So surgeons get paid very well so I'm now trying very hard (umat prep papers every two days) to try and get into UNSW medicine. Now, people have told me that I shouldn't because I don't have the right intentions, but I just want to become rich. I go to NSG and I'm doing quite well, so I'm capable of getting into the course.

Anyone else feel the same way?

If money is your desire, you will probably get their and be very rich, but when your 60 years old, and will be alone you will regret it that you chased money your entire life, and will die a lonely death.

...Please don't take a job saving people's lives for the sake of money. I might need use of your services later in life and I would like it if you actually cared for me as a patient to survive.

In the wise words of xXmuffin0manXx,

Better to have the know-it-all ace surgeon who chases money, than a surgeon who has 50/50 chance of killing his patient, yet loves his job.

Also good luck studying about 11-14 years of your life (Intern counts as study), and paying back a ~300-400k HECS debt. :cool:

You wont start making real money til you're about 38-40. lol old.
