Sounds like you don't understand what it takes to become a physician.

I know this one too well. I have 2 doctors, 1 nurse, and 1 Doctor of Pharmacy in my family.

Isn't it weird that you encouraged your kids to pursuit high education to have a better life, but they make less money than you? lol

Your post was about how what your son makes compares to UPS employees.
I said I don't care about how much your son makes. It's irrelevant.
I didn't miss your point.
And I still don't care how much your son makes.
Hope this clears up your confusion my very good friend.

I might have forgot to mention that he makes $195 in his "moonlighting" job as a physician. All Telehealth. Not really making less money than me.

I can believe that... I got sick of Microsoft's BS long before the industry was eviscerated, and got out.
I know what it is... I can see how hospital conglomerates (and the insurance industry) would grind a bunch of healthcare employees to dust, if they let them. It's just that half the personal fortunes in America eventually flow into the healthcare system (everyone needs care\treatment eventually,) yet they are always crying poor -- can't make ends meet -- need more money, etc. If you can't find a way to make at least $200k in that profession these days, you gotta be doing something wrong.
They might have doctor's in Mexico that work for $25k\yr, but there has to be some resistance from the public to taking that gamble.

An anecdote embedded in a story like this typically isn't the point trying to be made, rather just supporting evidence of sorts to the OP's thought process.
Hope this helps clear up your confusion.
....or was it an intentional attempt at being obtuse?

Bully.
Oh, I'm well aware of the physicians' pathway. You said he was in his second fellowship, not in his second fellowship year, very different things as fellowships typically require some term of medical practice between residency and fellowship, and between sub-specialty fellowships. A lot of times, whether said fellowship requires work experience or not, an inexperienced physician applying for a position in that program is often beat out by a practicing physician who is expanding into a sub-specialty.
Perhaps it was just a typo or an oversight on your part in the midst of your inapplicable anecdote. That happens.
Glad you feel that career PTers (~10% of the bargaining unit) are getting such a good deal, for many of the rest of us, they are mortgaging our future to offer these raises.

It wasn't an anecdote embedded in a story.
It is the story and the point of the thread.
And I still don't care how much his son makes.
I hope this clears up your confusion.
... or were you intentionally being obtuse?

Personally I am against the TA even though it means an immediate $2.75/hr raise and a bump in my PT pension. I have to stand with the lower seniority and future members.

You put the story out there boss...
The only Jobs that keep up with inflation are entry-level (like fast food), and CEOs
The rest of us inbetween get bumped up periodically and not at the same schedule. That's how you end up with Plumbers and teachers making more than some doctors and lawyers, and Truck drivers (like UPS) leap frogging them all at times.
