So a doctor has to live like a grad student and put half their salary in to their debt repayments for five tears before it’s payed off and they can live like a king, so what?

Doctors have money problems because they start spending like a staff right out of med school. The vast majority don’t have debt problems because they aren’t financially retarded.

At that point, for certain specialties, it's a better financial decision to be a nurse, PA, or NP. A Pediatrician Infectious Disease or Endocrine doc in NYC gets paid like $130-150k starting. That's at age 31 or 32 if they go straight through medical school. If they have $500,000 in debt, they wont finish paying off that debt until 40 or 45.

the us government got UBS's nuts in a vise and started spinning a few years ago and basically all of the swiss banks then suddenly decided they didn't want any more american customers (for any of their secret stuff). the US controls too much vital parts of the global banking network to risk pissing off the DOJ so once the DOJ got pissed off, they got out of that business

Honestly, that would probably hurt him more than any indictment. He can lawyer up and outlast most anything and his supporters don't care. But if they found out he had significantly less money than he claimed, suddenly he's not this great businessman.

It's highly unlikely to be true, but the low end estimates of Trump's net worth after liabilities were 300 million dollars.

No, dumbass, its because we're already having trouble finding GPs because nobody in med school wants to do it or thinks its financially viable. Removing one of the things that might help people go into those specialties is a bad thing. So is restricting access to med school to already-wealthy people, for what should be obvious reasons. Yes, eventually they do end up well-off, but I'd rather have actual loving doctors around to work in actual loving hospitals instead of having everyone pour into fancy clinics for rich white people, and I'd rather not push the best and brightest of the field that direction either.

And given a) how hard pediatrics is and b) how important they are towards overall health, I'd rather have a system where people don't avoid general pediatrics like the plague because there is so much less money in it.

And remember, I only focused on doctors because they're the ones the GOP might actually be interested in working with. Social workers, therapists, and nurses are already scum in their eyes.

also i really don't have a problem with doctors being paid well. doctor training is no loving joke, and it's something that is unambiguously good for society.

you want to get mad at people who get paid well for doing nothing useful for society, wall street is right there

nobody has ever said "you know what we need less of? doctors" but we could use about 50-80% less well-educated intelligent people getting diverted to gambling on wall street

That's astounding. You can get $150k in NYC for normal-rear end jobs.

The young doctorin I've heard about is more like "$300k in debt, $350k first year after residency or fellowship" which seems like a much saner number. I guess you just need to go into money specialities.

The problem is people need those less well paying specialties regardless of what is lucrative. Demand doesn't just drop for those types of doctors, and there is already a shortage.

Didn't he claim that his net worth is something like 4 billion but recently it was shown that said sum was flagrantly untrue and it's something like a tenth of that (which would be in the neighborhood of what you're writing here)? I also vaguely recall goons itt telling me that honest-to-goodness said that his net worth "varies depending on how he's feeling at the time", which I thought was the most pants-on-head-retarded thing I've ever read.

medicine is very odd in that the pay scales negatively to cost of living: the shittier the area and the lower the cost of living, the higher the pay. nyc doctors are probably the lowest paid doctors in the country.

that's in contrast to almost every other sort of job where the higher the cost of living, the higher the pay. the reason is that doctors have to be spread out over the entire country, you can't have all the doctors in new york like you can with all the corporate lawyers and wall street people

Right, exactly, which is what PSLF was partially supposed to offset. PSLF isn't as common in those "money" specialties, and those money specialties tend not to be as broadly useful to society.

Depends on where you want to live. California and NYC are very in demand places. Doctors there make much less or need to commute to the suburbs. Very few medicine, family practice doctors or pediatricians are making $350k out of residency, and if they do, it's in a very rural area. Only in the very competitive sub-specialties like Surgery, Cardiology, or Dermatology do you see $350k starting in a major city.

It also depends on which medical school you go to. The most expensive one is Georgetown or George Washington in DC. Tuition alone is $60,000 per year.

Deutsche was fined at the beginning of the year for turning a blind eye on suspicious transfers of money out of Russia (to the tune of billions of dollars).

I don't remember exactly what it was, but I only read about it a few months ago because of some (probably tenuous) connection to Trump.

It's really one of the few well-paying professions that is based off of strict supply/demand

- absolutely necessary to have
- must be local, cannot be outsourced
- huge barriers to entry
- used by everyone

Entirely possible that you can end up as the only -ologist in a 100 mile radius in places.

It's less of a case of money and more that someone who went through med school doesn't want to spend the rest of their lives in Bumfuck, IL, population 150.
