[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Dad’s best friend was an emergency room position.

In his later years, he and his wife would rent a condo for six weeks on Sanibel Island. He could not afford to buy a condo there. The neighbor was a retired plumber. He owned three condos in the building.  My emergency room doctor friend said he should’ve been a plumber and not an ER doctor and he would’ve been able to afford to buy a condo.

Lol!  OP here-  I’m a physician too.

To the poster who said pipe dream, I hear you …. Need to sit down with her after APs and show her the pros and cons of different paths. Yes, I can afford college and maybe even to support her, but that’s not the goal. Being independent and support oneself is crucial.

As for trades being hard on your body in your 40s…. I’m a physician and it was hard on my body those last 2 yrs of med school and for all of residency. Even now in practice, it’s not ergonomic and it’s exhausting work, working at top speed, always “on”.  Not complaining, I enjoy the work. And it is a profession that doesn’t fire you in your 50s.
