Agree. At this point, the only hope is that they will reorient as the money dries up. For now they have been able to sustain themselves with international tuition, but that trend is rapidly reversing as evidence keeps being uncovered that they actively discriminate against the very students they are fleecing.
Each college has like 10 diversity officers all of whom get paid 6 figure salaries min, with some getting 7 figures. not to mention all the title IX officers whose job it is to terrorize and expel and ruin the lives of men.
Universities were once magnificent places of discovery and inquiry. But then we had feminists take over and then came the woke and it is all going down the drain.
No wonder so many talented neurosurgeons are leaving academia for private practice or leaving the field all together, such as the UTSW guy. In the old days you'd stay in academia for the freedom and ability to do something meaningful. No longer.
It is so sad to see this. People talk about the slowing pace of scientific advancement, maybe that is because the university is driving its best and brightest out.
Could not agree more. Have been in academia for quite a while at this point, and the institutions are clearly straining under the burden you have described. Have yet to see a diversity officer ever contribute anything useful, but they are all hired for skin color and genitals not competence, so it's hardly surprising. Can't imagine we will remain competitive with entities that haven't subscribed to this ideology. If my future weren't intimately tied to this system, it would be fun to sit back and watch the slow motion train wreck.
Also, 5/5 stars for trying to steer this back to the original topic.

Holy shit, it’s like hearing a senile grandpa rant while trying to find his pointy white hat. Universities weren’t ever that, and professors only mattered if they brought in funding, not if they impacted their field. Academia has productivity goals, you just get paid worse.
LMAO
Are they not filling the spot?
They already did, sorry mate
Going back to OP, Neurosurgery is easy. It is low IQ. Medicine is just memorization. All the real thinking is done by PhD, but MD's take all the credit, and it apparently goes to their heads. Neurosurgery is just practice and practice and any fool can get good at it. Doctors limit the # of doctors, so that salaries remain high. They purposefully make sure that their is a shortage to keep salaries high--even though it means that patients are suffering. This should tell you a lot.
McKinsey consultants do real thinking. They have to compete and offer quality work for the money--unlike doctors who are protected by laws and limited competition (doctors essentially rob patients who have no other choice). They work on real problems and have to actually use their brain. A McKinsey consultant has to have a high IQ and has to be able to see the big picture, think creatively, as questions, offer solutions. They can't just pop open a book (or nowadays, an app) to get the solution. And if they don't offer quality work, they are out.
So it makes sense that the "best and brightest" don't go into medicine, which is corrupt and only involves rote memorization.

No, I'm the person of interest and I'm not idiotic enough to make claims like this. There is a lot of value in both professions. Neurosurgery and my program weren't a great fit for me so I decided to go my separate way. Let's leave it at that.
Out of curiosity, why did the person of interest leave medicine all together? Like why didn't they consider IM, EM, etc?

Personally, rather do consulting than IM/EM
