Look, let's be honest here. Tell me another job where you
- "see" your first customer (a doc that has heard pretty much the same message for the past two years) at 10:30. At 10:33, you're headed back to the car.
- 10:45, you start gearing up for that almighty lunch, go and pick up the food and beverage at 11:15, head over to the office
- Roll up to the office 20 minutes early, sit in the break room and chat with staff and nurses that swing by until the doc (or three-if we're lucky) shows up for a few minutes
- Hang out with office staff and random nurse in break room until 12:30-12:45.
- 12:50, head out to the car, try to catch one or maybe two more docs for signatures before pick-up at Montessori.
For this life, like many of us I get paid six figures and get fantastic benefits and more PTO than my spouse, who works their butt off. Because this is a stress-free life, I also have time to manage our two rental properties, each with three doors. I've never missed any of the kids' recitals, games or parent-teachers meetings. Not once.
So yeh, I'm still in primary care and over 35. But in my opinion, I'm winning because of the FREEDOM to live my life while kicking ass in sales. So what do I care that I dont get promoted, or that I have to deal with my boss (a well-known pervert?). I still win.
