I am debating betweeen a career in finance or Medicine. If i pursue the former I likely wont be able to break into any quant firms or hedge funds. Regular BB IB loses out to Medicine in the Long Run so dosent seem to make as much sense to pursue that. If i pursue the latter i feel that I would be able to acquire a high value skill set. I am also relatively business and financially savvy so I would be able to start a clinic or invest money aggressively so my wealth would hopefully grow over time.
The question is Medicine vs Finance and I am concerned abour risk adjusted return rather than just starting pay

Finance is too risky, anyone can go into it with any degree. Takes more connections rather than true skill.
Why not consider Law? It has intellectual rigour as well and it has faster career trajectory compared to med.
