examples of incomesby R Wilner, DPM (no login)Examples of Incomes: The Drug reps make above $60,000 per year. My cousin earns way in excess of $150,000 per year. No student loans. The benefits include a car, a 40 hour week, no malpractice insurance, and nobody asking you if you should cut it "straight across or in the edges". My close friend who is a manufactures rep for eyeglasses makes $300,000 a year. Car Mechanic for dealer makes $15.00 per hour. Physical Therapists can earn over $100,000 a year. The starting salaries in hospitals are posted. There ARE jobs available-- UNLIKE podiatry. Check your sunday paper. Any Sunday. Nurses make $25 an hour. 4 year degree, Delgado Community College Instructor makes $22-26,000. pharmacists make $60,000- 70,000. In my opinion, a "doctor level" program that needs a long residency and has the very high tuition must have incomes of 100,000+ or else it makes no economic sense as a business venture. And, the gamble is on the fact that the majority of the income comes from Medicare. Who can predict how Medicare will handle podiatry? And who whats to tie one's life to that? from IP address 67.25.11.101 Goto Forum Home |
