Well if you never had any money and live on section 8 all your gonna want is money. I have to take the bus everywhere I want to go because my mom doesn't own one, and I don't have anyone else to rely on. You wouldn't understand because you probably never waited for a 2 buses for an hour in sub 10 degree weather to get to school or work. I'm pretty sure I can get through college and med school if I've been going to school from 8-4 run extra fast with little recovery and leave track practice early then work from 6- 10 at mcdonalds and still make a 5.0 GPA on an honors grading scale I could do anything I want.
Cocky as hell, aren't you? Sit down for a few minutes and think about what you typed up. Aren't even in college and you already think med school's gonna be easy and you'll be fine, you better be motivated as hell for it and actually like the field, not just the money. It's people like you that screw up people's impressions of the medical field, please get off your 5.0 high horse and wake up.

We are in the top 2% in US based on net worth. Cars aren't going to keep you happy for long. Find something you care about is what you ought to be considering in choosing your future career.

We prioritize saving above all else. Lucky to be able to have something like this.
Physician and car guy. Daily drive a 2018 Porsche 911 GTS. Previously Cayman GTS (2 seater mid engine). Before that 1st generation Cayman S. All great cars, and all with manual transmission. My commute is a joy. I love my cars and I love my job. Debt free, otherwise I'm pretty frugal. I buy these cars because they give me great joy, and I don't care what others think. But I went into medicine because it was a meaningful profession. It's a long hard road, there are easier ways to make money if that's your goal.

even if I did make the big bucks I probably wouldn't but more than a subaru or something similar. Cars are pretty stupid
My career has been all over the place in a combination of startups, consulting, and strategy/innovation roles. Tesla Model 3 is the best car I've ever owned. I'm loving the free charging and not having to go to a gas station again for the foreseeable future.

2005 Scion Xa. It's extremely reliable, and to me that matters more than a flashy performance car. I'd rather spend my money on good food and wine. Sorry.
Firstly: big shout out to the guy who bumped a 5 year old thread and to all you cretins who are chiming in to bash the OP. Strong intellectual stuff here.

OP - a car should not be the goal of your desired field. If you want to own a particular car, most legitimate careers could provide that, based on your spending (especially if you think a GT500 is an exotic, "someday" car).
Don't see how most fields couldn't be within the medical field. So engineers don't design and build the tools and machines doctors use? Yea, the doctor would do so well being able to correctly define ailments without the MRI machine designed by an engineer. Accountants don't deal with the solvency of hospitals? Actually the way health car is going less of the field is doctors and more is paper pushers/insurance agencies ect.
Really as you say in the second half of your post, any career can give him a car with well thought out spending, but the same goes for a degree and where you go with that. The OP seems to latch to the medical field because he correlates it to money, but it is good to note there are many degrees that are in the medical field and make good money doing so but aren't a doctor or nurse or even work at a health care provider.
Don't know if your post was an attack on mine for chipping in as an engineer, though I've consulted at hospitals so could be considered to have worked in the medical field. I believe we had the same sentiment, that a car doesn't matter and anyone can get an awesome one with budgeting. I remember when I worked in a warehouse to pay my way through college the other workers had nice mercs and such, because they were silly and highly valued the prestige of an expensive car. I may be over reacting by writing this as I don't see myself or the accountant? With the 2005 Acura bragging about their cars. I hardly think a low model Volvo or the soon to be grand caravan would be bragging.
Never saw this post, but it makes me chuckle (and yes I realize most any job could be "associated" with the medical profession). You missed the entire intent of my suggestion: people unrelated to the OP's original question will rush to brag about what "cool" car they have.

I work in a medical field and I don't drive a car nor do I have a driver's license. I run or use a push bike (or occasionally public transit) to get around. I think that it would be very hypocritical of me to work in a medical field and to drive a car because cars cause grave physical danger to others including children, take up space in urban areas, and pump out toxic gases which cause many severe respiratory and cardiovascular problems over the long term.
Aren't you the pompous, precious, virtue signaling, snowflake.

Whether you're a physician or not, I think you need to look at other things beside the kind of car you're going drive. One poster mentioned how "hard" medical school is......you haven't even gone to college and you've planning on when you're done with med-school. Understand medical school graduates often have large amounts of debt. Good luck.
