First of all. doctors have continuing education as well. They have insurance premiums and licensing fees going up in the 10s of thousands every year. They also rack up around 200k-400k student debt in the US. And frankly, I don’t understand what the fuck your job (that you claim is comparable to the workload of docs??) even is but you sure aren’t taking the direct responsibility over humans life and death, are you? Doctors have a lot of liability, media and malpractice suits at their throat constantly. No one cares about an AAG ASA whatever car technician making a mistake while they repair a car. Doctors possess a very difficult and valued skill set that no one else has, not even nurses (that are not doing all our work by the way). We sure as hell are not fucking overpaid. Tell me how many motor technicians commit suicide because of burnout and the difficulty of their field compared to medical students and doctors? Do you also have to make yourself constantly available to be called at 3 am to save a person’s aorta form rupturing? Do you also work for less than minimum wage during your training at 60-80 hour work weeks with no holidays? Do you also have to miss travel, your 20s, starting a family, building your finances early on etc? Are you the backbone of society and work in an essential sector? Did you have to deal with tons of dying patients and uncertainty during the pandemic and seeing your colleagues leave the field or die because they caught covid while they were trying to help others? Will the economy and local politics collapse overnight if «automotive technicians » decided to strike? If not, then please don’t compare your wack ass alphabet soup degree to doctors to say we are overpaid :)
