Medicine is a high stress job and environment, suicide and mental health issues are higher than national averages. The money is great but the mental price tends to be high. Not justifying anything but I guess I’d more more surprised if a construction worker or something did it.

Construction workers actually have massively outsized rates of suicide, way higher than most jobs. Their harsh and unsupportive work culture leads to a lot of repressed mental health issues.

I do understand the point you’re getting at though

I picked a blue collar job since most feel more fulfilled than white collar but of course I chose poorly
