The canadian government has wage controls for medical doctors. to keep things simple, let's assume that they set one wage for all doctors: $100,000 per year. it takes about 6 years to become a general practitioner or a pediatrician, but it takes about 8 or 9 years to become a specialist like a gynecologist, surgeon, or ophthalmologist. what kind of doctor would you want to become under this system? (note: the actual canadian system does allow a specialist to earn a bit more than general practitioners, but the difference isn't big enough to matter.)
a. surgeon.
b. pediatrician.
