Can A Neurosurgeon Afford A 125k Lamborghini Gallardo?
Can a Neurosurgeon afford a 125k Lamborghini Gallardo? I'm planning to go to medical school this year after I graduate, after I have, let's say 20% of all my debt payed off. Could I afford a 125k Lamborghini Gallardo? Nerusurgeon's make on average 599k per year also. 200,000 if you go by statistics. 1 third of your annual income should be spent on a vehicle. LP-560 based on the older gallardo. 599k. If all you're worried about is buying an expensive car in how you choose your profession, then you need to find a different line of work. If you think you'll make that much right out of medical school, you're delusional. You'll be living in a studio apartment the first 10 years, struggling to make your rent payments and buy food with what you have left over from your paychecks after paying your student loans. Plus there's no guarantee that you'll ever be a neurosurgeon.
Just because that pays a lot and would allow you to buy an unreliable high priced POS like a Lamborghini doesn't mean you will actually cut it as one. If you have to ask the same question 3 times in 2 days, you'll never be able to afford it.|||The money is not guaranteed, and the outlook for doctors of every sort is hazy. Malpractice premiums have already driven some doctors out of business - my daughter's OB from her last child has stopped doing deliveries. If we end up with nationalized health care the future is even dimmer. The former Soviet Union used to brag about how most of their doctors were women, but they made less than a nurse's aide did in the US.|||You need to get into medical school first. Straight A's and a superior score on the MCAT is not going to guarantee entry. Also, with 20% debt paid off, I am assuming these are you medical school loans? Where do you plan on practicing?
With his newly created Tesla coils, the inventor soon discovered that he could transmit and receive powerful radio signals when they were tuned to resonate at the same frequency. When a coil is tuned to a signal of a particular frequency, it literally magnifies the incoming electrical energy through resonant action. But in that same year, disaster struck. A building fire consumed Tesla's lab, destroying his work. The timing could not have been worse. In England, a young Italian experimenter named Guglielmo Marconi had been hard at work building a device for wireless telegraphy. Tesla filed his own basic radio patent applications in 1897. They were granted in 1900. Marconi's first patent application in America, filed on November 10, 1900, was turned down. Marconi's revised applications over the next three years were repeatedly rejected because of the priority of Tesla and other inventors. But no patent is truly safe, as Tesla's career demonstrates.
In 1900, the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company, Ltd. 聴due primarily to Marconi's family connections with English aristocracy. 22 per share and the glamorous young Italian nobleman was internationally acclaimed. Both Edison and Andrew Carnegie invested in Marconi and Edison became a consulting engineer of American Marconi. Then, on December 12, 1901, Marconi for the first time transmitted and received signals across the Atlantic Ocean. But Tesla's calm confidence was shattered in 1904, when the U.S. Patent Office suddenly and surprisingly reversed its previous decisions and gave Marconi a patent for the invention of radio. The reasons for this have never been fully explained, but the powerful financial backing for Marconi in the United States suggests one possible explanation. Tesla was embroiled in other problems at the time, but when Marconi won the Nobel Prize in 1911, Tesla was furious. He sued the Marconi Company for infringement in 1915, but was in no financial condition to litigate a case against a major corporation. It wasn't until 1943聴a few months after Tesla's death聴 that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Tesla's radio patent number 645,576. The Court had a selfish reason for doing so. The Marconi Company was suing the United States Government for use of its patents in World War I. The Court simply avoided the action by restoring the priority of Tesla's patent over Marconi.
