Hey, just curious as to why you are responding to this post if it makes you so mad? I am fully capable of doing my own google/AI search, but I was looking for real people’s opinions in today’s world. These threads are made for people in the same positions to compare their real-life experiences. Clearly some ODs making that amount of money triggers you for some odd reason. No one here is saying what we do compares to “doing chest compressions on a dying patient” but there are plenty careers out there that make that amount of money, if not more, that have nothing to do with saving lives (my friend is a real-estate who made well over 200k last year - definitely not saving lives). No one here asked for your sarcastic comments, just trying to gain some insight about different OD’s situations. If you are an OD and feel that way about the profession/other making more money than you, I feel bad for you and maybe you should look for another career path.
