alt Hacker Newsi mean sure, but all skilled labor is trending towards 200-300K wages in the us.
if a "senior" software engineer can make half a mil, and an electrician can make 200k, of course doctor pay are high.
who is going to take 10-15 years of school and debt otherwise?
No it isn't! The median wage for an electrician in the United States is about $65,000. It's nowhere near $200,000. The median general skilled wage is lower than that.
