Answer 1

First you need to get a bachelor's degree (most likely in one of the sciences such as biology, chemistry, etc..), then you have to apply to and get into medical school (that's 4 years for bachelors and then 3 years for medical school) After that, you will need apply and get accepted for a residency program in psychiatry (which will take 4-5 years depending on your area of concentration). You will be paid during your residency, however, it is a minimal amount compared to the long hours you will be working. Also, all told your debt (and this is a very conservative estimate) would probably be well over $100,000 and up (unless your family is very very well to do and can afford to foot the bill).
Starting physicians do not make much money in a group practice until they get established patients and more experience. Those in private practice make nothing until they have a good volume of patients. Most physicians work an average of about 50 hours a week or more...some less obviously. With the amount of responsibility and culpibility physicians have regarding their patients, am not that if someone is looking at medicine as a career "for the money" if that would necessarily be such a good idea!
