Job Difference

A Lexus mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor

of a LS460 when he spotted a well known cardiologist in his workshop.

The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come

and take a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the garage,

"Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?"

The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic

was working.


The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked,

"So Doctor, look at this engine. I opened its heart, took the valves out,

repaired or replaced anything damaged,

and then put everything back in, and when I finished, it worked just like new.

So how is it that I make $30,000 a year and you make $500,000

when you and I are doing basically the same work?"


The cardiologist paused, leaned over, and then whispered to the mechanic.....

"Try doing it with the engine running."
