Average physician has lower lifetime earnings than a UPS driver. Most of the difference comes from time spent in training instead of earning, and ... financing a giant pile of school debt.
If one of your exemplars has lower lifetime earnings than a UPS driver, your point may be on shaky ground.
- areoform 8y ago[Citation Needed] There are multiple specialities and multiple pay grades. I'd appreciate seeing a citation for this claim.

- kozhevnikov 8y agoWould you prefer to work as a UPS driver or as a physician? It's like looking at a country's debt while ignoring everything else. Yes, Greece has less debt (inc. per capita) than the US, but you can't seriously suggest it is better off for it. Your estate might be better off with higher lifetime earnings but not necessarily you while you still alive.

- bluedevil2k 8y agoThese numbers are wonky in the article. Average salary of UPS driver = $57,000. Average salary of a doctor = $299,000 (1) https://www.truckdriverssalary.com/ups-driver-salary/ https://www.truckdriverssalary.com/ups-driver-salary/ (2) https://www.usnews.com/news/health-care-news/articles/2018-04-11/report-despite-physician-salary-increases-wage-gaps-still-exist https://www.usnews.com/news/health-care-news/articles/2018-0...
