[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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

[b]And of course, some specialists will earn far more than that[/b].[/quote]

What's the upper and lower endpoints on that range there, champ?[/quote]

dp - some speciality doc can make 500k+[/quote]

My ex-H, an ortho surgeon specialist, makes well over $500,000 and did when he was in his early 40s. Doctors have to be more creative nowadays to make big money, but the opportunity is there if they want it.[/quote]

So the upper endpoint is always going to be people who do procedures, such as surgeries, especially if you get "more creative" in doing them. That makes the lower endpoint is much lower than the average as well. That's going to be your average general practice doctor, or pediatrician, or public health doctor.

I guess they aren't creative enough, PP? Or not willing to be, maybe?[/quote]
