And yes I do know it's 12 years of schooling before someone brings it up. 
Not saying doctors have it easy or that it's a cake walk, but it's apples and oranges comparing doctors to mail carriers as one poster did, which is how this all got brought up. |
Your right it is apples and oranges, considering the knowledge that a doctor needs to aquire, the fact that they pretty much hold a patients life in their hands, and a single mistake not only can cost them a life, but a career path.
And I would assume that your wife's employer is a gp.
Doctors to me earn every single penny and perk that they get.
