If I become a doctor, how long would it take to make back the money used for academics (10 yrs)?

Many questions to answer. What schools you attend and how much you had to borrow. What specialty you choose to be your own. How frugally you choose to live after you begin salaried practice. What loan rates you can extract. How you live while being a 10yr student. How much aid you apply for and recieve. How willing you are to pay it all back. And what if you decide to get married halfway through. You'll have to wait until after internship to know how much you owe. Those are all things to take into account during your student career. Best of luck Doc.
