Ernie ... your comment about the doctors having to buy a mere ZO6 instead of a Ferrari is in my opinion , a common misconception about doctors ..... and I`m sure there a a bunch out there who do extremely well . But , there are just a many who make in the $60,000 to $100,000 range , and yes , I know this for a fact . It all depends on their specialty and how hard they are willing to work . I know one personally who makes $300k +/yr , but here`s the kicker . He is at the hospital at 5:30am , 6 days a week for rounds , goes to his office and sees 15+ patients with really nasty stuff ( full blown HIV , Hep. B , C etc and raging staph infections ) ... then goes home , eats supper and is in bed by 8:30 . This doesn`t count his time in med school and the debt he had when he got out . Are you saying he doesn`t deserve what he makes ?
BTW , he also is a volunteer pilot for Angel flights in his "spare time " on his own dime .
As I said , some do very well , but if a person is willing to work , have a specialty and know what you are doing , you will do well ... as you will in any other profession , but I`ve found a lot of people are more willing to complain than work . There is an old saying , the harder I work , the luckier I get !
No , I`m not in the health care field ( 2 daughters are ) ... and I didn`t stay at a Holiday Inn at all this year !
