On some quick googling the mean debt at graduation from medical school is about 250,000 (this includes undergrad). This number is trending upward. There is also the opportunity cost of 4 years additional school and 3-7 years of getting paid 60-70k.

Most doctors end up making between 265k and 382k per year, this varies wildly (from pediatrician on the low end to brain surgeon on the high end).
