If you make 1/3 what anesthieslolo whatever, congrats. That's good money

TNT thinks $6/hr is "good money".

SandYFan

Ha! No. $10/hr is good money

Not sure whether to take this post seriously or not...

Seriously. Is this some kind of reverse or something?

It’s making fun of teachers.

I thought it was mocking doctors

You should have gotten into a gov subsidized field

So you're an anesthesiologist? Nice humble brag.

I don’t know why we begrudge people for asking

I used to think doctors were over paid. Then I got into medical school, I am

Doctors are definitely not overpaid imo. Deserve every penny.

It's almost like supply and demand dictate wages.

at least you qualify for the QBI deduction... anesthesiologist won't

I agree that engineers are undervalued and underpaid in our society.

4/26/18 10:43am

You get paid what the market determines you are worth

Kerbouchard

4/26/18 10:51am

Kind of. Unless the laws interfere with the free market.

sanitarium

4/26/18 10:54am

Of course there are exceptions

Ha! I stand corrected. In my defense, I have attempted to block those days out

Only reason I remember it is because I used to work for CAEDM

You should have gone into elementary education instead.

If being an anesthesiologist isn’t so hard then why didn’t you do that so you

Actually, that’s exactly my point.

Ahhh...I get it.

Don’t know what state you are in, but just as a point of information in Utah

Capricious Cougar

4/26/18 12:27pm

A masters is two years and medical school and residency is usually 7-8. So, not

If engineers start making about 30K a year you may have an argument.

Nagurski

4/26/18 12:52pm

So teachers can only compare themselves to professions starting at 30k. Gotcha

silk

4/26/18 1:37pm

Since that is where they start, yes.

Nagurski

4/27/18 9:16am

The specific dollar amounts involved are wholly beside the point.

Gil Buckman

4/26/18 1:52pm

The issue I have with your's and Silk's arguement is that you think the answer

Nagurski

The ones who should feel bad are the nurse anesthetists. They do the same thing

Not really. I'm a nurse that got my BSN and debated what to do for grad school,

So what is the difference in function? If I'm running a hospital, why prefer one

TailgateU

4/26/18 4:31pm

Yes, one does significantly more than the other.

IGlowInTheDark

4/26/18 4:38pm

What procedure can an anesthesiologist perform that a CRNA cannot?

TailgateU

4/26/18 4:43pm

We talking legally, skillfully, or safely?

I'm not a hospital administrator, and am genuinely curious. Are you in the

Thank you. I appreciate the explanation. I wish we could see more PAs and NPs in

It’s true. But you are also not educated to know when what they’re doing isn’t

IGlowInTheDark

Actually, I do know the difference between a virus and bacteria, and the harm

TailgateU

Huh? No. That has nothing to do with it.

IGlowInTheDark

From everything you READ they can do the same thing...

I disagree with you, I think that everyone can make mistakes.

Not exactly. Plus, they also go to half of the schooling.

I actually got a degree in Engineering, then a Master's, and now Medical School.

Like anyone could even know that.

Plato

4/26/18 8:16pm

Which part?

Blue2thebone

4/26/18 11:55pm

Do you ever find yourself in a group setting where everyone else is laughing?

silk

Wow right to the personal attack.

I would argue being good at teaching is is very important.
