Why look so confused, Puhonix? You mean you've never heard about the All America career Jeffrey Dahmer had as a basketball player @ Duke? What about former Illini small forward and Minneapolis Laker Ed Gein? I won't even go on about the phenomenal hoops career of John Wayne Gacy.

*sigh*....another example of life's unfairness.....doctor's who save lives make 80-100k per year....a teacher who teaches your kids-20-30k per year.....a police officer protecting your streets- 30-50k per year

 

a BASKETBALL PLAYER PLAYING A GAME THAT MEANS NOTHING IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS.......100 million :D

Where do you live that doctors are only making 80-100k?!?! :D:D

 

Granted they're not making $20 million, but still...

I worked in the hospital industry for 7+ years....depends on your specialty I guess....it can go higher than that....but not much over the top

One of my coworkers was finishing her residency, and he said as a general practicioner, she'd be making around $150,000 - $200,000/year.

 

Just did a quick Monster.com search and that sounds reasonable:

These were two of the first ones I found (most don't have salary listed), and these aren't really specialists either...

Shaq's new deal

 

He was slated to make $30 million this year. Woa. Well, at least this keeps him in a Heat uniform through the end of his career. I'm happy!  :D  :D

You may not be so happy in a couple of years....maybe even this year.....

 

Shaq has a really really bad habit of coming in out of shape when he has nothing to play for.....and while he was the most dominant center in the league last year his production still dropped off dramatically.....

It's called 'barrier to entry'. This is our system. It's the worst system there is.*

 

* Except for all the rest.

 

 

Check out this. Harazous duty pay for our enlisted soldiers below the rank of sergeant is $150/month. Any extra buck and a half to get shot at? ROTC contracted students get a $200 stipend. Now let's talk about inequities.

 

OTOH, I'm glad Shaq is staying South Florida. He's a funny guy. :D

Depends on your specialty, what kind of practice, and which area of the country.

 

Where I'm at he's pretty much spot on for a sizable proportion of practitioners.

As Ambrose Bierce said in his "Devil's Lexicon",

 

"Physician. n. A fellow whom we set our hopes upon when illl, and set our dogs upon when well.".
