what do you regret.?

Is it worth the $30/hr, if you had the opportunity to do something else, would you take it , what would you have done (like be a lawyer). i can't decide between this and being a lawyer. I love both things a lot. I wanna hear someone else's perspective.

medic and lawyer

you’re choosing 2 careers with long hours and severe burnout lol

lawyer might get replaced somewhat by AI, so going the EMS/healthcare route might be better

Why are there so many lawyers who are medics who are medics who want to be lawyers? Ambulance chasers or people that just can't pass the bar?

I think many medics are nerds that like reading to some extent.

True it's weird if maybe we paid more. We'd actually keep the ones that are really smart and figure it out.
