I know it may be too early to worry about my future, but I figure why not start worrying now? ;]

Anyway- here's my "dilemma". I'm planning on pursuing a career in the medical field, most likely something cardiac related. I'm worried about being able to pay off the cost of college and medical school. Is it true that you start making money during residency? If not, when do you start making money, and usually how much do you make starting off?

If you are a doctor or you know someone in your family who is a doctor, how long did it take them to start working in their specialized job, as in, how long was it before they became a brain surgeon, podiatrist, cardiologist, or any other profession? How does that work?

Is going into the medical field really rewarding or is it extremely stressful?

Thank you for any responses =]. (link)
I don't know about the medical stuff, but I am familiar with student loans.

As long as you accept student loans as it is subsidized. Unsubsidized would mean that you will immediately start repaying your loans as you accept them. With a subsidized loan you will begin payments 6 months after you graduate by way of a monthly payment.

Thank you for that information. I'll keep it in the back of my mind. Obviously I can't give you a 5 since you didn't address the medical stuff, but that's alright =].
