Very enterprising. Good.

Funny right? All my CG mates kids all not doing medicine.
The successful relatives send kids do economics. Law.
Only the uninformed encourage kids be dr.
But no realize what a raw deal it is.
Husband and wife both MMeder also live in small condo.
Husband got to locum at night.
Meanwhile bankers have 2 landed.

Those reading. Please ok. Dont condemn your kids by
Telling them to be drs.
I suppose if surgeon still ok. Although I hear competition
In pte sector is very fierce now.
Finance still the best sector.
Retire already got the skills ans knowledge to manage your
Funds.
Where I am I cant even prescribe antibiotics to my kids.
Conflict of interest. Super useless skill being dr for
Own family and self. Useless.
Plumber electrician accountant all can work on own stuff
Own family.
Medicine only good for earning money.

U can prescribe for ur own kids

Quite true. Locum rates were stagnant for many years. Only went up due to Covid and I see it coming down again.

Sigh...why are Drs' salaries stagnant?
