"The cynical betrayal of junior hospital doctors continues

Doctors' Mess

After five or six years at medical school, most newly qualified doctors have educational loans far higher than other students. And when they start work, most of them have no alternative but to live for at least part of the week in hospital accommodation. The hours may not be as long as they were but the shift system still means unsociable start and finishing times and that makes commuting difficult. Rotating jobs means it is impossible to settle in one area. Buy a house in Birmingham and then your next job is in Manchester. It was hard enough for a newly qualified doctor to buy a house in the first place. Now (s)he is forced to pay huge sums of money for tatty hospital accommodation, it is impossible.

The use of university halls-style rooms in their first year after graduating has been used as an excuse to keep the starting salary of junior doctors low, just £21,000 this year, compared to the average graduate's first salary of £24,000. But the provision of free accommodation has been removed without any compensatory pay rise. (source)

Remember also that newly qualified doctors are not “average” students. They are la crème de la crème. How do other high-flying graduates fare?

As a trainee solicitor in London you will earn £37,500 in year 1, and £41,500 in Year 2. Once you're qualified, this rises to £66,000 plus a bonus scheme. (CMS Cameron McKenna)


Graduate Starting Salaries
STARTING SALARIES for graduate Lawyers have shot through the £60,000 mark for the first time – more than twice the level they were a decade ago. But some graduates can expect to earn less than £15,000 per year in their first graduate role. Newly employed solicitors from London’s top firms have seen salaries rise by sixteen percent in the last twelve months to £64,000. Many trainee solicitors can expect to earn ‘only’ £35,000 – the same amount as trainee accountants. High-earning graduates often see their pay packet swell with a £10,000 Golden Hello on top of their annual earnings.

Investment banker £33,000
Management consultant £24,000 – £35,000
Junior doctor £20,741
Police constable £20,397
Teacher £20,133
Nursery manager £20,000
Nurse £19,683
Civil service administrator £19,387
Paramedic £19,195
Electrical engineer £17,000 – £27,000
Soldier £15,700
Library assistant £15,000
Full-time shop assistant £13,000 – £16,000
Teaching assistant £11,000 – £14,000
Fashion model £10,000 – £15,000
Regional newspaper reporter £10,000
Part-time nursery nurse £7,500 – £10,400 (Student Direct)

So a newly qualified doctor thus earns little more than a nurse or a paramedic. Why bother to train as a doctor?"

I love the end of this article as well, "Why bother to train as a doctor?" In my case, it's just because of passion. However, I'm sure most of us become exhausted very soon when we start service at government hospital. Is there anything that we can do? Our politic leader? Our MMA leader? Silence...........
