by the way, the equivalent of consultants pay in public sector is principal and LTC in SAF. how many prinicipals are there in a school? 1. how many LTCs are there in SAF? not many. (dont forget SAF personnel retire at 50) VPs in banks earn a similar amount. only drs have the stability that comes with the high pay.
most of the specialists(if you can get specialist training) become consultants by default. there are a lot of 3rd world consultants for reference. if it were really that hard/competitive, there wouldnt be so many 3rd world consultants, which is generally an indicator for jobs that no one wants to do.
and going to the private sector is just a natural consequence. no one is an angel. everyone works for the money.
in conclusion, being a dr is a stable path that people respect, and is compensated well compared to engineers, teachers and most other jobs.
saying anything else is just misleading others. singaporeans are money faced. if drs were really being paid as 'well' as teachers, do you really think they would be fighting to get into NUS medicine? |
Bro,
LTC and Principals do not earn 20k "at least". Some consultants do earn above 20k but not most.
Nowadays, doctors are just like any other professional. Renumeration are similar if not slightly higher as compared to other professionals like teachers, military officers, accountants, engineers.
If one wants to earn big bucks, look towards the finance industry and not the medical sector. Not to mention the much higher cost of getting a MBBS as compared to any other degrees.
