Partner is a Consultant for the NHS and I am surprised at the pay she gets. She also retrained as a Medical Negligence Lawyer some years ago...was paid 4 times the wage to pick faults in NHS work but returned to health as she hated the morality of it all.
As she says there is more to life than money and until you realise that you will never have enough.
Totally agree. It's all a balance. The current balance is wrong though
In the health service. My only regret as I get older is that I have to spend much longer in work than my colleagues used to to get anywhere near the same pay- hence less time with my daughter whilst she grows up. I am pleased I still manage to take on lots of the child care- although it's getting trickier due to insane medical insurance costs and high taxes.
It's lucky there is significant job satisfaction in the NHS otherwise it would be like the Marie Celeste.
