I think you misunderstood the hypothetical scenario, which is based on
the premise that editing Wikipedia is more exciting than mowing lawns,
flipping burgers, or selling products door-to-door (to cover any
extant deficiency in financial aid). Incidentally I'm sure some would
dispute this premise. Obviously one would go to med school to pursue
their own dream of becoming a surgeon or a dermatologist or whatever.
Ah, you mean editing in their spare time to fund their way through med
school? I think that's one serious problem with that - you don't get
spare time in med school. It's very intensive.
