I am against student loan repayments. A plumber should not be paying for your gender studies degree.
Jesus Christ, if that’s true, I hope your medical deduction and reasoning is a hell of a lot better than what you exhibit here.
My reasoning is solid. You have the typical left issue where you think your opinion is a fact and new ideas scare you. Luckily I don’t practice much anymore. The pay wasn’t worth the BS. So I moved into sales. I use the same skills but Make a lot more money and work a lot less. I also do research on the side. That’s why I picked up a dsci since an Md isn’t normally research focused.
“New ideas scare you” is hilarious since the definition of conservative is disliking new ideas or ways of doing things.
Anyway, case in point: why can someone with a med degree pay off their loans and not people in other professions like teaching? Because the salaries are lower relative to cost of education and there is not much money left over after living expenses. Wow, that was hard to figure out.
Because the country desperately needs more doctors and paying for their education is a huge incentive for people to go into the field. Not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to afford to go to school for 8-10 years. Lack of ability should be the only thing barring a prospective doctor, not the fact that they don’t have a family wealthy enough to support them through their education.
Umm. That’s not his medical school works. We have a limited number of slots. It’s a supply vs demand issue.
It’s not like we are sitting around with billets not being used. Medical schools turn away a large amount of people who apply due to space.
Then you have residency. We have a shortage of spots in the residency programs. So even if you graduate medical school, you may not get selected for residency.
Without residency, your job options are very limited.
You are completely missing that we are not just talking about doctors. That’s just an example. We also need nurses, teachers, engineers, and all sorts of other jobs requiring advanced degrees. (Part of the reason med school is limited is there aren’t enough people to teach it. The demand is there, the supply can’t keep up).
