College professors (aka Teachers), esp those of the adjunct variety.
Went to school with a few guys like this. Every time they have a point to make, they brag about how educated and intellectual they are. Of course a few years prior they were desperate for work, in debt $50k, and would take anything resembling a teaching gig that landed on their lap.

How is that poorly paid? The debt can be finished by the time they hit 30.

I do agree that doctors aren't that smart though.
Most ordinary GPs don't make 200. They make around 120ish. It's not great considering the opportunity cost. A CS or engineering undergrad makes about that fresh out at a serious tech company.

Neurosurgeons make around 650, but that is after a 7 year residency on top of med school and possibly further specialization for vascular, etc.

Most people don't even start med school until 26 I think.

Most docs aren't in 6 year programs, plus a lot of them have to take either research years prior to starting med school or during to be competitive for certain residencies. I agree though that it's still a safe way to hitting good money, which to me starts at $200K+. $200K is the new 6 figs (srs)

No way are docs making $120K. Maybe if they're in a crazy saturated market, but that's like newb dentist working for a chain in a major city type of money. I've done deals on hospitals and most GPs are clearing at least $215K. It maybe doesn't scale much from there, but there's a shortage of doctors in general. It's not like law where it's oversaturated and pushing wages down for everyone but the most elite lawyers.

I'm seeing all these reports saying 200k, but I distinctly remember a BLS thing saying 120. But that might have been several yrs ago. Maybe I'm wrong. It still isn't a great deal for the time spent.

You're definitely right about law. A lot of people with law degrees don't work as lawyers.

Actually a PhD is a real doctor. MD is a medical doctor.

military docs earn like 50-80, plus stipends of 50 or more. This allows them to not get taxed on the last half.

Competitive salaries for docs are higher than military. Most often, the nicer quality of life = lower salary since unpleasant places need to offer high salaries to attract physicians.

Job security for physicians is high, which is probably worth 200k+ per year in big tech terms where average tenure is like <5 y

Medicine is also not just a job. It really is a lifestyle.

Professors without a doubt. Every opinion they hold, even outside of their fields, they treat as gospel. It's also becomes an intellectual circle jerk when they get together and start talking politics

Most epidemiologists are just people who got biology degrees but couldn’t get into medical school, so they work at the health department. Essentially they spend all their time in excel no different than accountants.

I don't know about them being overblown, but teachers and nurses definitely have the biggest martyr complexes of all the professions.

200k isn't good when you're working 80 hours a week. Most hospital have mandatory overtime and you hardly get any days off.

I don't think I'd put nurses on the list. Most tend to be good people doing a job that can really suck. The best nurse I've seen helped my wife (who's a nurse) give birth. The nurses who helped my mom when she was dying from cancer were awesome as well.
