Congratulations. Now you just have to pay the local municipality protection money for the rest of your life so they don’t take it from you.

Haha, true. Thankfully, appraisal values for property tax purposes haven't increased as much as actual selling prices.

It could yes and I am for removing regulations etc...as far as healthcare degree 30% of those degrees don't get used in the healthcare field..and healthcare degree only make up 15% of total degrees earned..so you can blame the job market but college is a trillion dollar industry that doesn't justify the cost of a degree...again experience of 1 year is worth a 3 year degree..

That last statement is subjective, but I won’t disagree, except that there are barriers-to-entry in nearly every field that all require education/certificates/degrees/licensing/etc.

That's last statement was a quote from the articles I was pulling stats from. Employers are looking for experience and are more willing to start with a clean HS grad then a 4 year college grad with a worthless degree...its the same principle being expressed by employers who won't higher BLM, or lgtbq, etc.

With the skyrocketing costs of college and grad schools, along with the overall decline in the quality of med school applicants, I think it is worth reconsidering the education path.

It would be VERY feasible and not detract at all from the readiness of medical graduates to combine the 4 year college + 4 year med school degree into something like a 6 year curriculum. There is a good deal of redundancy in classes (biochemistry, anatomy, immunology, histo/path, etc) and quite a bit of unnecessary electives in the current system. So, 4 years total of classroom work, keep the 2 years of rotations, then on to internship/residency. That would reduce student loan debt by $50-200k and also put doctors to work 2 years earlier, allowing more earning potential to afford home purchase, kids, etc, as well as being able to retire at a more desirable age.

Also it my understanding that the medical classes are not keeping up with advances to most technology and advancements of today and are still using old text and procedures..have you heard anything like that?

I have not. The residents I have interacted with seem well-prepared. Obviously, I do not practice in a tech-heavy field, but I certainly don't mind asking around to my surgical sub- specialty friends.

First response (highly-acclaimed robotic and bariatric surgeon):

No. If anything, they are light years ahead of where we were.

Ok, but you know what barrier-to-entry is in terms of job requirements though, right?

The ACA’s purpose was to be a bridge from a multi-payor system to a single-payor system. Again, fought, neutered, and rendered impotent by Republicans at every turn without any alternatives. We all know why, some just don’t want to admit it.

it was a secret bill that no one was allowed to read before it was voted on? it is the most blatant example we have of extreme partisanship and refusal to work with the other side, when you won't even let them know what's in it.

that alone should have killed ACA completely from the start.

Besides the need to elaborate on what “those degrees” point to specifically, because I’m pretty sure that doesn’t apply to healthcare degrees…besides that, all those fun numbers you quoted, doesn’t that point to the job market (or lack thereof), lack of evolution in our society overall, and a regression in innovation?

Lmfao regression in innovation? What alternate reality do you live in

You’re clearly angry about the ACA. Could it be because of the mandates on employers?

Is there any idea you agree with? How about wellness incentives, or positive impacts on small businesses that aren’t subject to the mandates?
Click to expand...

You continue championing “wellness incentives” and “preventive care”, reality is this has not improved cost the way it was claimed that it would

You do realize with her having a masters and doctorate and 25 years of service so far is why she makes what she makes. She was a principal for a while and didn’t even get a raise. She just laughed at you because you have no clue.

Not at all what your original post was or what you inferred.

The Army can train an 18D (SF Medic) in about 2 years and those guys IMO are almost equivalent to a PA.

She hasn’t been at the central office long. What you don’t understand is because of how long she has been a teacher and with her masters and doctorate is why she makes good money. If she can do it other teachers also can. It takes teaching for awhile and you can make good money. You are the one who said it BS that you can make almost $90,000
