Good friend just finished school and started working in May


It's interesting how the medical field has great starting pay for a new grad but doesn't change much after 15-20 years experience like other industries

My wife is a nurse and wanted to do CRNA school when we met. Now that we have a baby, she wants to work even less than she does now and no more school.

That's a good question. I would imagine in PE if you're planning to rise in management a Masters is helpful. Even though most of the guys I Know get MBAs.

In fairness, unless they are on call, don't their dsys tend to start and end fairly early.

There is one on here that posted the other day and he said he made over 300k a year and works 20-30 hours a week max. That is legit!

Yeah but making 150 to 200k for 20 years isn't bad.

I work for a large tech firm, and this is sorta true. But that is only for top grads from top schools in big cities.

We hire mostly from top 25 schools, and our new grads start out around $80k.
