        The meal allowance, health insurance (I imagine it’s pretty much free health care?), book allowance, and commuter assistance represents a pretty significant bump to the value of those salaries, though.

          What’s the expected lifetime earning difference between a CAA and a Dr of Anesthesiology? I’d imagine it’s pretty significant.

          Thank you for your attention to this matter.

            Yeah, but most residents aren't going to become Dr's of Anesthesiology.

            Mrs. Phibes best friend from school, massively hard-working, dedicated, very bright - went to college hell-bent on becoming a specialist. Then real life happened, and she ended up as a GP, which she always said was never going to happen. Not bad money, but not spectacular, either, and from what I can tell pretty stressful.

            I was only joking

              There’s a lot more to it than that, including timing of earnings…

                The doctor my wife worked for, did what many physicians have done...He did a hitch in the USAF. Others go Navy, Army or Public Health.

                  That is a good idea. A friend (many times removed) did this. I think he was required to be in the Marine for 8 (or 10) years, but had all education paid in including medical school, and he got a lot of experience

                    We had a guy in our residency program whose medical school tuition was paid for by the USAF. Somehow, he was able to wrangle a deal so that he could finish his residency before repaying the "debt." He owed them one year for each year of school they covered.

                    He went in as a captain, an MD anesthesiologist, and left as a major. He returned to work with us for about 10 years, iirc.

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      Luke has given thought to the military route. If he changes his mind it will likely be the route he goes.

                      For him, I think what swayed him to the path he is on is mostly the time… Another 4 years of intensive schooling (60 hours of studying per week), followed by another 3-4 years in residency (70-80 hour weeks), then starting his career and looking at 60 hour weeks of which the first few years will be dedicated to paying back a house worth of debt or is owed to Uncle Sam… For Luke, that heavy of a schedule just doesn’t match up with the other things that he wants in life in his 20s…

                        At least they don't tend to shoot at you in the medical corps.
