Granted u put 300k as initial investment.
But confirm minimum income 10k after 5 years.
Ya ho and mo life pay no good.

But u must consider.
U go study law also 200k. But may not be 10k after 5 years.
In fact may not get traineeship positions. Then lan lan become teacher or admin.

Yes u can be some big shot ceo if u study biz but u can also be ceo if u study med.
Think raffles medical ceo.

Bottom line if u are good, then whatever u study doesnt matter. Coz u will make it big anyway

If you are no good, then med is safe and guarantee minimum 10k
This is a troll post with so many assumptions that the writer is confirmed not a doctor, or at least a very junior one shiitposting.
There are so many barriers to entry to studying medicine in the first place (as a local, not a FT doc who can easily get into med schools in their home countries and then jump to practice in a first tier country), that if you have the smarts and gumption for medicine, you could do a whole lot better in IT/tech, finance and a myriad other careers with less sweat and tears. My JC classmate is a FAANG CS engineer in her late twenties/early thirties with easily 200-300k per annum working from home (9am start in bed and no 6am rounds), and she said her boss just a few years older is on 500k.
Only do medicine if you like suffering and helping those in need.
