It all depends what type of practice is hiring. With time and good work, salary does go upward.

Your calculation is not realistic since there are many other areas such as professional career jobs (Engineering,medical, nursing) it would take lot more years to 'brake even' with lot more responsibilities and risks.







Impress me..with your intelligence and wit. :-)
