[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who want to do pediatrics but the money is a turn off or a non starter in the case of those with a few hundred k in debt, would they not just do neonatology? Wouldn't that be a high paid specialty that still gets you around kids and away from adults? Or is it somehow not high paid? I mean are there tons of people who WANT to dedicate the next 40 yrs of their lives to ear infections and having to make small talk with 4 year olds??[/quote] Neonatology is not particularly highly-paid. Better paid than a well-child pediatrician, but not particularly lucrative relative to the stress and training. And it means signing up to a career of seeing very sick newborns, many of whom will likely live with a lifetime of medical issues. The upside is that helping these patients is highly rewarding emotionally, but it's also very emotionally draining.[/quote]
