$150k on nurse anesthetist.
I make 125k in NYC and I basically just need to code hard for 1 hour a day to make enough headway and then can just take bathroom breaks, surf the web, go out and walk around the city with a coffee. Not bad. Stupid job though.
Screw our society with these dumb jobs.
Do you know what my father went to the ER for? It was serious....smh. As for residency, I’m well aware of what that is. Doctors do have continuing education...at least the good ones do. I think you identify as a subpar healthcare professional and therefore make the assumption that everyone is like yourself.
Overall this post is rather sad. Many professions in which you can earn 150K. Either you find your job to be meaningful or something that just pays the bills. Ideally, you’d want both. Anybody who posts about making 150K while doing nothing all day on a running website seems to be in need of some attention. He (or she) is probably bored or lonely. We are here to support you, darling. Sometimes people take up smoking or other vices to break up the monotony.
Way to go! That’s a great salary. You should do nice things for your partner.... that’s the best part of making so much...the givingness....maybe buy them something nice every once in awhile. I bought my ex comfortable underwear. My ex has a new partner but I’m sure the underwear is worn every night they’re together. I’m glad I gave my ex thoughtful little things with my modest salary during our time together. Please do the same if you haven’t already.

Did you actually write continuing education? Dude, I got flown to Hawaii for a conference last year for a week. That covered two years worth of CE. I won’t tell you who paid for the trip.
We all know that your employer isn’t too bright, so nothing to brag about here. You’re still disposable once a competent boss takes notice.
No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. Matthew 6:24
Are you a corporate diversity czar?

That is true, and as a tax payer I wish it would happen. But it won’t. I’ve been hoping for years and it will never happen for the exact same reason that I’m still here.

You can argue sure maybe they're just babysitting all day but trust me, there's alot of time outside of work dealing with bullsh*t - think lesson planning.
Lesson planning is not bullsp*nk. That's the biggest point of the job. Grading is part of the job that teachers hate. Dealing with parents, beaurocracy, and unruly children is what make the job not worth it.
And I know people in education pulling down $150,000. Doing nothing would be wrong, but also they can't just stroll in work late, skip out early, or take vacation in the middle of the year.

Ah, that’s your big mistake. You should switch over to healthcare administration that way you could do even less to help patients and make 5-10x what a RN/RT/NP/PA/DO/MD makes.
Plus, you could still surf LRC all day and still essentially practice (bad) medicine via admistrative decisions that save money at the expense of patient care.

$150k on nurse anesthetist.
Yea must be a CRNA.
Did a week of anesthesia as a med student. I was bored to tears after two days. At least the anesthesiologists get to monitor multiple rooms and run around doing blocks and what not. But if you enjoy doing nothing and making a comfortable living, kudos!
I feel sorry for you, buddy. The fact that you inherited so much money without lifting a finger seems to have robbed you of any motivation to do anything important or meaningful with your life. One day you will wake up and wonder what the hell you ever accomplished that had made a difference to anyone. You won’t like the answer you will tell yourself.
District superintendent or principal?

I know, many on letsrun make more than me, but did I mention I do nothing all day? Also, I’m hourly and frequently work overtime (also doing nothing).
Meh. I make about $750k per year, and I mostly do nothing. Well, I have lunch meetings, and coffee meetings, and status meetings, and more coffee meetings, then meet clients for evening drinks, and take them to sporting events and stuff. But I don’t actually do any work. The minions do that. I just get paid to have fun.

most of these are in the government, hence why we have tens of trillions of dollars in debt...
Going to bust this myth real quick...let's see a quick list of major accomplishments of the US government:
- most powerful military on the planet (our largest SOCIAL program)
- put a man on moon
- developed and detonated the first A-bomb
- invented the Internet (yes, if the internet were not ever invented by the government you would not have been able to spew your ignorance to tens of people)
The government, it seems, is the bedrock and foundation for US capitalism.
You'll note that many of these are kind of a long time ago. That's because we continue to invest less in government by cutting taxes incrementally.
As we continue to cut taxes, we'll see a continual decline in innovation as capitalism itself doesn't solve problems - rather, it looks for higher profits.

Yeah the private practice surgeon I used to work for a few years ago would do his surgeries at a hospital and always told me to become one because they do some setup, get checked by the anesthetist, and then text until it's time to wrap up. Livin the dream
Glad to know you are takin' care of business. I also love to work at nothin' all day.
