How to choose between the two iron rice bowls of doctors and teachers? After reading the 3-point comparison, make a decision
- Different study period requirements
To study medicine, the academic requirements for students are particularly high. Undergraduate graduation is far from enough. Postgraduate education seems to have become a necessary qualification for medical practitioners. If students want to enter the top three hospitals, a doctoral degree is also necessary. Therefore, it takes a long time and money to cultivate an excellent doctor. If students want to become an excellent doctor, it is best to have a higher education. Regarding the qualifications of teachers, different positions have different requirements. Secondary school teachers can take the exam after graduating from an undergraduate degree, but the degree of competitiveness is still quite large. If you want to become a teacher in a university, students must at least graduate with a master’s degree. The higher the school level, the higher the requirements for students’ academic qualifications.
- Different working pressures
Both doctors and teachers have work stress, but the magnitude and source of the stress are different. Doctors with relatively high ability have always been scarce talents, so doctors in major hospitals are very busy, and overtime is common. In addition to hard work, doctors also face threats to their lives. The "doctor-patient problem" has been a worrying problem for a long time, and many doctors have died at the hands of patients' families. In contrast, the problems encountered by teachers are much smaller. Middle school teachers are more difficult, and they have to pay a lot of energy to students because they are related to the students' progress to higher education. The focus of university teachers is not on students, and students encounter few problems, but university teachers have very heavy scientific research tasks, and the pressure of scientific research is relatively high.
Three, different salary
Although they are both iron jobs and very honorable professions, the salary difference between doctors and teachers is still quite large. Doctors usually have one or two days off a month, and usually arrange night shifts, and the wages are relatively high. Teachers have many vacations, commute to and from get off work is normal, and their wages are dead wages, not as high as doctors' wages. Teachers will lose if it is compared to the total amount of wages, but if it is compared to the wage per unit time, it is impossible to determine who wins and who loses.
