Would I be incorrect in assuming that the MCSE who used to work at a lumber 
yard now earns substantially more than when they were employed at said lumber 
yard?

Having worked for a private practice healthcare organization for the last 12 
years, and having performed a payroll conversion in this organization, I also 
happen to have been privy to some of the physician salaries during that time. 
While what I make is nothing to sneeze at, physicians make more - even first 
year non-shareholder general practice physicians right out of residency make 
more (here anyway) than I do. Let's not even talk about specialists.

While I know that money certainly isn't everything, it is a motivating factor 
much of the time. Like I said, I'm just curious what would motivate someone who 
spent at least 8 years (and who knows how much $) on higher education and 
residency rotations to make the transition from the healthcare world to the IT 
world - after obtaining the credentials as an MD. Certainly there is nothing 
wrong with that in the least. I'm simply curious. Everyone has a story, and 
this one (to me at least) seems like it might be more interesting than average.

Would I be incorrect in assuming that the MCSE who used to work at a
lumber yard now earns substantially more than when they were employed at
said lumber yard?

 

Having worked for a private practice healthcare organization for the
last 12 years, and having performed a payroll conversion in this
organization, I also happen to have been privy to some of the physician
salaries during that time. While what I make is nothing to sneeze at,
physicians make more - even first year non-shareholder general practice
physicians right out of residency make more (here anyway) than I do.
Let's not even talk about specialists.

 

While I know that money certainly isn't everything, it is a motivating
factor much of the time. Like I said, I'm just curious what would
motivate someone who spent at least 8 years (and who knows how much $)
on higher education and residency rotations to make the transition from
the healthcare world to the IT world - after obtaining the credentials
as an MD. Certainly there is nothing wrong with that in the least. I'm
simply curious. Everyone has a story, and this one (to me at least)
seems like it might be more interesting than average.

RE: OT question (was RE: AD and firewall ports)

2011-01-06 Thread Thomas W Shinder MD
Hi Jonathan,

While in general what MDs make is a lot higher than those in IT - averages 
don't tell the entire story. IT has been very good to me and my wife and I 
suspect that I'm better of financially than I would have been had I stayed in 
neurology. In addition, I don't have the overhead that I would have had - I 
work from my home office, don't spend money on clothes (as those of you have 
met me at TechEd or other conferences can attest to), don't have malpractice to 
worry about, and don't spend more than $40/mo for gas :)

But regardless of pay, I do pretty good and I *love* my work. I look forward to 
new challenges every day - and since I've joined MSFT life is even more 
interesting and fun - new problems to solve everyday, working with MSFT 
customers every day, and trying out new approaches on a regular basis. When I 
was practicing medicine (I left in the mid 1990s) I saw the writing on the wall 
and realized that I was young enough to get out without much damage. The early 
years were hard, but with a plan, hard work, and dedication to something I 
really loved doing, things turned out better than I could have ever imagined.

That's the short course :)

Tom

Firewall guys are somewhat unclear regarding the relationship of ports and 
their implication in a security context.

Often the easiest way to get around these guys is to use IPsec between the DMZ 
host and any other host on the intranet. Then you only need to allow UDP port 
500. That makes the firewall guy happy and allows all protocols through the 
IPsec tunnel.

Need assistance with firewall ports and active directory our server admin 
submitted a change request to open over 1000 port to support AD. The change was 
denied and resubmitted requesting a minimum of 100 ports to support RPC 
communications to a member server within our DMZ. Our firewall engineers stated 
while monitoring the firewall only 20 ports were communicated over and 100 
ports are not needed.

Has anyone had experience with this issue and can provide some clarity…are the 
server admin looking for an easy way out by requesting all these ports?

Dr. Tom,

So many people lead quiet lives of desperation, never achieving contentment, 
happiness, or joy. It seems you have obtained all three, and that is remarkable.

As for expenses, I certainly understand what you are saying. Between Medicare 
reimbursement decreasing (and the larger payors following suit), malpractice 
increasing, and overhead in general (not to mention stress levels) I could 
understand the idea that practicing medicine isn't what one would have hoped.

Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad you've found your passion.

Hi Jonathan,

While in general what MDs make is a lot higher than those in IT - averages 
don't tell the entire story. IT has been very good to me and my wife and I 
suspect that I'm better of financially than I would have been had I stayed in 
neurology. In addition, I don't have the overhead that I would have had - I 
work from my home office, don't spend money on clothes (as those of you have 
met me at TechEd or other conferences can attest to), don't have malpractice to 
worry about, and don't spend more than $40/mo for gas :)

But regardless of pay, I do pretty good and I *love* my work. I look forward to 
new challenges every day - and since I've joined MSFT life is even more 
interesting and fun - new problems to solve everyday, working with MSFT 
customers every day, and trying out new approaches on a regular basis. When I 
was practicing medicine (I left in the mid 1990s) I saw the writing on the wall 
and realized that I was young enough to get out without much damage. The early 
years were hard, but with a plan, hard work, and dedication to something I 
really loved doing, things turned out better than I could have ever imagined.

That's the short course :)

new challenges every day - and since I've joined MSFT life is even more 
interesting and fun - new problems to solve everyday, working with MSFT 
customers every day, and trying out new approaches on a regular basis. When I 
was practicing medicine (I left in the mid 1990s) I saw the writing on the wall 
and realized that I was young enough to get out without much damage. The early 
years were hard, but with a plan, hard work, and dedication to something I 
really loved doing, things turned out better than I could have ever imagined.

That's the short course :)

Subject: RE: OT question (was RE: AD and firewall ports)

Would I be incorrect in assuming that the MCSE who used to work at a lumber 
yard now earns substantially more than when they were employed at said lumber 
yard?

Having worked for a private practice healthcare organization for the last 12 
years, and having performed a payroll conversion in this organization, I also 
happen to have been privy to some of the physician salaries during that time. 
While what I make is nothing to sneeze at, physicians make more - even first 
year non-shareholder general practice physicians right out of residency make 
more (here anyway) than I do. Let's not even talk about specialists.

While I know that money certainly isn't everything, it is a motivating factor 
much of the time. Like I said, I'm just curious what would motivate someone who 
spent at least 8 years (and who knows how much $) on higher education and 
residency rotations to make the transition from the healthcare world to the IT 
world - after obtaining the credentials as an MD. Certainly there is nothing 
wrong with that in the least. I'm simply curious. Everyone has a story, and 
this one (to me at least) seems like it might be more interesting than average.

Firewall guys are somewhat unclear regarding the relationship of ports and 
their implication in a security context.

Often the easiest way to get around these guys is to use IPsec between the DMZ 
host and any other host on the intranet. Then you only need to allow UDP port 
500. That makes the firewall guy happy and allows all protocols through the 
IPsec tunnel.

Ironically, 10 years ago, the new guy on my team's previous job was at a
lumber yard and he took a pay cut to get into IT (desktop support, entry
level).  He's making more now and enjoys his job now so it was a 'right'
choice at the time but still, he did take that inital pay cut.
