I am currently a college student seeking a degree in the medical field.

Some might need certain benefits and have large medical expenses that would be completely different than someone who wants to maximize retirement contributions.

Might try to see it from the "teacher's" side, would you want kids going through Medical School learning crap and then going out treating your family?

That's right at the national average income for my medical specialty, but people don't realize the sweat and training it takes to get there.

GregIf he is an employee of yours Workers comp is great protection for him AND you.His regular medical coverage will not pay for injury expenses.

It seems like it has potential for rental income, a lot of properties are under 200k, and there is UMass medical school there so lots of renters.

With the medical district set to be complete by mid 2015, the areas you are searching for and currently live in are going to  be in high demand.
