Why are all of these articles on comp so wrong?

  Can you elaborate on what is wrong about them?

    They always just seem meaningless, for example: What is a Computer and Information Systems Manager? What jobs does that cover? Let's say maybe it's software engineers, why are we comparing doctors, who's comp is all salary, to engineers, who can have 50%+ bonuses? Law is a well known bimodal distribution. BigLaw pays $190k salary + bonus straight out of law school. Where are bankers and consultants? Post-MBA comp is $150k - $165k salary + bonus. The articles just never seem to align with what I've heard by word of mouth.

      Almost half of doctors in the USA are not on salary, they are partners in their own practice.
