Nope, Eastern Europe. We both got pretty good education (even got to study abroad for a few semesters) and it was free for both of us, but her annual pay is around 30k$ while mine is around 35k$ (the median wage is about 15k$). Its really easy to earn more than that if you remotely work for a German or American company, but as a doctor you cant do that unless you move (not an option).
- lotsofpulp 5y agoOh, my bad. Yes, that changes things quite a bit. I am surprised it takes 12 years in Eastern Europe. I thought it was ~8 years in Europe.
- lpapez 5y ago6 years college minimum. Mandatory one year of general practice and then you can apply for specialist education. Specialization can then take years to begin, but it can also start right away depending how lucky you are and you do it for five years minimum. So that makes it 12 years minimum. After that, most hospitals require you to stay working there for another 5 years otherwise you have to pay for specialization school (about 30k$). After that, you are free to live your life :)
- emerongi 5y agoThe sad truth is that your girlfriend in the wrong country. It's the same in mine, where many doctors move to nearby countries where they can earn many multiples more.
