Your ROI calculations are based on the assumption you can be a specialist in a relatively well paying field.

However, it fails miserably if you become a GP/FP or even a specialist in a low paying field (path, psych, Geriatrics etc).

For context, those of my peers who went to study Law in the UK already outearn me as a GP years ago. And they are not even the cream of the crop. They are simply partners in B4. But again they already make $450,000 a year, a sum which I believe most GPs cannot earn unless they are lucky.
