    No problem! I grew up in a household where talking about money and finances was not considered taboo. This is only one source of income that I have and says nothing about my net worth nor side hustles. Some people want privacy, which I understand. Others still tie their income to their worth as a human being. Personally, I'm not bothered by sharing how much I make because it says nothing about me. I'm not embarrassed because Joe Schmo is making more money than me. So I'm glad this video helped and I will be happy to do updates when the time comes.

I've been on insulin since I was a child, so I definitely go to the office on a fairly regular basis.

    I agree wholeheartedly. I have been vocal online and supportive that medical residents should earn more than the $50-60,000/year they're getting for the enormous amount of time spent working. Not to mention that residents have twice the amount of grad school under their belt. The problem is a political one since Congress has their hands in the game with reimbursement. Another issue is that there is no professional organization designed around residents. It's a transitional period in the life of a physician. Residents need advocacy from physicians for higher pay and better working conditions but many physicians I speak to see the resident lifestyle as a "rite of passage." Those doctors brush off the matter and claim that residents today are "whining" since "it's so much better today" than in the past. If that's the mentality and attitude that doctors have about their own young then there is no hope for any reasonable change in the near future. Lastly, when you talk about increasing the pay for doctors to the public, people look at you funny. They wonder why one would complain about 60k/year when they're feeding a family of four on $35,000 per annum. And then they bring up that doctors make so much money when they finish residency so the whole discourse is D.O.A.

    @@clementinea7523 Idk about that. I don’t think anyone would agree that someone who studies for 11-15 years doesn’t deserve to be well compensated. Not including that the average medical school debt is at around 250-300k, more than some people’s home. You could make an argument that it could lower healthcare cost, but in reality an emergency medicine physician making 350k a year makes the hospital about 800k- 1m. Therefore, we can deduce that the major expense is not the physician, but the administrative charges.

    @@Dreamer-kd2jv I also think medical school should be free. It's ridiculous that people would have to go into massive amounts of debt to become a doctor. It contributes to the wealth gap of who can become a doctor. But doctors shouldn't make so much money, except for the fact that they have to pay back such massive debts. Don't get me wrong, I think they should make good money even if med school were free. But the money is too much, and too heavily skewed towards the end of their careers. They should be making much more much earlier on (while in residency), and less than current standards later in life. And no, it wouldn't lower healthcare costs. I'm talking redistribution of wealth. While we're on the topic, I also think CNAs should be making so much more than they do. And depending on the hospital, administrators make way too much.

    @@clementinea7523 CRNA’s are already making $140k. Almost as much as some pediatricians, who btw have five more years of education to make 30-60k more. I don’t agree with distribution of wealth. I come from a family of immigrants, and I had always lived below the poverty line. I joined the Army and went to Iraq and Afghanistan to pay for my education, then finished the rest with student loans. I did that all on my own with no help. So why should someone who made fewer sacrifices than me receive the same benefit? Why should I not make 350k a year when I literally risked my life to get to where I am now? I admit that life isn’t fair. A great number of my colleagues had their parents pay for their school, but that doesn’t change the fact that someone in their family had to make sacrifices and work hard in order to do that. I don’t understand why punishing people who do whatever it takes to succeed is ok in most people’s minds. Is it the envy? People who are so discontent with their lives, that they want to blame anybody but themselves for how they ended up? If you aren’t living the life you want in the United States of America, frankly it’s because you’re lazy. I literally had nothing, no help, and made it happen. Why can’t they do the same? Instead of complaining that we make too much money, how about they become physicians too? Ah, they aren’t willing to study 40-50 hours a week to get that 3.7GPA while working that part time job and living with 2 roommates. They aren’t willing to study for months to get that high MCAT score. They aren’t willing to give up 11-15 years of their life’s being a student. You see, it’s easy to say we make a lot when you haven’t walked a mile in our shoes. Could life be more fair and just? Absolutely! However, there will always be those who work harder than others, who are willing to go the extra mile. It’s just life. Not everybody wants to work hard, and that’s just the truth.

    I am 24 and just accepted a software engineer position in a mid Atlantic state for 77k per year. For the last 2 years I’ve been making 50k (no state taxes) but get paid biweekly so I’ve pretty much gotten the hang of the boring-party check concept.

I don’t care anymore about the toxic comments against PA’s in terms of money because that happens in all professions. After watching your video I’m more than convinced that this is the path for me.

It is good that you are paying attention to your money. In all fairness you should add your 403B match and any student loan forgiveness.

    I also wanted to say it would be wise to evaporate your student loans as soon as possible and 2-3 years is a good timeframe goal. Afterwards you can focus on generating wealth, buying a home, and living your life to the fullest without tens or hundreds of thousands in student loan debt looming over you.

    This is why you need to specialize from that degree (something professional- being a certified medical staff is like a trade). I graduated with a B.S. in Biology and now am working towards a Masters in Healthcare Administration. I have a job at a clinical lab and I make 1/4th of that. Let us see how this Masters will pan out for me. But I had learned that if one just sticks to Biology, it is more or less a transition major or degree (you are not going to make much with it).
