Whatever you do, pick a career that is procedure oriented or in limited supply. I picked Gastroenterology and can see the difference in salary between myself and some of my other friends who all completed training at the same time as me. After seeing pics of the SL BS, maybe you should switch to rad onc!
I know that orthopedic surgery is one of the most competitive fields of medicine, and have been told that I need a 99% on the step one of the USMLE. I just got the program that my school uses to help you prepare for them on your own, which I am excited about/dreading.
Orthopedic surgeons make pretty good money and my girlfriend is also attending med school with me, with an interest plastics/reconstructive surgery. If everything works out I should be in a decent position to get something nice after my fellowship. My gf even gave me the ok to buy whatever I want as long as it costs less than the house(a little extreme, but I'll take that lol). All in time though. Got a lot of hard work between now and then.
If DoctorV8 treats his BS to the new Brabus upgrades I may have to really reconsider my choice of fields lol.

Hard to believe it's been a year since the SL65 BS showed up on that truck from Ohio!
I have your solution.....buy a really expensive house....
I'm going to get the ECU tuned soon, but will have it done locally. Frankly, the biggest issue, even in stock trim, is traction, but seeing how well my CL responded, doing the Black is a no brainer....stay tuned!

Nope, it's the old, stout 5 speed autobox, but with a faster shifting M2 mode....the newer units can't take 1000 N-m of torque....
