Certainly, but there are plenty of ways to earn a decent income that do not require that much cost or commitment. I wouldn't recommend medicine to anyone who doesn't really want to do that job, regardless of the finances.
What is this "retire" that you speak of? Is that some type of punishment for living too long?
