The highest paying job you can get with ten years in med school is a job where you follow around people who need medical attention and make small talk. You're supposed to follow them into the bathroom and everything. You can get a job saving lives after fifteen years in med school but there'll be three people also there whose job it is to kick you the whole time and also those people get paid more than you. One of them stops kicking you long enough to get burgers and fries delivered. They don't share. The delivery driver also makes more than you. And they don't even let you fuck the cadavers.
