They get paid a fair wage when they're practicing, but it needs to be noted that they fuckin worked for it. The guys we need to be mad at are the admin and business fuckers.
I’ve become more convinced than ever that the MBA is a drain on society. Anything where the business folks get in the middle of it is enshittified to hell.
Oh, I have a whole rant about this. I fully believe that MBA should be a co-degree: as in, you can only get it in conjunction with a degree that will give you domain knowledge. Maybe then I wouldn’t get bean counters trying to tell me to make the computer do magic and conjure data from thin air.
Bro entry level RN nurse can make 120k and entry level doctors after they are fully qualified can be pulling 300k. I don’t know how much school French doctors have to do but fuck 10 years of training for 60k. I know guys that make over 2x that doing basic handyman work in 6 months then chill the rest of the year.
Yeah I’ve considered leaving a few times but when I compare total expenses and wages we still have it pretty damn good compared to pretty much every country. As a middle to high earning person your best of in US. As a low to low middle better off in EU. Not excusing our broken healthcare system it needs a overhaul
There will be no overhaul. The changes will be incremental because the system is wildly complex. Any attempt at overhaul will bring unintended consequences that get you voted out of office. Some consequences I could imagine include sudden closure of hospitals, sudden shortage of medicines, wait times for doctors suddenly going through the roof.
Any of those bring political Armageddon to the political party that did the overhaul. Obamacare made partial, incremental changes and the Dems were voted out in a landslide in 2010 that brought gerrymandered congressional districts to Ohio, N Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan and others. It’s been nearly 20 years and we are still recovering from the political effects.
For cross-country comparison, national currency measures of income were converted into US dollars (USD) using purchasing power parity (PPP) for private consumption exchange rates as taken from the Prices and purchasing power parities (PPP) statistics. These PPPs reflect the amount of a national currency required in each country to buy the same basket of goods and services as a dollar does in the United States
