True enough. When I was living in Taiwan I thought that doctors were very well off and proud of it, but in Germany I discovered that they are government employees who earn about the same as schoolteachers. Even doctors who have their own private practice aren't much better off.
這點倒是不假，過去在台灣人的觀念中，醫生屬於傲人的超高收入者，來德國以後發現他們只是和學校老師差不多的公務員薪水階級，連開私人診所的也好不到哪裡去。
