    I think the medical industry in the U.S. is a gopd example of this, everywhere else its a vocation, paid well after a career of climbing the skill tree but almost never a path to excessive wealth. Except in the U.S. where doctors will betray their duty of care for a huge pile of opioid money.

      its the sackler, the MDs are just thier 'low level drug dealers they use as scapegoats. only a handful of health roles pay handsomely. MDs(the more uncommon the specialty the more pay), Nurses/LVNs, radiology techonologists(apparently its not a technician qualification, its more advanced, but does not require a degrees worth of classes) but very convoluted process of getting this job, CLS, requires significant investment in degree, preferabally something to do with labs/research, aka niche bio degrees. extremely cheap grad program though, hence why its so competitive(due to low amount of programs out there, and the cls instructors willing to teach such a class(same goes for rad tech).(because it mostly uses state universities rather more expensive and private universities)
