Not a doctor, i spent 7 years on post secondary education and i barely raked in a 5 figure student debt to pay off at ultra low interest.

I had a friend studying to become a doctor. Because of that, banks allowed him to take on huge debts and he bought a brand new fully equipped wrangler. No wonder doctors have 6 figures debt if that's what banks allow them to take... I knew someone else in dentistry who bought a BMW.

Knowing that will make money, they take on more debt. Then they ask to raise salaries... It's a system that attracts greedy people, the type that will move out of their home country just to make now money.

For me, it would take about 4 times my current salary to move away, because all my family and friends are here.
