Indeed but very few earn 300k-400k in their first years either. In the same way no junior S&T sandwich fetcher makes an MD salary in their first years.
I haven't read a single post from this thread but a decent med-specialty and becoming a Director on a desk are going to have similar ten-year income potential. Residency pays $60K on average. Nobody would enter the field if the potential was 2-3X Residency pay.
