/biz/ - Business & Finance

It's 8 years of school and 3-7 more years of working like a dog for average income. It's also incredibly difficult and has a very high attrition rate. My wife is a doctor. I'd say it's worth it only if you have a passion for medicine

Either that or a good ticket to drinking yourself to death

Guaranteed?

As in if you make the selection cutoff you are set to make big money. No layoffs or constant grind of finance or computer science. You make it through your fellowship and it’s 20 years of 45 to 50 hour work week monday through Friday

>>53483918
no. it's the most wagecucked profession in the world. you will have literally no life from age 18 to 33-35. and the prize at the end of the tunnel is a measly $200-500k/year, probably much closer to $200k/year unless you're smart and lucky enough to match into the competitive, high paying specialties. this sounds like a lot of money only if you're poor. in reality you're just a high paid wagie.

>As in if you make the selection cutoff you are set to make big money.
your salary is literally controlled by CMS (centers for medicare and medicaid) reimbursement schedules. pathology, for example, has been destroyed as a specialty.
>No layoffs or constant grind of finance or computer science.
continuing professional education requirements say otherwise.

also it's extremely stressful even if you're smart. one of my classmates committed suicide.

kek you should see the curriculum now, they have to take DEI classes too in addition to everything else.

>>53484301
that was a thing when i attended, not memeing you. we had to learn about "microaggressions" and other nonsense.

>>53484315
they have to use correct pronouns and volunteer at prisons now kek. Glad I switched hahah

>>53484326
Prisoners aren’t bad, my first boss was a felon who did time for beating a man to death. The skills he learned managing prison gangs of dysfunctional low iq fuck ups and passed on to me have made me the manager I am. I always kek when my work culture is compared to a prison.

>>53484717
Pretty much you can be as much of a hard ass and have high expectations as long as you are a fair across the board and swiftly punish the fuck ups. People will tolerate a lot and be happy if the lazy retard at work is ridden like bitch.

dont we all need doctors though

if the profession is shit and unrewarding that's a grim look for the future

>>53484864
Not really DESU doctors just use google now and gatekeeping medication is all they are for. When AutoDocs are released its over for doctors

>>53484315
Microaggression is a term used for commonplace daily verbal, behavioral or environmental slights, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative attitudes toward stigmatized or culturally marginalized groups

>>53484936
Nah I think it will be over for the drs that can’t code or do business

It’s going to be like the Np situation. You are going to have a dr to stamp the output of the AI as a check, much like an engineer stamp

>build generational wealth
>wife and kids are cold and distant since you're never around, and they blow all your vast wealth before you're even dead

not really unless you become a heart surgeon or some such

>>53484281
Soon to graduate doctor (also euro) here, in my opinion it's like one of the not boring careers. You have to be with very brutal or otherwise special lives all the time and see all kinds of shit you would otherwise only read about. You also get to affect other peoples lives bigly, sometimes changing them forever. A genuine thank you that a patient gives from the bottom of the heart makes life feel like it "matters". Being some kind of engineer just doing code or whatever sounds incredibly boring to me. But i agree that you need a passion for helping people because there is so much to study and so many people to help. That said, stable income is the cornerstone of making it big with investing and there is no stabler or bigger income than doctors have. Otherwise you have to resort to get rich quick schemes.

What about a cmo if you don’t match into a fellowship

>I want to study psichiatry
That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard
