     Doctors are a joke. A TI-83 could read labs.

     The doctor crisis is already here. In 20 years ot will be a full blown shortage. Current doctors with 10 or less years in are just glorified drug pushers. Very few have mental diagnostic abilities and rely heavily on labs. Medical school is plagued by political correctness, I knew a guy out of the Army who was a rad tech that damn near aced the MCAT. He got denied alot, and for lesser candidates. He's a doctor now, but he was a pissed mother fucker in 2008.

     @Evil_Bender @silas makes sense

     Medical school, hell college in general, has gotten too expensive. The onerous cost of compliance when Obamacare further compounds that.

     We'll have a doctor crisis in the US within 10-20 years. I think it's already started.

     My dad was a doctor so I saw a lot of young starting out guys in residency, and still talk to a few. Most are apartment folk until their 40's. They go where the opportunity is in specialized fields.

     He'll make more until his 50's where the doctor will have an income explosion. Once that $200k in student loans is paid off that $175k+ income is pretty tits.

     @FortyTwo also I guess the problem also is. Here we talked about what... I dont know the English term. But like what class of wage you are in. Because the union has these wage classes negotiated. Which does have wiggleroom. You will get extra percentages each year on your own. But finding out you are for example in class 5 when others are in 7 would be shitty.

     @silas a plumber can make more than a doctor here in the US

     Just depends on where you live and how much you're willing to work

     @FortyTwo yeah well. I guess that is what you have to put up with in a country with people who have only 2 braincells. Lol. At least for most it seems this is the case.
     What if instead of asking my coworker what they make, I say "do you think X Dollars an hour for me starting out is a fair wage?"
     Asking the same thing but from the opposite. Chances are I get more than they do or did in the beginning and take out their gun anyways.. But maybe that way is better.

     @FortyTwo well lol I just don't think it is. It's not like you get an allowance from your wife and I'mnasking about that. It's Literally a professional topic. Because the company gives you money for a job.

     And maybe that's a German thing. No one is gonna get mad at you or judge you for making more or less. At the company they will if it is reasonable to do so. Lol.

     @silas it's rude

     In polite company, you're not supposed to talk about:

     * Politics
     * Money
     * Religion
     * Sex

     It's not as strict as it once was, but it's still considered rude.

     @FortyTwo I can see those other points like politics and sex be rude to ask someone about. But we also talked about politics before. We are Germans though. We actually respect pretty much everyone's political opinion usually and then life continues. It's a common topic at things like Christmas family events and similar things too.

     Those are personal things though. So I get why thst could be considered rude. But your salary is not a personal topic.

     @silas my last job paid every two weeks, but weekly is the norm.

     Most bills are monthly

     Is math so hard that you can't figure out how much you're getting paid hourly?

     @FortyTwo no I just don't think people would put that much thought into how much they get paid and if it is fair. Especially if in American culture talking about how much you earn is a taboo for some reason. Why is that btw?

     @FortyTwo also getting paid weekly is just a measure to hide how little they pay you in reality. Unless the world is drastically different over there, most recurring stuff you pay for on a monthly basis.
     Or do Americans pay netflix and their gas bill every week. I don't know thst actually.

     @silas if you are an hourly employee you know how much you'll get paid based on how many hours you work

     First 40 are for straight time, after that you get overtime pay

     It's simple math, you're German, won't be hard to figure that out

     If you don't work, you don't get paid. It's a simple system.

     @FortyTwo hey what. In the days of people spending sometimes half or even more of their wage on rent, not knowing how much money you will get next time is pretty shitty. I would say at least.

     @FortyTwo well yea I get the same money each month too. Excluding like inflation or Christmas bonuses and stuff like that. But obviously the time gets tracked and added up for you to leave early another day or take more full days off. Or you can request it to be paid out in cash. But almost no one does it. Because why pay taxes if you can get like 10 extra days off or whatever it ends up being.

     @FortyTwo I would actually find it really shitty if the money transferred to me varied based on how much I worked that month. Planning around that seems stupid. Especially because/when it is outside of your control how many hours you work.

     @silas no, but I don't know many people who actually work a 9-5 hourly job

     Most people with an office 9-5 are salary, and they'll make you work over whenever they feel like it. You're already getting paid.

     @FortyTwo yea. That's why I posted a thing couple days ago. Saying I don't even think I would ever get a job at an American company. Lol. Because I would just tell whoever was doing the interview with me to go fuck yourself. If there's less than 25.. Preferably 30 days off. And if there was more than a 40 hour work week.
     I would just actually not take that at all.

     It's not a complicated job at the general physician's level. You better hope your surgeon was top of his class though. When I entertained the idea of following after dad I had made it into Paramedic Specialist school. And then I realized one day I genuinely hate most people and consider them to be subhuman in intellect and presence. My dad knew I didn't have any bed side manner but he just wanted me to take the practice over. So I became an engine doctor instead.
