If the Govt offered loan reimbursements for doctors who chose to stay in Primary Care, psych, FM, or peds how many would choose to go that route instead of specializing in the more lucrative fields?

Quicky summary:

NoEmployment2: people go into medicine to make more money [than the average worker].

You: My wife didn't go into medicine to make more money [than the average worker] because she chose a high-paying medicine job [which makes more than the average worker] instead of a very high-paying medicine job [which makes much more than the average worker].

Me: The fact that your wife went into a job that pays more than the average worker does not imply she didn't go into that job to make more money than the average worker just because she's from Thailand.

You: This has nothing to do with the average worker, because even though the post I replied to is completely comparing income in medicine to the average worker, the OP did not.

My response:

Me: Uh, so maybe you shouldn't have put your comment under a comment about comparing income in medicine to the average worker if you didn't want your comment to be about comparing income in medicine to the average worker?
