If you think about this for a minute and compair the two jobs, you may see that the mechanic may actually have a tougher and harder job than most doctors.
First off, the human body is only made in two models, male and female! Though there are different sizes and ages that play a factor in their treatment, basicly the internal organs are all the same and don't change when a new baby comes along. Granted there are always new technics and drugs for treatment that come about and new diseases that pop up, not all doctors will learn all of these as only specialists will come along to learn and use some them.
Now look at all the automobiles coming off the rack each and every year. Consider all the manufacturers and all the models of vehicles they produce. Then throw in all the different engine sizes and transmission options and even body options and everything is different and nothing is interchangable, none of them have the same readings when testing and diagnosing. Every year they produce new models with something more complex and difficult to diagnose and work on! So when you bring your car into the mechanic, he now has to go online and learn how to diagnose and fix your car. Basic mechanic skills that were learned years ago that would allow a mechanic to fix almost any car, do not come into play now. Granted they help and without them they would not even know where to start, they really only aid in physically identifing and changing the defective parts.
Every time a patient goes to see the doctor, the doctor relies on his knowledge and experience to treat the patient. When a person brings in their devective vehicle, the mechanic is faced with a literal nightmare of wires and components that he has to stop and learn how to fix on the spot!
Who do you think should be paid more?
