I also don't make a lot of money - I own a business, but it's still a new thing, so it doesn't even bring me money yet. <br />I'll be coming back for sure!microsoft dynamics axhttps://ax-dynamics.com/microsoft-dynamics-axnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135643188634165782.post-58628915290313319482015-11-15T20:50:21.777-08:002015-11-15T20:50:21.777-08:00It’s amazing to visit again n again coming to your...It’s amazing to visit again n again coming to your blogs the superb effort is here. <a href="https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mark-curry" rel="nofollow">MacFarlane Gro</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00536647169868657088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135643188634165782.post-17071605626005390622014-01-26T09:55:51.907-08:002014-01-26T09:55:51.907-08:00Doctors in the USA are overpaid.

I don't mean to make everyone sound mercenary. That said, when a student takes up medicine at 20 yrs of age, I am not sure how many think of saving lives as a motivation.<br /><br />@ Ravi: Good point. The research paper I linked to does have the NPV number as well. But there are multiple other assumptions on NPV like discount rate, hour adjustment etc which make things a bit complex to explain. So I showed the simpler IRR numbers. Anyway, result - with a 7.5% discount rate, speciality doctors have a 40% higher NPV than MBAs, and primary care doctors have about 40% lower.JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389094051972795199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135643188634165782.post-26022761473894655992010-03-04T05:01:04.568-08:002010-03-04T05:01:04.568-08:00I don't think that IRR is the appropriate metr...I don't think that IRR is the appropriate metric here, given that this investment is not scalable. NPV would make more sense and I guess doctors would fare the best on that.<br /><br />For example, a non-college educated WalMart worker may have the highest IRR given his initial investment is close to 0Ravihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04868865215396743883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135643188634165782.post-32552840026287142572010-03-03T18:18:27.563-08:002010-03-03T18:18:27.563-08:00But, I understand that the reward of saving a life...But, I understand that the reward of saving a life is incomparable to anything that an MBA will get in most jobs.
