Yeah, and someone with a BS in engineering or name your profession still makes a hell of a lot more than me.
Tell you what, next time we have a take a dickhead to wok day, you can come along, help me wipe someone's ass one minute, hang/titrate a vasoactive drug, manage an airway of a fresh post op patient with obstructive sleep apnea, or code someone the next minute.
Also ask any professional you know, when they have a slow day at work, do they get sent home with no pay? Do their employers bring entire planeloads of scabs from overseas to work for less $ artificially reducing the supply demand curve? Does gasoline cost less for me or do I get special rates to heat & cool my home or reduced auto insurance? Do they have to work all day with no freaking break or lunch, feeling guilty to leave their patient's bedside because there isn't enough staff & have to figure out how to get the bathroom so they don't crap themselves and their patient doesn't freaking die while you're on the toilet? Do they get calls at 1am, have to show up at work within 1/2 hour or lose their job, turn around and show up at work at 7am and not screw up because you had 3 hours of sleep, and you hope to hell you can function & not kill someone accidentally, and then get told to wash your hands 500 times a day?
Bite me and I hope to hell you get taken care of by an underpaid sleep deprived nurse next time you're in the ER after a car wreck, heart attack, or alcohol poisoning and expect them to save your sorry ass.
Somebody's button got pushed!
