Im just saying that most of your choices are based upon income and expense. You know, from an early age, what pays more money and what doesnt. Teachers make crappy money because relatively easy to get that degree vs say being a trauma surgeon. Thats not to degrade teachers, but lets be honest, its a low paying job and most people know it getting into it.

Most peoples goal in life is to acquire as much wealth as they can within a certain moral compass. Wealth is a HIGHLY motivating factor.

And you guys are full of shit, anyone who turns down $20k EXTRA a year for a little pain ...................is full of shit hahaha

I agree with your general point that money is a big factor in people's decisions. I listed it as the number one factor in the breakdown I gave. Our main disagreement seems to be on how big of a factor it is (on average). Also, no one was saying that doctors shouldn't be well compensated, it was simply a discussion of the effects of a relatively small change. When you consider the high tax brackets most doctors are in, the pain is even less than it may seem at first too.

Your scenario of an asshole boss is not a minor pain. That's 40-60/hr every week of my life. That would have a big impact on how enjoyable my life is and it would not be offset by 20k. Of course if it were 50k I may change my mind. Also 20k would be a lot more meaningful to someone making minimum wage whereas to me, it wouldn't change my life much.
