One foot in boiling water and one foot in icy water, on AVERAGE, you're comfortable.

Average blue collar worker makes $32,000. Probably has just under a 12 grade education and DOES NOT work a full 8 hour day.

AVERAGE Doctor has a very expensive education of college, med school and residency, putting him/her into their late 20's before they start to make money. Also they do work hard, probably too hard for our best benefit. Days start at 6AM and go till 5PM with a constant stream of patients all day. Plus they are employers of 2 to 10 people and they pay a massive premium for malpractice insurance alone. Don't know that I'd have any interest in living their lives.
