There's two ways to build wealth over time. One way is to earn a high income and save a significant percent of that income. The second way, which is not mutually exclusive of the first, is to own an asset, an appreciating asset to have equity in a business that becomes more valuable over time. Physicians are uniquely positioned to at times take advantage of these two prongs at the same time, but they frequently don't realize it.

Kyle is connected to many health systems, hospitals, and private practices with regards to their employment needs, today we're doing a deep dive on some of the things impacting jobs for anesthesiologists. Covid has been a huge factor, I've heard of a few docs that have had job offers rescinded, many who have been furloughed, and others who haven't been able to find jobs. I think in the long run you should be optimistic about your employability, although we're certainly in some short term weirdness. It's also not a bad idea to think about doing locums for a little bit while you're waiting, if you're willing to work some tough shifts you can make a whole year's worth of salary in just a few months.
