Whats wrong with $60k? I make just slightly more than that.

I used to make about $90k but holy fuck that job sucked more balls than Pick3 at Cutter's. The stress wasnt worth it. I love my new job and dont even care that i took almost $30k pay cut.

Its always interesting how the higher the paying job, the more stress comes with it.

Definitely true.

A big part of what you're buying with the higher salary is a buck-stops-here guarantee.

And the irony is at the higher levels, there isn't much a CEO can do in the short (i.e 3-6 months) level. So if things start to go bad, it's a multi-year fix even best case.

I love this cartoon:

Plunkey's current problem is spending his Saturday morning writing a talk on the benefits of physicians forming implant distributorships and going at-risk for the cost of metals in orthopedic surgery. (not the spine kind either... many of those are just pass-through markup deals).

The hospitals will hate the idea at first. But here's what I don't get. Hospitals are so excited about hiring physicians as employees but don't like the idea of doing business with physician-owned distributorships. Why in the world would you hire someone that you don't trust enough to do business with?

I'm right in the middle.

The really technical stuff I get to farm out to "the experts"

& the menial stuff I get to delegate down
