When I worked retail in college I dealt with impulsive millionaires all of the time. They would spend up to $50k without blinking on computers and crap. I sold a neurosurgeon $75k worth of laptops, games, and accessories so his kids, nephews and nieces could amuse themselves on a ski road trip. My dads neighbor (Wall St type who plays gentleman farmer) bought a kenworth and custom trailer so he could haul 3 cars to a salt flat with his buddies once a year. The impulsive buys get bigger with bank account.
If you’re some princling, pictures of a gulfstream or yacht are the equivalent of a lady in a bikini leaning over a sports car in a magazine.
Advertise they need houses and cars that say "Welcome Mr. (Billionaire)" as they enter.
Use terms like "machine learning" and "AI", maybe "blockchain" if you really need to seal the deal.
"Who's more impressed? Your friends when they enter just another mansion, or your friends when they enter the only mansion that addresses its owner by name?"
There better be a big payday if I’m spending all my 20s in school and then 100 weeks in residency a few years and then finally in my 30s I start making money, but I still have to deal with the general public, and they’re sick.
Unless you don't have other options or really, really love teaching, I wouldn't recommend becoming a teacher unless the pay was greatly increased. Too much liability and annoyance of dealing with other parents.
They may not have a choice, people who are intelligent enough and/or supported enough to become doctors presumably have other high paying options. High pay is determined by supply and demand, not how hard you work.
I don’t see insurance company executives compensated any more than other large company executives. If anything, insurance companies are more conservative.
This is peculiar US thing where anything said against doctor is taken as personal slight. All healthcare issues have been caused by insurance, government, bureaucracy or anyone except doctors.
Health care insurance CEOs are paid well, and better than others in that system. [0]
Insurance companies in general are generous with their CEOs. Total compensation for CEO of Allstate was $42 million in 2010 (last time I checked them).
Right, it's about the health care industry, which includes insurance companies and other segments of the industry. It shows that health insurance CEOs are paid better than CEOs from other segments of the industry. It is in response to the assertion that insurance execs are compensated more conservatively than execs from other large companies, specifically compared to segments of the same industry.
Can confirm. I worked in high end audio visual sales when I was younger (Calgary) and there were plenty of oil-money rich people who would come in and drop $50-100k and not even look at you as they dropped their black Amex on the counter.
