Absolutely true. But saying UK doctors are underpaid because they’re paid half of a US doctor while ignoring everyone is paid half of a US person for everything

Absolutely true. But saying UK doctors are underpaid because they’re paid half of a US doctor while ignoring everyone is paid half of a US person for everything is disingenuous. Everyone in the UK is inexplicably underpaid, and everything is expensive.
What was your brothers take on the US?
- skissane 3y ago> What was your brothers take on the US? He lived in a small town in Oregon with his first wife. While they weren’t paid a lot, life wasn’t expensive either. I think he would have stayed except the marriage didn’t work out. Obviously that isn’t an entirely fair comparison to London, but I still think the pay-to-expenses ratio would be more favourable in small-town US than small-town UK
- fnordpiglet 3y agoYeah skilled labor in construction fields in the US can be very well paid, and there’s a massive demand and short supply.
