>>60588147Yes, the dollar is being devalued, but the solution is to just make more money and invest it.
Especially medicine in the US is underappreciated for what it actually provides. Good doctors make 600k-1m/year+, either in competitive specialties or doing locums. Excellent doctors easily make over 1m/year in their peak earning years, matching coveted FAANG titles.
And they do that helping people and working in a team, which provides a lot of satisfaction. Plus, if you want to work with cool (health/bio)technology, there's nothing stopping you for doing consulting for pharma/healthtech, or research at an academic center if you want a cushier job.
>inb4 many doctors only make 200k and work shit hoursThese are the equivalent of average-performing codemonkeys, not the cream of the crop. Like in computer science, many of these doctors are now Indian.
>inb4 blood sucks, working with people sucks, stressIt's not for pussies, get a grip.
Idk man, I like my job, especially the research part, it feels like I'm contributing something. But I've spent so much time here that I've started to care about the approval of anons like this
