That is all after the years of studying for same too.
They will also remain Junior Doctors for between 5 and 15 years too, that is hardly rapid advancement to specialist or Consultant level.
Many go on to do further specialist training in order to open up more doors to their future.
To claim they can become millionaires in a likely general sense is way off the realms of probability in my view.
None of my Cousins who have worked in the NHS for the last 3 to 8 years are anything like millionaires.
Actually I think they should be able to earn serious salaries anyway, why on earth should they not, they are saving peoples lives day in, day out, year after year for likely the whole of the rest of their working lives too.
In fact they should all be getting far better salaries than they actually do in my view anyway, for that fantastic work they do.

They do earn considerable amounts of money with incredible pensions too...The pension issue shouldnt be devalued ...these days youd need to spend £1 million pounds to earn a £50,000 pension per annum...These doctors get pensions in excess of £50,000 p/a
However to pay them more money where does that money come from?
well Id suggest 1) we abolish the GP contract of 2004 to get more GPs doing some out fo hours. This is in effect takes massive rpessure off all hospitals and all junior doctors, which would save the nhs a fortune , especially in extra staffing hours and overtime
now were out fo the bankrupt EU we will finally be allowed to recruit the 10,000s of nurses and doctors we need outside of europe. get recruiting. this will not only improve everything it will save the nhs billions in recruting tmeporary staff cover at double the rates
massively reduce the trusts and the trust members and staff. I have dealth with these dreadful people they add nothing to the nhs, they save nothing, they are not medically qualified they simply bleed money out of the nhs....reduce the salaries of the CEO's too.....Matrons are good they are on £81,000 thats a hefty salary. strengthen the obudsmen and the complaints procedures , this is far better than cover ups. the problems must be addressed honestly and openly or they are never fixed
pump more money into the front end. i.e in getting millions more people scanned far quicker with results in many cases the same day. this will save billions in the long run. billions saved in bed blocking, in taking excess medicataions, in seeing people get sicker....get people scanned quicker, get them diagnosed , treated and better...atm many multi million pound machines are simply not used...in my local one machine that finds kidney stones is used 3 hours a week?
a lot of this is common sense practice
