httpvalid said:You are so bad in absorbing details is amazing, and not to mention a complete in inability to spot the main point.
Your question is essentially meaningless, and you are apparently not intelligent enough to make your own decision. Instead, you ask internet strangers their opinion so you have someone to blame if their interests don't end up matching yours.
Did I leave anything out? You seem to be missing the fundamental fact that what makes others happy doesn't necessarily make you happy.
The fallacy is similar to:
1. There is a probability of .5 that a coin flip is head.
For a fair coin, this is absolutely the case. Unless this is another one of those examples in which "the numbers don't tell the entire story" or some other similarily vague and covering statement that you seem to favor.
Base on 1, it is wrong to say "the next coin flip is a head".
Nobody said this. If someone did, they would be wrong. Applied to your situation, the probability of you making $200k right out of law/med school is decidedly less than 50% (as evidenced in the graph provided by D H), so while the statement "You will not make $200k after graduation" is not valid, the statement "You probably will not make $200k after graduation" certainly is.
The graph is not sufficient to "inform".
Nor is saying "I think I can do it." Sometimes reality gets in the way of one's hopes and dreams. Evidence has been presented that the majority of new law and medical school graduates do not make your target salary right out of law or medical school. This isn't really a groundbreaking way to present relevant information...
Being in a physics, math forum, you sure have difficulty understanding basic probability.
And yet you're the one that expects to make $200k by 30 when you haven't even passed law or medical school, much less the bar or residency. What was that about probability?
