The prospect of going to school for 10 years, amassing huge amounts of debt, and entering a field where you are not in control over what your "product" is worth has cast a lot of doubt on their prospects for the future.

I recently had an outpatient procedure done on a knee at a local Orthopedics office. The bill for that procedure exceeded $4,000. With Medicare and secondary insurance payments all in, the doctor's net was less than 600 bucks. Again, this is something going on all over the country...not just here in the bubble.
My daughter worked in cardiac care in a Maryland teaching hospital until the Covid vaccine mandates. She was told to take the shot or take a walk. She ended up being forced out and then finishing her business degree. By the time they called her begging her to take her job back (with a sign-on bonus), she had graduated with honors and was working for one of the big accounting / consulting firms. She is done with the health care field and not going back. Mandates have consequences.

P.S. My entire family remains mRNA vaccine free and we've not lost a single person to Covid.
