Okay, maybe I could have phrased that better. They may or may not be more intelligent. But generally speaking, someone who goes into anything to do with the medical field, has a better chance of expanding their financial expectations. And it's never a waste of time to learn more things.

Medical billing clerks make more than burger flippers. The total median compensation for a fast food cook is $31K and $51K for a medical billing clerk.

Fast food:

The Medical Billing lobby probably paid them off.

Not really. If I took the time to learn what I need to make more money, than I am motivated.
