[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be fine with it and I could definitely see a lot of positives that a dr. spouse would bring to the table, particularly generally having job security (COVID situation notwithstanding).  Debt load might be a concern depending on specialty/pay but that's not a unique concern to doctors.  I wouldn't marry anyone that regularly works 60+ hours per week regardless of profession.[/quote]

This. I’m the poster with lots of doctors in my family. Their job security is phenomenal. I swear, they simply have a NO clue what it means to stress about having to find a job or build a career. To the point where they can lack empathy about people in other professions. One of my siblings was dogging on a cousin of ours for a time he lost his job years before. He was laid off during an economic downturn. I stuck up for him, pointing out layoffs were common during this time. Sibling scoffed, “people who work hard and  are good at their jobs don’t get laid off.” Simply no clue.[/quote]

Your siblings must not be in high paying specialties.  Specialty drs that are at the high end of pay scales don't have great job security.  Finding another job is hard and could take a year plus.  Finding a new job usually means a large pay cut too as the compensation is geared toward someone recently out of fellowship.[/quote]

The physician unemployment rate is .7% ... so they def have great job security [/quote]
