<p>No weekends, and no life.</p>
<p>Guys, you're forgetting that you can just do a ton of cocaine like all the other ibankers</p>
<p>Lol @ Neal's story.
"So you guys work more than 100 hours a week? What exactly do you do?"</p>
<p><em>silence</em></p>
<p>Yea, it looks pretty bleak, but at the same time, it's one of those things that is an absolute adrenaline rush. Plus, it's all about perspective. Sure you get no sleep, but you can do that when you're dead (most likely from ODing on coke).</p>
<p>LOL

Corporate Finance vs. Medicine.
Before reading through the conversation, I didn't think there was even a comparison in terms of money. Definitely some good points by the OP.</p>
<p>Truly, I don't understand where that guy got his numbers for physician compensation. Perhaps it's because I hail from a rural area where physician salaries are significantly higher, but I don't know of any neuro surgeon who would only make 1.28 mil in a lifetime; in my area, it's a guaranteed 500k+ per year for a surgical subspecialty. </p>
<p>I think that if you max out your Roth IRA while in college/med school/residency, you can easily make more than the corporate finance paper pusher and have a nice retirement egg.</p>
<p>But what if something TOTALLY AMAZING happens and I just HAVE TO ADD AN EXCLAMATION POINT!!!</p>
