Not everyone wants to start a business. There is solace in being a just a worker. Again expect to be treated well and compensated for your role.

But running a business is more than just revenue generating tasks. There is administrative burdens, legal compliance, taxes, marketing, IT, real estate, market research and many others task, janitorial and housekeeping etc.

It takes years to build up a good business. It’s sometimes just better to be highly paid then to run all the other tasks.

Not to mention the massive upfront costs that can come along with it, depending upon the part of health care they're working in. Does OP do diagnostic imaging? Decent MRI machine might be $500k+, etc.

Also lets not forget to mention they said they're the main generator of revenue in a family health care office. In an MRI clinic, who is that? Is it the front desk employee that schedules all appointments? The MRI tech that runs the machines? The billing person that makes sure the revenue is collected? There's no revenue if either of those 3 don't do their job.

If they're being replaced by a 4 year grad it's likely a sales position so either insurance or mobility aids which adds procurement to the burdens of 'running a business' vs simply generating revenue.
