WWW- The Doctor is buying into his INVESTMENT in that practice. Who is selling the investment? The senior partners in the practice, of course. They are now reaping the rewards of having been partners before. The Doctor will eventually recoup his money as he retires. Same goes for Accountants, Solicitors, Architects, etc, etc.
A pilot goes into PAID employment, not a partnership agreement. And, to my thinking, £22,000 does not equate with £75-80,000 for pilot debt, after potential additional type Rating and Line Training expenses.
And, after my edit for pause to think further, a pilot goes ito a £20,000/ year job, not commencing at £55,000 like your doctor. (Although, somehow, I doubt that a doctor makes that much at the start of his career.)
