    I know. I also think there is a show for the other side. meaning, A show about what's happening on earth when the moon is blasted away.

    You could have 2 shows, one a fun Sci-FI, the other a post apocalypse drama.

    Because if it is possible, in theory, then we can look into WHAT makes it possible.

    You would have us d no science unless we can predict what the outcome will be head of time. If we could do that we wouldn't need science any more becasue we would no everything.

    If it's like all the other complaint I have read, then.. nothing was wrong with it.

    Slap an Ad Hom is not really a complaint.

    " couple hundred meters from space dock"
    Based on? You have no reference to scale the distance. Not that ti matters, they ahve gone to warp close to things many times throughout the series.

    " and dropped out in Vulcan orbit."
    so? No the first time the came out of warp in an orbit.

    This is about your profession, not your economic situation so you are being irrelevant. I no a lot of Drs that work 20 hours at a time.

    And yes, the 'study; is ajoke.

    You need to make a plan to get to a better place. Both career wise and location.
    now, about Dr. Pay:

    http://mdsalaries.blogspot.com/

    while more then you paltry sum, certainly not 300-700 K and mansion purchasing.
    Also worth noting, Malpractice can cost from 4K to 85K depending on location and specialty.
    How much insurance do you pay to code?

    Depends on experience and profession.
    Are you a Jr. maintaining some VB app? or are you writing algorithms for wall street trading software?
    One makes a lot less then the other.

    SO to lump all Drs and compare it to YOUR salary is stupid.

    as a side note: 30K US? really? That was my starting salary of 20 years ago. Maybe that because I am on the west cost?
    30K is about 15 an hour.

    Anyways, make a plan, start you own consulting. Move. Also, stop with Graphic design, if you can't get hired by Apple, you're not going to make shit developing UI.

    Sad, but true.

    Make plan livebetter

    I'm actually curious a to why that profession is on the list. Not trolling, just wondering. I had suspected you had an office job, read/write papers and do anylisys for whatever organization hired you. But I am surprised that it's so time consuming you can get 8 hours.

    I know,l this whole post sounds like a troll, but I can't think of any other way to put it.
