention are failures of America.

Only America trains their Dr. until they’re 35, while having them do nothing towards their medical degree in their undergrad.

Only America saddles then with $500k in debt.

Remove both barriers, and presumably you’d have market forces push more ppl to the profession reducing wages.

"Remove both barriers"

How do you train a neurosurgeon? That level of specialization comes from maybe a few hundred in the U.S. With that level of scarcity (and demand), their time is going to be priced accordingly.

In school.

But s/he needn’t have a B.Arts in management to apply to med school first.

I don’t know what you mean by “Maybe a few hundred”. Do you mean schools or neurosurgeons?

If 1., there are only 150 med school for all Dr. in the US, contributing to a very low number of Dr. Per capita.

If 2. They study medicine. Do residency. And train on the job for the rest of their lives... just like today [0]

[0] actually one of the reasons for medical errors, a top three killer in the US, is that most Dr. don’t update their knowledge one thy finish their residency. :S
