“Mo money mo problems” only exists for people like Scottie pippen who blew all is earnings I think on stupid things like planes.
The reality is mo money is never really a bad thing if you know what to do with it because no one can predict what their individual life or family needs are gonna be, and no one can predict when you are going to need safety. How much safety is highly variable.
I would love to learn from the ballers. They may be completely unethical but at least I can potentially learn from their work ethic or ways in which I can be more efficient.
Right now, my job in a group ortho private practice is pretty cush, but my salary is reflective of that. I would honestly love to work more hours, but we currently don’t have the infrastructure to offer that. I’m sure the ballers have somehow maximized productivity while containing overhead all the while having successfully negotiated very good insurance rates. All these things would be great to learn..
