That is just NHS though. Thankfully would be a good bit higher with private practice.

But yeah, doctors definitely aren't as rich as others seem to think (sadly :frown:

).

He did a six year course. I assume he didn't take a gap year but the lowest would be 24. That's why I said 26 years

Yeah, £90000 does seem rather low. Still, perhaps with no private practice and no clinical excellence awards, that would be roughly accurate? I don't know how common such clinical excellence awards are.

He did a six year course since he has an MA. I assume he didn't take a gap year but the lowest would be 24. That's why I said 26 years.

Hey I'm just curious would you be happy to say how much you earn roughly and how old you are and what type of consultant you'd like to be? I'm just interested in how much you'd earn at that stage.

Benz GLE coupe or jaguar f type, probably the f type

I've had one of those. I got more attention in it than any other car I've driven. Good for the ego, but just a bit noisy, even with the dynamic exhaust option switched off.

Daddy Kyber didn't have a great upbringing and is socialist and has a tendency to be hostile to his buds who do private work and take money filled schemes.

If you do an academic degree do you have to drop out or can you still work btw?

Also, I feel like my dad is becoming really identifiable so I'm just gonna stop now :smile:

Medics should be entitled to luxury, we establish this economy and make society running. We should be praised and worshipped not degraded by the politicians in white hall.

A health secretary should not be a poxy failed politcian who studied PPE at Magdallen college, Oxford. In fact, it should be an individual with a medical background, and understands the mechansms of the NHS! Then the NHS would be saved.

Medics should not pay student debt, if they are enrolled in the NHS, and should pay considerably less for tutition fees. Universities, in addition, should provide more places and reduce difficulty of admission processes.

Please tell me who would want to go to medical/nursing school so they can work as a secretary? People go into healthcare because they want to work with patients, not be stuck doing admin.

The admission process is so difficult, because you want good doctors, not just anyone. I agree there should be more spaces, but medical training is much more complex than just squeezing people into a lecture hall.
Idk how many students you think medical schools should have, but mine has about 300 and distributing us all across different hospitals so that there is enough staff to look after us and so that everyone gets roughly similar experience seems to be quite a challenge for the uni

£46k at 27 isn't too bad. I don't really know what CT1/2 are or what ST3-7 is though. And are those minumins/starting salaries?

Oh okay, so are there anyways to get bonuses or increases in the salary? Like if you work longer? Also what are 'Clinical excellence awards'? How many ways are there of increasing the salary? Sorry for being annoying btw :colondollar:

To be honest, if i see someone who has spent many thousands on a car - for, what, slightly smoother suspension? Slightly larger seats? - then i immediately recognise that their priorities are very different to mine and my opinion of them drops significantly.

My dream car is something that is small and fuel efficient so that it is good for the environment and easy to park.

It was the perfect antidote to the cloak of invisibility that shrouds women after the age of 30. But I got rid of it because of the effect that such a beautiful car had in drawing out ugly parts of my personality. Good experience to have had tho'.
