Maybe they’ve all discovered that software engineers (majority are self-taught and have no CS or science related degree) are accepting $300K pay packages working from home, equity in their companies, with full benefits? Or perhaps they’ve taken a quick peek in their local hospitals and discovered that nurse practitioners or more of “physicians” than podiatrists will ever be? A lot of Podiatrists @ VA Medical Centers tend to make LESS than the CRNA covering their surgeries. This is AFTER the pay equity “increase“. Well I guess that’s better than making less than a PA as a private practice Pod Associate (the very job that MOST Podiatrists accept after SEVEN (7) years of post-college/graduate school training and $300K debt)
Edit:
But as the person mentioned above not to worry I’m sure it’s alllll “gossip”. I mean seriously, who wouldn’t want to spend SEVEN (7) years of their often times youthful Earthly existence willingly taking on greater than a QUARTER-MILLION DOLLARS worth of debt while making ZERO income… AFTER 4 or more years of college pursuing the absolute GLORY of mostly geriatric FEET?? I mean, I love it all: the yellow green white and brown PUS, the rotten flesh, the gas and the bone infections of feet, the full-thickness down to the bone oozing bleeding odorous foot ulcers, the THICKENED, elongated yellow, dystrophic TOENAILS (I hope you dont have carpel tunnel), oh and I love when the orthos ALLOW us to do the cool traumas that the majority of us don’t do...All for $90k and NO benefits (for the MAJORITY of ”residency“ grads)…Come one! Come all! Welcome 😃
