Braindead money-driven MOFO (Medicine vs Finance again)

I am fortunate to be an undergraduate at a T10 target and have an extensive knowledge of and background in medicine, to the point where if I match to the right physician specialty I will make 1-2 million by 32-35. Additionally education will be 100% paid for. Want to hear from the professionals, does anything in finance beat that earning potential risk-adjusted? My advantages in pursuing medicine far exceed any leg up I would have for a financial career (barring my college), passion need not apply. Earnings would probably cap at 2.5 by 40, possibly lower depending on job structure. Take the givens at face value.
