as far as depreciation the loser is the plasma buyer.
I think neither is a waste. everything in life is based on relativity. Those surgeons are on a different playing feild as far as money goes. their purchasing power goes well beyond most of ours. we look at 50K or 100K and go DAMN they look at that as we would 500 or a 1000 dollars. Its all perspective

1. Neither is more wasteful, they are equally wasteful, but it's their earned money so they can do what they want with it.
2. Everyone knows Anesthesiology is where it's at.

ckit, raj's just joking around.
my first post was to bring some perspective. a $50K TV is shockingly expensive but when considering a Porsche or better yet, a Ferrari, it's actually less expensive when considering maintenance, insurance, depreciation, etc of the car.
this is more than just a car forum. since it's a bunch of guys, electronics rank pretty high too so it's a fair comparison.

Bah, CKit deleted his post? That's not allowed. Cranky or otherwise, I have a RIGHT to know 
My friend is a vagina physician and she makes pretty damn good money. I'm glad I don't have one of those, they seem expensive and tiresome to maintain.
