He earns good money, not sure if its £100K+ as some do, but certainly in the £50-100K range. He'll be able to earn more later in his career anyway. He'll have 30 years at least of outearning his non-medical self possibly by as much as £50k/year (being State employed there's no real risk of being out of a job). I can't see how that will not outweigh 10-15 years of 6th form and university. Plus he'll have a cast iron public sector pension at the end of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
