My friend who is a surgeon would work for free in the ER every other weekend to pay his insurance.....Too bad the politicians are all lawyers, they are the cause of all this stupidness. The society has been dumbed down in the last 25 years, Dems control the NEA, so it's no wonder. Character used to mean something, now the only thing it means is somebody in a film.......
Ok, here is something for compare. I am an electrical engineer, and one of the industry's magazine just released their annual salary survey for this year, and for the first time, the average EE makes over 6 figures a year. If doctors are really only making 100-175k year, minus huge student loans payments and malpractice insurance payments, maybe I did make the right choice in becoming an engineer. Most have the impression that you become a doctor or a lawyer to make the most money. I say become an engineer and not deal with the huge risk of getting sued. However, you do have to work 50-60 hours a week, but that does not seem any more than a doctor or lawyer would have to work.
The average U.S. engineer now makes $102,748 in salary and bonuses, marking the first time EEs have reached six figures in the four years that we've done our salary surveys. And there's more good news, as the engineering and tech services industry added 66,300 jobs last year, putting that number at an all-time high..
