I hear that software engineering pays more than doctors. So I'm curious how much do doctors actually make?
Depends on speciality. Family practice docs make far less than plastic surgeons, orthos, or other specialists
Came to say this
Location matters too. Nice hospital in a good metro pays less than a shot hole.
Highly dependent on: * Specialty * Country they're employed in * Whether they run a biz or are an employee Thus the range is quite large.
There were like 30-40 md professors at md Anderson with salaries dangling 900k- $1 mill. I was curious, and looked at the public salary info to see how much my pa friend who’s in surgical makes ($95k) with 5 yoe
Not a great question. Doctor’s salaries fall in all of those ranges.
As much as I'd love to be a Dr. this is why I would rather do SWE, because it's like the money is more easily obtainable by SWEs and you don't have to do more school. But, as a Dr, once you make that salary, it's much more stable. People usually burn out with SWE. Drs are usually Drs until they retire. Edit: I'm still going to end up doing something in the healing profession though. Being an SWE is just a stepping stone to get the money to pay for med school.
But who is better to have during an apocalypse?
What's your transition into medicine going to look like? I got a 3.0 in undergrad and don't even have med prereqs. I figure I'd have to do some sort of post bacc to get both grades and classes?
They make great. But they also save lives unlike swe
Yeah, we ruin lives with social media platforms that we build LMAO
Lol fb is a cancer to the world that someone needs to treat..
Are we talking cold cash or karma points? Cause they’d beat you to death on the latter 😜
Depends on the specialty and if they have several contracts.
Depends on the title. Top line Surgeons can make easily a couple million a year. Doctors are also not limited by their companies to side incomes ( like many swes). They can make a lot of extra money doing research/teaching etc.
Pharma sponsorship to recommend meds. $$$$$.
Kickbacks are now illegal
