Primary Care Doctors saying NO to $191K/year

Primary care doctors do not typically start out at $191,000 per year. That comes after 4 years of undergrad plus 7 years of medical training, then many more years of working 12+ hour days 27 days a month to build a practice. Subtract 40% for taxes and a thousand or more a month for student loans and all of a sudden it doesn't seem like an exorbitant amount of money.

While “golden handcuffs” generally refer to the policy of providing high pay and incentives to employees in order to deter them from leaving a company1, this article submits that law school graduates face another kind of golden handcuff – investing time and money to complete the seemingly prestigious Juris Doctor degree only to be placed in the unfortunate position of not having many options to recoup the investment in the current economic crisis, or, for those fortunate enough to land a high-paying position, being shackled to the job for 80 plus hours a week for years at a time.
