What do you think of a career as a doctor?
My thoughts till now:
+ status
+ more interesting than computer science or business to me
+ meaningful work
+ going to college and actually getting a good job afterwards
- duration: 6.5 years til I earn money
- I would have to move away from berlin. If I'm good enough my 3 choices are: vienna, milan, rome
- I would never start my own business. Because I wouldn't throw 6.5 yrs of studying away.
- maybe because of all these refugees and other immigrants the salary for doctors wont rise anymore (and thus decrease because of inflation)
I think financially it wouldn't make much sense. My other 2 options are:

I think financially it wouldn't make much sense. My other 2 options are:
- 1. Study business information systems: than I could have a starting salary of 43.000 - 48.000€ in just 2.5 years. The salary would rise even a bit faster than those of doctors, but I would need luck to earn more than 100k whereas a doctor just needs to grow older for that. Albeit very old, I think a doctor doesn't earn six figures in Germany until he's 40.
- 2. Entrepreneurship: any outcome is possible
