I did include med school debt in my figuring. Yes, relocating would make things a lot less pleasant for both of us. And the difficulty of fitting children into a really busy next decade makes me sad. But not 2,500 lives worth of sad.
I think even if I become a great social worker (I think I can become quite good, but not great), the impact of my work won't be as large as the impact of my earnings.
It sounds like you've pretty much made up your mind.
I'm clear that there are ways I can have more impact than by being only a social worker. I'm not as clear about which other option I should take - whether that's a non-social work career of some kind, or combining social work with other work (such as philanthropy outreach).
