[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taken as a whole, physicians still have the highest salaries of any profession: Median income for attorneys: $123K Median income for software engineers: $108K Median income for physicians: $208K And of course, some specialists will earn far more than that.[/quote] You have to take into account opportunity cost. Residency is low pay at 50-60k for around 7 years after 4 years of medical school which is 60-100k a year depending on where. It’s better to be at engineer and make 100k throughout your 20s. Also, Physician Assistant is great - only 2 years no residency and make anywhere between 100-200 k [/quote]
