If that's your attitude, then we might as well throw up our hands and fork over however much money is demanded of us. This is the crux of the supply bottleneck. This training regime is by far the most laborious of any profession. Getting a Ph.D. is much easier (and yes, TAs do get paid). There's no law of nature that requires this process.

There are market mechanisms that you can insert into the process that could circumvent this. Flooding the market with physician's assistants could be a start.

In any event, I think you were paid more in your starting job per hour. Residents get paid about minimum wage and the working conditions are harsh.
