Just something I've been pondering for a while.
Unlike probably all of you here, I am a) trans, and b) independently wealthy.
No, I did not inherit it. I worked for it. When I came out as trans, my parents freaked out, and stopped my degree funding. I eventually trained and found work as a paralegal, which paid enough to live on. I also had a part-time job as a high-end ($1000/hr+) escort. Unlike most of the tgirls who escort, who spend their money as fast as they make it, I invested the majority of mine. I did that for 10 years until I got burned out, and decided to pursue my calling.
So, I'm doing dentistry because I truly enjoy it. I don't need the money at all.
I have a net worth of $8.2M+, and I earn an 8.5% yield on my portfolio. I sell 0.5% every month for income. So I basically have $500,000/year for life.
Now, I could've easily done a medicine degree at Charles University First Faculty of Medicine, but I chose dentistry because I was more passionate about it.
So my question is this: if there was an IMG in my position, and they wanted to do a competitive residency like radiology, ophthalmology, urology, neurosurgery, etc., and they were effectively equivalent to an AMG, i.e. having high USMLEs, research, strong LORs from US rotations, etc., could they offer to pay the costs of the position themselves, and contribute to research funding, in exchange for a spot?
The IMG gets US training, and the program gets free labor and extra money for research and equipment. It's a win-win for everyone involved.
Thanks for your responses!
