>I worked at Vanderbilt on their payroll system, and I would regularly see general practitioners making $350,000 a year, and this was 15 years ago! It wasn’t uncommon to see teaching doctors getting paid a million dollars. It isn't uncommon for software developers to make $350,000 a year or even over a million if they get equity in the right company. Maybe the Googles of the world wouldn't have to spy on their users to the same extent if software developers weren't so greedy and taking such a huge slice of the value of their own labor. Would anyone here agree with that statement? If not, how is it fair to apply that same logic to doctors? It is also worth noting that doctors have other costs that don't apply to people in the tech industry such as the high cost of the extra schooling they must receive and malpractice insurance which can cost anywhere from a low 5 digits to $150,000+ a year deepening on their specialty.
