I always hear this. So many expenses to be a doctor.
Guess what, 650k-150k = 500k.
So yeah, physician or doctor is a top notch job, extremely well paid.

This is totally bs. Physician salaries have been plummeting for the last 20-30 years as MBA / MHA / JD a$$hat healthcare administrators who do not add any value have siphoned off money. In many specialities, docs make more in Canada than they do in the US. Average physician salary in the us now is 125-180k, not bad but not rich by any measure. We need to get the Leeches who add no value out of medicine.
Check out medscape physician salaries. Dont think there is a lot of full time physicians making less than $200,000 in any state. Where are you getting your statistics?
Based on coworkers in the Engineering/transportation/environmental consultant firm I work with and our government clients
Mid-level managers (over 20-40 people): government workers just crack 100k (likely 15+ years of experience, most 20+), while those in private sector earn another 20-40k and can get there faster if they're good/no major setbacks in their career.
Engineers (civil, structural, environmental groups): can get to 100k fairly quickly, say 5-7 years, if they're good/clients like them, and especially if they take on project management tasks.
Other professions (eg urban planners, software developers): those that make 100k mostly have 10+ years of experience and/or take on project management or sales/client service roles.
Very few of the government workers I interact with are close to 100k. Only those that are office managers (oversee 30+) or have one of the few high up engineering or IT positions. There are many licensed engineers and experienced software developers making 50-60k.
Note: this is from a mid-sized (~250k) city, that is affordable.
You can search all the websites you want son, I work with and know dozens of physicians. Their incomes are nowhere near what the web is reporting. If our local troll/liar is a successful plastic surgeon in private practice, they can make serious money. If you're a plastic surgeon who has a better guy down the road, you make very little. Having MD or DO after your name doesn't guarantee you fabulous wealth.
Insurance product manager (VP). $190K last year. Will probably be down this year with less bonus.
I'm in my late 30s and I have a lot of friends in medicine, law, or finance that make a lot more than I do.

I work for one of the major computer companies in Austin.
I don't consider myself IT savvy, but stayed with the job since it pays well. I did not climb the corporate ladder nor did I ever want to. It is stressful, but it is still 40 hr job. I clock in and clock out. Rarely will I have to work overtime.
I started at $38K in 1999 and currently make $85K with $4000 Bonus.
I went to college but never graduated so I don't have a Bachelors.
I also Airbnb and make about $15K a year.
Most of my friends from HS ended up being Teachers.
Since public teacher salaries are public info, I looked them up recently and they are make over $100K which I was shocked. I didn't realize teachers make that much.
how do I get a hold of you? I'm curious about your youtube content creation? I'm the director of Business Development for a tech startup in Seattle, WA.

Business owner - 1 year (about $80k in personal salary, rest gets reinvested)
YouTube content creator - 2 years $40-50k/year
So about $125k last year. Hope to be closer to $250k this year.

Media Sales. I end up $170-$190k annually.
There's an increasing need for people in tech who can communicate about it. I work in the financial services industry but within the technology department and our HR team has been focusing on hiring people who don't necessarily have the tech background if they're in a position that doesn't require them to code or do the gritty tech work. We need people to interpret requirements, make sure the user interface is understandable, etc. Companies that are developing their own technology need people who can tell the stories to sell it. We also do use offshore software teams for development and executing test cases but it's usually only for very large projects and we often have a developer from the company onsite to interpret requirements, escalate issues, work through defect resolution, and direct the work of the development team.

Hmmm..... wrote:The big push to outsource development has been scaled back in recent years from my own experience. I think initially companies thought they could outsource their entire software development team off-shore and save millions. The reality is that it isn't feasible and the sustainable model is to have a strong on-site dev team that is supplemented with an off-shore team for doing the low-level programming.
What this means for people who are in dev now is that they are usually looked at as experts and are paid well for it.

Lots of people in tech - thus begs the question - why do people always complain about outsourcing and offshoring? Seems to be a lot of high paying tech jobs looking at this post.
The big question though - is software development engaging and fun or is it a lot of code monkey, mind numbing, code editing?
People complain abut outsourcing because a LOT of tech jobs are outsourced. My floor seats about 100 people and probably about 70% are foreigners, mostly Indian. On top of that, we have more people working off shore and near shore that does actual coding and development.
Tech and software is a good career but it does rely heavily on foreign workers.
This career is can be fun and engaging if you like doing this type of work (just like any other career). There is a big difference between what I do, mainframe software, and what a game developer does so the field is big enough to find your niche.
