plus when i finished IM residency at 29... i was completely burnt out on studying/school. the thought of grinding another 3 years to make an extra 100k a year before taxes didn't seem worth it. I had already given up my 20s to school and didn't wanna give up my 30s.

hospitalist is another good gig if you don't mind the hours and paging. My brother does that and makes a good 50k/year more than me. Works 12 hour shifts for 2 weeks straight, and then is off for 2 weeks straight.
LOL we are the same person. I'll also finish at 29 and like to put in the bare minimum amount of effort/stress. My only gripe with the Hospitalist route is likely giving up half my weekends.

I'll probably end up settling down in Southern California so my COL will be much higher than yours. Hopefully I can get with a babe in the same profession to boost income.
