I was a consultant in the HC industry and still opted for a buyout rather than a layoff.... but I'm ramping up my job search and it's starting to pickup... it is a hot industry. The HC industry - actually anything geared towards the senior set is the next great wave in our country... the demographics are simply too large to ignore! But back to topic... docs have a god complex and it makes giving them advice a challenge... I suppose that's a small price to pay in the larger scheme of things.

He refuses to market his financial consulting services to them, he said it is generally an exercise in futility. It sure would be great to be a doc. about right now though. All that job security must just me incredible.

My good friend is a financial planner and he hates working with docs because they all think they have it figured out. Of course most of them are so far in debt from school and the "entitlement purchases " (homes, cars, etc) that they don't know which way is up. I imagine athletes are the same way in many regards except many of them come with the added burden of their background and hangers-on. Appreciate the dialogue! Dave Agreed.

I think that part of their problem stems from pride, they assume that becuase they are world class at something, makes them world class at everything. I'm generalizing here, Bernie Kosar was a genius with his money, and there are other examples. Great sharing brother!
