[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]whatever makes them feel good about themselves.

we all know the truth. [b]we all know they didn't do 48 hour shifts at a teaching hospital, or pass organic chemistry, or make it through a med school app process or match day.[/b] we also know they don't make decisions under uncertainly every day, nor life/death decisions, nor have weighty decisions to make while taking 4 years to maybe publish something in a niche journal.

and they can thank us any day for paying taxes to support the grant money for their 6+ years of grad school toils. [/quote]

Um, not clear what the point is that you're trying to make.  So anything that's not med school is not a worthy professional endeavor?  Why is med school the comparator?[/quote]

PP is resentful that my PhD (physics) was paid for 100% by grant funds.  I also supplied very cheap labor to the gov't while doing my research, and we made some import discoveries that actually matter.  After finishing, I made decent money; now I am paid near the median salary for primary care physician with zero debt.[/quote]
