Why do people look down on people who do "blue collar" jobs?

My dad is a physician as well and his hours are on his own basis, he has the choice to work longer hours if he wants to but found a comfortable balance between work and time at home. But he is also 59 years old and doesn't want to work too many hours due to his health, it is a case by case consideration most of the time the doctors pulling those super long shifts do so on their own because they think they can handle it

lionblood is putting the medical field on a pedal stool.

Some of my good friends own a trucking company and drive every load themselves. They definitely aren't just driving around and that's it.

Tell me how easy it is to figure out how to do trucking in the dirt after it rains 8 inches in a night? It's not that simple.

What about an enormous load that you have to get permits for because it's so heavy the roads can't take the weight if it's below freezing but it has to go anyways. How would you figure that one out?

What do you do when an old lady takes out your truck and it needs a bunch of work but you have a bunch of money on the line because stuff has to go?

No job is that simple. Stop acting like the medical field is the only hard job.

Yeah, office politics suck so much.

That's the reason why I choose to stay to myself when I'm at work.

Again it depends on the type of Doctor you are... I shadowed an ophthalmologist for a year and dude had his own practice saw patients as he chose and performed surgery twice a month.


Granted it was mentally taxing but physically he didn't move at all, he had his secretaries and office help to do that. I'm not sure how stressed he was as he was a private person but the job became monotonous after a while there was no excitement sort of a repetitive job

I also know opthalmologists that perform 20 cataract surgeries a day, when surgeons get older they cut back on how hard they work.


It does depend on what type of doctor you are but hell even internal medicine doctors work physically grueling hours. Walking around the hospital for a 24+ hour shift wil take its tole on your body. Some specialties are known for being a little "lighter" eg. radiology, dermatology

Radiology as a whole is not physically stressful but the mental stress is insane. My "easy" nights on call were more stressful than anything I did in Med school or intern year.

IR can be physically grueling if you're doing real IR like TIPS
