Do dynastic doctors gain from having a parent in the same profession? Yes, a lot! Their income returns from medical school are 54% higher⬆️ than for other doctors.

These returns translate into a 23% increase⬆️ in income (15-20 years from application) with respect to the 'non persistent' population, but build up over time.

The substantial gains also come with large negative selection bias⬇️. In other words, people selecting into following their parents perform worse than their peers when they are pushed into different occupations.

It's almost job market time, so here's a reminder that your job market paper does not define who you are. It's only one part of your entire research agenda, a small footprint in your entire journey, and the only factor determining whether you'll be hired for the next 6 years.

The point is that usual arguments for the non monetary benefits of being self employed (being your own boss, working from where you want, etc) seem to break if for the same pay (and sometimes even for a pay cut) they'd rather be in salaried employment
