Since you did mention financials though, I'll bite. People choose those routes because the reward to them is not the money (although it does factor in), but how they can help. It also seems like a lot of your posts are financially motivated, but you're forgetting the other aspect of the job. That kind of a post is the typical mentality of an undergrad who doesn't know any better. ![]() There are other things you can do besides apply to med school. That's quite a simplified and cynical post of the value of a science degree. Why do you think any decent woman with some comon sense will find a successful businessman to be much more sexy than a doc/lawyer? It's because she wants her kids to reap some of the rewards of the daddy! But, you can definitely pass on your business empire to your kids. You can't pass on your job/position/title to, say, your kids, if you are the competitive type. independent people (business owner), there is a huge disadvantage. By successful business people, I'm talking about ordinary people like these: Bought a gas station cheap in a run-down place, and turned it around to a $1M annual business, goes on to invest $3M to open restaurants after a few years, takes $10M of spare change to expand further business after a few more years.Īlso, when you compare competitive people (employees/docs/lawyers) vs. Poor business models always lead to failure. By unsuccessful business people, I mean people who like to start businesses, such as painting companies, etc. I'm not referring to Bill Gates and the likes. ![]() If you are only going to argue against the medical profession from a financial point of view then I'm done, as it proves you are shallow and really need to start viewing life in a new way. When you look at those publications under hospitals, how many of them are actually doctors? I see a lot of scientists, vice presidents and directors. Salary disclosure of people making over 100,000 working for the government (including docs at hospitals):ītw, there's no such thing as millionaire docs (well, there are, but those are either very rare, or very old.)įor every Bill Gates or Buffet or Ted Rogers, there are many other businesspeople who were unsuccessful and had to change professions. 70k is like butt scratch to a successful businessman.Ĭheck them out for yourself. Haha, I'm talking about as if they make 70k after taxes and overhead. They would be suppourtive of whatever I wish to become. And next you are probably going to say that my parents only want me to become doctors because they are, no that has nothing to do with it. I can tell you right now my parents don't envy no plumbers. Don't tell me they are expensive because again, the arguement is that medicine ISN'T meant to graduate people whose number one goal is money.Īnd if you want to see millionaire doctors, come to my house. If someone can't get into a Canadian school, there are so many options available to them, including the US, doing a Masters or going to the Caribbean. ![]() Yes, those are two of the things that you can do if you don't get into medical school, but anyone can get into medical school if they really want to. That's your problem, and frankly, most people are probably happy you are in this situation because you took the spot of someone who actually would have enjoyed doing it.Īre you aware the odds of becoming a successful businessman in comparison to becoming a lawyer or doctor? You might as well say, become a NBA player, but if not at least you can become an actor because they earn a lot more than doctors. All your arguements are financial based, which clearly shows that you are in medicine for the money only but found out that it really doesn't pay that well. You are talking about doctors and lawyers as if they make 70 k a year and barely make do and that everyone at business school is going to come out and be rich.
