But the truth is doc starting pay at 3650 is still higher than many of the other universities grads. It offers 100% employment rate.

A levels students know it. Each year local medical school is oversubscribed by 10x. Even post graduates are willing to spend another 4years to get a medical degree.

For equilibrium to reach, a thirty percent pay cut is needed to reduce the applicants number.
Right now demand for medical school spaces are still high.

I would say doctoring is still a very rewarding career. As long as wages stagnate or drop by less than 30%.
