What should really get you mad about Wall Street’s overpaid 22-year-olds
It’s not about whether the banks pay too much, but rather a question of whether the rest of corporate America pays to (sic) little.
Greed and excess? How much did Wall Street get in bail out money?
How much do our college/university graduates get? How much interest are we charged?
Pardon my irk that these 22 year olds are getting paid well over the 6 figure mark. And, on a good year they get close to $200,000.
The article goes on to say that the rest of America should be able to well-compensate their employees.
I think America should compensate our Resident Physician workforce. Hell, even fully trained doctors should be getting paid more. That may not be a popular sentiment until people realize 1) how much it costs to go through training, 2) how many years of lost income we have when we are being paid roughly $12/hour (I calculated this based on my salary), 3) how every other profession has had a steady rise in salary since the 1980s EXCEPT medicine, 4) most of healthcare expenses do NOT go into physician pockets, 5) if we allow our best and brightest to avoid Medicine for “greener” pastures of law and business, we’re in for trouble in the next few decades. I’ll stop there because it is getting depressing. But I could continue to count-up.
