The only other career I am interested in is Aerospace Engineering, maybe in the R&D or Aerodynamics...
English class is not a big part of that career, right? More like Physics & Math?

I think doctors do not have a life...they have money, cars, house, hot wife but they do not have time to enjoy any of those...just from what I have seen...plus by the time you become a doctor to make some good money, you are past the age where you should have enjoyed your life the most?
They'll also probably retire a lot sooner (or go to specialty work on a part time basis) than most of us.
It's the up-front work that's brutal, I think. Once it's done, you can probably expect fairly smooth sailing.

I know a couple of doctors and while I didn't necessarily know them when they were setting up their practice, now that they've established their practice they seem to find plenty of time to play.

Like patients of walmart, when they claim, it goes to a doc for review first and then they actually go to a doctor. So the doctors who were just sitting at home reviewing applications (which were reviewed by nurses first and sorted out and fixed in every single way) so just to review those applications and suggest what they should do, they were getting paid from $70 to $200 per application depending upon their specialty! That is crazy, we saw those doctors reviewing those applications, it took them 5 minutes for some of them....that I thought was just crazy and easy money, but all those docs were over 50

I'm a lowly FP doc and probably don't make anywhere near as much as some of my counterparts here.

Oh yeah, not to mention I worked for a company where they dealt with workers comp and it was an online system, all those physicians had to do was review the patient history and suggest therapy or meds online.

Oh, she's also the bitchiest and greediest of any human being.
