I’m an attending Radiation Oncologist and can say that it can be on this list. Average salary is a little over $400,000 and average work week is around 45 hours (often closer to 40). It’s an oft neglected specialty but the lifestyle is second to none, call is quite laid back with very rare emergent treatments, and just rewarding patient interactions in general.
Not interested in Rad Onc myself, more uro, but my close friend was on the Rad onc route before he heard rumors about the job market Outlook. Can you speak to that as the others mentioned?
I’ve heard about the bad job market as well. As the need for Rad Onc is limited thus you can’t choose where to practice. Very few job openings. Please comment if this is truth or rumor.
Neurosurgeons are usually the ones who have the highest salary, but for all the work and how much they sacrifice, they should also be at the top of hourly rate. Great video
Very helpful for future Doctors. Its important that people take number of hours worked into consideration when choosing their future career. Lifestyle is important too!
Very important for future doctors there are no residencies. After all the gruesome years painstaking passing all my board exams and getting an MD. Left with 640k student loans working as a waitress, the job I did before medical school. People need to know it is not guaranteed because there is barely any spots! Don't bother going to med school it ain't guarenteed!
@@D1AZ graduated 2014 it's 2021 and no residency. I'm 41 with debt no career now and no kids because I put my career aspirations first. Yeah, the medical system should be illegal. It really is disgusting how unfair it is. I feel bad for anyone that thinks it's guaranteed. I only guarenteed to pass my boards and graduate. But no doors opened neither for many of my friends that went on this painstaking journey! Your youth completely robbed for absolutely nothing in the end!
Heads up anesthesiologists make between $150-$350 per hour depending on locale. Independent of number of hours worked per week. I, for example, work just 30 hours per week. Pretty sweet gig 😍👍🏻 I would be happy to be your anesthesiologist to refer to when researching future videos to make. Reach out anytime!
We went based on Medscape for salary and AAMC reported data for hours worked per week for consistency and reducing bias. Anesthesiology was not in the top 6 from this dataset.
I chose psychiatry and spent my career primarily in public sector (federal, state) inpatient settings. I often had no call responsibility, salary (excluding benefits) of $185/hour, a set 40 hour work week, good work life balance -- and easily able to do it into my 70's if I so chose (retired @ 67). Many of my higher paid surgical specialists and especially ER docs were burned out or saw skills slowly erode (aging knows no bounds!) by their 50s. I've never seen any starving docs in the US -- pursue what you enjoy, you'll make more than enough to live well.
@@businessoffice4964 Was no scheme. We had to work hard with minimal supports, heavy patient loads. I do think we need national health in the US so that a LOT of healthcare dollars aren't going to SUBSTANTIAL overhead, CEO's and C-Suite overhead (health systems, insurance companies, big pharma),
It should be obvious, but a point I’d like to make for med students is that these numbers are quite variable, and it’s possible to engineer the job/lifestyle you want if you’re intentional about it. I’m a cardiologist, and I work about 40-41 hours per wk max. We have 5 partners in our group, and we worked out our schedule such that each of us gets 1 day per wk off. In other words, I only work 4 days per wk. These jobs are out there if you know what you want and work hard to make it happen.
I have never been able to ask this to a doctor, and im worried since im almost about to go to university in 2 years. it would be great if you could answer! so about med school, did you need to have a good memorizing power? i have an awful memory but i still want to be a dermatologist (inspired by my hives, which the general physician misdiagnosed as eczema bc he wasnt cooperative at all). everyone tells me i have a good brain but im worried if my bad memory would be an obstacle?
@@yesmaam3399 there is a lot of memorization, but there are techniques that can really help with it. Rote memorization is really hard for me also, but comprehension is easy. I find that, rather than trying to memorize a list, getting to know and understand that list makes it waaaay easier to remember -- and you'll need that information later anyway. That and flashcards has really helped me. I recommend looking into the science of memory and memory techniques that'll help you out. Personally, I'm big on (really silly) mnemonics.
ER DOCTOR HERE !!!!! Amazing video, thank you for this, some young future Med people out there need to hear this. I love EM and it goes with what I like. My best friend left Dermatology for Anesthesia ! Again make sure you really do what you like. All doctors make money. I can assure you that happiness is not exponential the more money does NOT necessarily mean more happiness. Stay Safe all !!!! 🚑👍🙌
Great video! Also remember these salaries are pre-tax, physician salaries are highly variable depending on details of practice setting and geography, opportunity costs of additional years of training are larger than trainees may realize, and one can always make more money with smart financial choices and investing. At the end of the day, you're right, salary is important but it shouldn't be the main factor in choosing a specialty!
58 hrs per week? Jesus, do people in the US have a live outside their job? In Italy (and I can safely guess the rest of the EU) it would be already frowned upon working anything more than 40. And we are paid extra, above that threshold. Otherwise nobody would do it.
Neurosurgery isn’t included in a lot of lists like this because there aren’t a lot of neurosurgeons in the country. Data for them can be hard to find. Medscapes annual physician compensation report, for example, has never included neurosurgeons. I highly doubt neurosurgery wouldn’t be on the list if it were included. Of the lists I found that actually included neurosurgery, it was always top 3. It was #1 on beckers hospital review at $398 per hour. Orthopedic surgery came in 2nd at $300
@@hueyfreeman5145 there are only like 3,000 something neurosurgeons in the country which is insane. Not surprising that it's hard to find data on them. They make it incredibly hard and long to become a neurosurgeon, not to mention the lifestyle once you are one is insanely stressful
Several things: this is a great vid because no one breaks down specialities like this for premed and Med students. A lot of these things are important to consider when deciding on a specialty although doing what you enjoy is the most important. I didn’t realize Dermatology was the most competitive (I thought it was one of). Either way following specific steps will allow a student to match into whatever field they want and they shouldn’t be discouraged by competitiveness!
There is a shortage of Pediatricians in the western USA now. Pay is finally improving due to the mismatch between supply and demand. My employer pays 310K if you are willing to be on call every 4th week. It is a lot of work. Without the on call I probably work 60 hours a week including charting at home. I do get 7 weeks of paid time off every year. The rewards are great. Pediatricians have low suicide rates and usually work well into their 70's because they love their jobs. The long term relationships with families are priceless. Not all career decisions should be made strictly on salary.
This doesn’t take into account vacation jobs. Almost every radiology private practice job where 58 hours is standard is giving anywhere from 8-16 weeks vacation yet your calculation factored in a standard 2 week vacation across the board. Using the Medscape salary data given here (which is about 100k low compared to MGMA for a pp radiologist working almost 60 hours), that would equal to 178 dollars an hour rather than 142 if given a 12 week vacation.
Heads up. EM physicians easily make $200-250/hr (and even more in remote location) after a 3 year residency. Most full time EM jobs are only 30 hours a week. Most Em physicians do work an additional PRN job though.
There isn't much information on neurosurgery and I can assure you they make a shitload of money relative to their hourly rate. For instance, an attending neurosurgeon could be working 50-60 hours per week while earning $300 to $400 an hour. It's that the data isn't concrete and is quite limited; that's why neurosurgery wasn't included.
Yeah it’s super variable honestly. Location, experience, who you know. A friend of mines dad is an anesthesiologist and he makes 1.5mil a year in California. But he told me he would make half that in another state.

In my country it is different. For employees (regardless of the number of hours): - hand surgery - radiologist - gastroenterology All three earn about 350'000$ on average - angiology - intensive care - orthopedic surgeon - neuro surgeon -urologists Earn on average between $270,000 and $320,000 In the private sector, however, it is different
I thought about med school but it was way too long for what I wanted out of a career so I chose the CRNA route, I have no regrets, as I was able to make a great living still in my 20’s, and best of all, outside of the OR we’re invisible, I’ve never been bothered by a nurse or doc as some complain about “bullying” at work. Being able to practice independently has been the main reason I took this pathway. I’ve been trying to get my brother to go the same route but he’s made up his mind & wants to be an anesthesiologist 😂 All I can say is good luck 👍 I hope he’s got a 15 year life plan drummed up.
Working 60 hours per week is a tough, I understand the compensation is amazing, but I’d be very curious to see the burnout and job satisfaction with these higher hours per week. Especially because it isn’t 60 easy hours, it’s grinding physically and mentally for all 60 of those hours. Many PAs I know tend to be much happier with their lives than most of their physician counterparts. Having said that, I am seriously grateful for all that physicians do, they sacrifice a lot of their time to do excellent work. I wish their was a solid solution to decrease burnout. Again, thank you docs for all you do!
It is well documented that the rates of suicide, burnout, failed marriages and drug abuse (alcohol) are higher in the following comparisons: 1. relatively higher-paid (eg neurosurgeon) vs low-paid (eg. urologist). 2. surgery vs medical. Medscape does an annual review looking at these factors.
I work in hospital and healthcare revenue and I can tell you its three most lucrative specialties are as follows, Cardiology, Medical imaging, then Respiratory.
I’ve worked with different specialized surgeons for 14 years. I’ve seen a lot of insurance billing & bullshit. I started in Cosmetic Dermatology & that’s where the real money is. Regular working hours & tons of perks! I also worked for Vascular, Endocrine, Colorectal & general surgeons. What folks don’t understand is that, if you need surgery, your surgeon is the least paid. The hospital or surgery center is typically 2-3 times more expensive than the surgeons. And anesthesiologists make the most.
I went into IT. No graduate work needed, you can start at a high paying, 40 hr a week job at age 22. By age 35, you'll be in the six figures for income. IT managers make 150-200k.

With the current problem around the world today I think it's best everyone invest more in digital asset than Saving in banks and real estate. Just my thoughts
Yeah , I think the importance of investment is highly undermined and overlooked which is probably one of the biggest problem we face today. To me investment strategies should be taught in schools
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn which I myself took advantage of. I made my first million from going diverse, mainly ETFs(stocks, bonds etc), bitcoin , and gold. I'm also working on an investment plan that includes NFTs with my advisor, Katie . It's been a year and half of steady growth.
Speaking of digital assets do you mean bitcoin?! I don't think investing in bitcoin now is a good idea, I'm currently running on huge loss the market is crashing
@@wanglei7182 this is more reason you should invest with an expert, even with the fall in price I make good profits weekly from my investment in bitcoin. Last week I got a profit of $56,000
I mean it’s good, but factor in the $300,000+ debt from med school before interest along with 8 years of missed income potential (4 years college and 4 years med school) plus essentially making minimum wage as a resident after that for 3-7 years. Don’t get me wrong it is still a good salary, but it’s not the same as people in other fields making that much
@@Biruk006 that’s prior to interest which you can’t pay on in residency for 4+ years after graduating so tack on all that time plus another like hundred grand. But yes I believe the goal is usually about 10 years after graduating
@@Biruk006 and it’s also more than just the debt it’s all the years of missed income opportunity, missing out on compounding interest on investing etc that you have to catch up on
@@richardouellette4041 Yeah, someone did the math and doctors make less per hour over their career than high school teachers because of that. Heck the mechanic in town charges $150/hr and they don't even need a college degree.
I’m a MS3 student interested in anesthesiology and so being around them i have naturally asked their pay and it’s amazing. They work 15 days of the month and have 15 days off and make $500,000. And this wasn’t just a special case, this is the vast majority of them. True some have had 1 or 2 fellowships to make them stand out but still, i think hourly that has to count towards something if they are off 15 days a month and still make that much money 😅
As an MS3 you should know a bit better lol this is just objectively untrue. You can hit 500k outside of major metro areas in gas but you’ll be pushing 60-70 hrs a week
Attending psychiatrist in New Mexico. Now seeing locums up to $300/hr. Currently make $178 an hour with a 42 hour work week with internal call @ up to $225/hr. We had an attending here a few years ago who was doing a ton of call making north of $500k per year. Physician comp. is so variable!
@@FacundoMD Lmao many of us do medicine for the money and there's nothing wrong with it. It's a job at the end of the day. People like you who are satisfied with lower compensation are the enemies to our profession.
EM full time is 36 hrs a week. If you’re working 46 hrs, you’ll be making a whole lot more $$$. And, as an EM doc, you get to practice the full spectrum of disease based medicine…no preventive care for EM. Every day is a whole new set of diseases to diagnose and treat. EM is awesome. :-)
I love watching these videos, they can be, to me, very educational with lots of interesting things in them. When watching this one though I was actually kind of hoping to see something on neurosurgery as well, which is the field of interest for me. Not saying I didn't enjoy the video, I liked watching it, but maybe you could also do one for Neurosurgery later on?
Dang, my TC in SWE is almost the same as these salaries. Not 500k, but still. But like you said, money ain't everything and tech is a rat race which I don't want to be a part of anymore.
Tell us more? It seems now days the most sought after careers are in tech and medicine for their high salary and decent work life balance (compared to something like investment banking or finance)
@@KhaosVFX Yup, people are waking up to it especially with social media glorifying these careers. I'm not gona sit here and cap. I'm currently at FAANG and the compensation is really good as a new grad SWE. But that's just it, it's extremely hard to break into FAANG and most SWE's are usually starting out at around 80k base. Plus you need to be constantly performing so you get your annual bonus and progress up the org ladder. If you aren't then you basically get laid off since demand is high. I really don't think it's sustainable long term because you'll get older, have a family, etc so you can't always be on the grind. People who say tech jobs are "cush" don't know what they are talking about. It's hard work. It's kind of why I'm switching out to go to med school. As the saying goes, "An old doctor is a wise doctor, and old engineer is just outdated". Finance is another career path that a lot of people can pivot into, I think the biggest part of why people don't go that route is because usually to make it big (ex: Goldman Sachs, Janestreet, McKinsey) you usually have to come from the ivy league or Stanford. I have a couple of friends who are in that field and the work life balance isn't too bad. Coming back to medicine, it's very front loaded since you have to go through so much schooling, but the returns are really high and sustainable.
@@vans4lyf2013 TC is around 300k after just over 1.5 years. Started off as a new grad at around 260k. Didn't go to a top school anything. Went to a state school - not flagship. Did a lot of networking, interview prep, and praying and it paid off. My parents are doctors, so I've grown up around the whole med culture. So I get what you're saying, but I think I've carefully vetted this path and from personally weighing the pros and cons, I decided to pursue medicine. Who knows, maybe I'll go back to tech, but it would be as a hybrid researcher role or something. Just curious, why are you trying to transition into tech?
So doctors in India are living in poverty then🤷♀️..dude our country really need to give attention to doctors. And bring some regulations to protect them tooo.
This video is sleeping on Diagnostic radiology, average mgma salary is 500k, average hours worked is about 45. With 10-14 weeks of vacation a year. Call is typically telerads nowadays so shifts are not too bad. Charting doesn’t exist for us, and minimal paperwork is involved.
These salaries are based off reported values. Most rads (and other specialists I know) under report for obvious reasons, particularly those of us not living in big cities. Let's keep the values for our specialty in the "dark," if you will 😉.
@@aguyfromnothere If you work in medical it is most likely going to be stressful. Imo at least you're saving lives. That would be a job worth doing despite the stress as long as you don't get burnt out.
My mom is a neonatal surgeon and she makes over $700,000 a year so they should’ve been on this list. It might be because of the location though and cause she also a board certified OB-GYN.
In India, many junior residents (especially in surgical fields) are overworked (sometimes 3 days in a row) and underpaid (that too late)...on top of all this, the general public and law makers don't care about us..... Quacks and AYUSH practitioners trying to be like us via 'bridge course' , as if all the hardwork put in by MBBS undergraduates for 5 years are of no value. Maybe these quacks don't believe in what they are taught. They (along with many politicians) are at constant war against evidence based modern medicine (they use the term 'allopathy' or 'english medicine') claiming it to be something foreign with lot of side effects and not meant for true countrymen. In the name of culture, tradition, religion, patriotism, they hold these quacks and Yogis as godmen while looking down upon modern medicine that has kept the human race from being eradicated by pandemics... Society is cruel to doctors in India...
@@akanti7454 every thing under the sun has side effects. Water gives and sustains life, so it must be a good thing, right?. If you consume excess than the required daily amount, you will have electrolyte imbalance and end up with cerebral edema, which can be fatal. Also water is good in the stomach, not in the lungs,such as in drowning, because it's deadly. Oxygen is essential for all aerobic organisms ( humans, plants, animals) and it forms ozone that protects our atmosphere, so it might be a very good thing right?. If you breath in 100% oxygen for extended periods of time, the protective surfactant layer in the alveoli will deplete, making it hard to breath and eventually end up in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) which is deadly. So you see how the basic essential needs of man such as water and oxygen can be deadly. *So everything is a poison if not given in the proper DOSE, via the proper ROUTE, at the proper TIME, to the proper PATIENT with the proper INDICATION.* I've seen people come in with liver failure and kidney after taking alternative medications that have heavy metals in them.
In the end do what you like, If you have a specialization that you like you're gonna have a way better career than when you just do it for the money. All those top doctors in their field are probably top doctors because the subject interests them. The money is a nice bonus tho.
@@amoghdurgam5621 A dermatologist with a fellowship/special traning to remove skin cancers. Mainly basal and squamous cell. I live in Florida so the doctors here do a high volume (20-30) a day
Interventional Cardiology: best sub specialty. Make good money (600+K), impact MORTALITY (unlike plastics, ortho, derm, etc). Call sucks. Hours aren’t great. Training is minimum 7 years. The price I and others pay for acutely saving and improving lives. RadOnc agree. Call is much much better.
The graphic of this video makes it look like money is the thing making physicians happy. This shouldn't be the case. If your specialty brings you a sense of purpose and fulfillment, the money is just a byproduct.
Only rich folks work for fulfillment(and even then its not the same as a hobby you dont depend on it anymore and can have your own scheldue). Normal people work for survival.
I loved the video! I think it'd be great if you could do a video on nursing specialties though since I am currently working on my education to become a nurse as are many others. It would be very helpful and highly appreciated!
Going to jump on the bandwagon with those attendings saying that physician compensation is variable. Psych here and I’ve seen psych colleagues make 250k to north of 1 million, with the average of my friends being around 3-500k for a job. Currently getting more and more email recruiting offers however promising 500k. (Though I’m sure inflation has something to do with this.) I do remember that in 2019, psych was listed as the top paying job in San Antonio by the bureau of labor and statistics. At the end of the day though (to any med student reading this), PLEASE choose what specialty makes you most happy. While considering this, I recommend that you contemplate lifestyle, job stress, on call requirements, and expected exposure to litigation as well.
This just gave me so much inspiration. I am doing the same, and I am also a sophomore and a mother(and having a bit of a breakdown haha)much success to your daughter✨
I didn't see ophthalmology mentioned.. I don't know if every field is like this but average salaries mentioned online are WILDLY inaccurate. Most general ophthalmology docs work 35 hours a week and are at 500k. And if you look at retina specifically, usually its 40-45 hrs a week and it ranges from 750k to 1.5M. You will see jobs that mention production bonus, and this is because ophtho is volume driven. Its so specialized so its not that hard to see 80 to 100 patients a day hence the volume. Surgeries as fairly fast as well.
My recommendation is not to do it for the money, nothing beats waking up in the morning to go do something you like, even if that means checking macules and papules--for those Dermatologist out there.
Many doctors volunteer for free during some of their vacation weeks to fly and work for MSF and Unicef. The WHO is more concerned with public health so family physicians and researchers who specialize in that work there.
it’s always so crazy how to me these salaries, even the lowest, is so good to me, i make 14 an hour as a scribe and that already is high considering the background i come from
Med-peds is more inpt, for people who want to subspecialize, and can do hospitalist work on either side. It’s also two year longer than FM and doesn’t have surgery and OB. FM is more outpatient in training, has OB and surg included in that. Now it’s very unlikely you’ll get to pop out babies and do surgeries unless you’re 4-5+ hours from a city though. You can’t subspecialize as FM but it has its own unique fellowships. Not competitive at all. I’n cities, you’ll be exclusive outpatient where in rural areas, you can do inpt and ER.
I think this depends where you are. Where I live, PAs are typically part of a union and are entitled to the same compensation regardless of speciality. However, private practice is its own beast and not all PAs are part of the union

delivery men earn like 2-3 bucks in moscow during summer (good weather) and maybe 5 in winter (bad weather) tops. I don't even want to calculate the annual income. probably doctor is a better choice, that's right
I didn't realize Dermatology was going to be so competitive that's something I want to do. Sort of kind of want to be a plastic surgeon only because I want to do surgery but I don't like the negativity of self-image that some people have if you want to do it to make you feel comfortable that's fine but doing it to make others think you're pretty is not okay.
Even Nurse Practitioners make a pretty dollar and aren't required to attend med school. For example, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNP) make 100- 150 grand a year depending on your residence. I know where I live fresh out of college they make $100k/yr. Only requires a 6 year program which is good considering their counterparts which takes about 10 years on average. The PMHNP is the route I'm going due to the issue of me not wanting to go to school for long but wanting to do something in the Medical field
Yes, nurse practitioners get hired mostly in NY. Internists are at home when nurse practitioners are around the clinic. I'm trying to figure out the hours though. I like to work less hours or work then retire early. Too bad I'm in my 30s now. I actually went to nursing school & then quit really early because I felt too young back then. Now, I don't want to make anything less than $75K. I would need study aids though because I feel like I have adhd.
I just entered nursing school but I have a passion for working with special needs people I'm trying to figure out out what are some things I could go to school for and make a lot of money doing what I love Wich is working with special needs people

It should be obvious, but a point I’d like to make for med students is that these numbers are quite variable, and it’s possible to engineer the job/lifestyle you want if you’re intentional about it. I’m a cardiologist, and I work about 40-41 hours per wk max. We have 5 partners in our group, and we worked out our schedule such that each of us gets 1 day per wk off. In other words, I only work 4 days per wk. These jobs are out there if you know what you want and work hard to make it happen.
I have never been able to ask this to a doctor, and im worried since im almost about to go to university in 2 years. it would be great if you could answer!
so about med school, did you need to have a good memorizing power? i have an awful memory but i still want to be a dermatologist (inspired by my hives, which the general physician misdiagnosed as eczema bc he wasnt cooperative at all). everyone tells me i have a good brain but im worried if my bad memory would be an obstacle?
@@yesmaam3399 there is a lot of memorization, but there are techniques that can really help with it. Rote memorization is really hard for me also, but comprehension is easy. I find that, rather than trying to memorize a list, getting to know and understand that list makes it waaaay easier to remember -- and you'll need that information later anyway. That and flashcards has really helped me. I recommend looking into the science of memory and memory techniques that'll help you out. Personally, I'm big on (really silly) mnemonics.
I love the your point, it's quiet weighty.
I wanna see myself where you are one day, I hope you see this comment, I have a lot to ask.
ER DOCTOR HERE !!!!! Amazing video, thank you for this, some young future Med people out there need to hear this. I love EM and it goes with what I like. My best friend left Dermatology for Anesthesia ! Again make sure you really do what you like. All doctors make money. I can assure you that happiness is not exponential the more money does NOT necessarily mean more happiness. Stay Safe all !!!! 🚑👍🙌
Very Great point honestly!
Also the pay is often completely arbitrary. You can wake up and congress decided you make way less money. So pick what you love within reason.
Exactly, do what you love.
Why did you feel the need to say ER DOCTOR HERE!!!! ?
@@konstandinose.6695 To let people know I am an ER doctor ???? Simple ?
I love that you always compare surgical specialties to all specialties *as well as* surgical specialties too.
Great video! Also remember these salaries are pre-tax, physician salaries are highly variable depending on details of practice setting and geography, opportunity costs of additional years of training are larger than trainees may realize, and one can always make more money with smart financial choices and investing. At the end of the day, you're right, salary is important but it shouldn't be the main factor in choosing a specialty!
58 hrs per week? Jesus, do people in the US have a live outside their job? In Italy (and I can safely guess the rest of the EU) it would be already frowned upon working anything more than 40. And we are paid extra, above that threshold. Otherwise nobody would do it.

Neurosurgery being one of the highest earning specialties but not even making it into top 6 just tells how much the work hours would be 😭😭
Neurosurgery isn’t included in a lot of lists like this because there aren’t a lot of neurosurgeons in the country. Data for them can be hard to find. Medscapes annual physician compensation report, for example, has never included neurosurgeons. I highly doubt neurosurgery wouldn’t be on the list if it were included. Of the lists I found that actually included neurosurgery, it was always top 3. It was #1 on beckers hospital review at $398 per hour. Orthopedic surgery came in 2nd at $300

It can a miserable field. But many do spine and are not on call and they make….insane money.
Several things: this is a great vid because no one breaks down specialities like this for premed and Med students. A lot of these things are important to consider when deciding on a specialty although doing what you enjoy is the most important. I didn’t realize Dermatology was the most competitive (I thought it was one of). Either way following specific steps will allow a student to match into whatever field they want and they shouldn’t be discouraged by competitiveness!

There is a shortage of Pediatricians in the western USA now. Pay is finally improving due to the mismatch between supply and demand. My employer pays 310K if you are willing to be on call every 4th week. It is a lot of work. Without the on call I probably work 60 hours a week including charting at home. I do get 7 weeks of paid time off every year. The rewards are great. Pediatricians have low suicide rates and usually work well into their 70's because they love their jobs. The long term relationships with families are priceless. Not all career decisions should be made strictly on salary.
Dang, this is exactly the type of content I love to see!
This doesn’t take into account vacation jobs. Almost every radiology private practice job where 58 hours is standard is giving anywhere from 8-16 weeks vacation yet your calculation factored in a standard 2 week vacation across the board. Using the Medscape salary data given here (which is about 100k low compared to MGMA for a pp radiologist working almost 60 hours), that would equal to 178 dollars an hour rather than 142 if given a 12 week vacation.
But then factor how there are not nearly as many breaks in the day and it is quite assembly line. This time off is required.
Heads up. EM physicians easily make $200-250/hr (and even more in remote location) after a 3 year residency. Most full time EM jobs are only 30 hours a week. Most Em physicians do work an additional PRN job though.
This! EM in the southeast, average in my area is 250/hr with full time being 120hrs/month. Great work life balance.

OMG neurosurgery not being in this list scares the heck out of me 😭 how many hours will we be working even smh
There isn't much information on neurosurgery and I can assure you they make a shitload of money relative to their hourly rate. For instance, an attending neurosurgeon could be working 50-60 hours per week while earning $300 to $400 an hour. It's that the data isn't concrete and is quite limited; that's why neurosurgery wasn't included.
Yeah it’s super variable honestly. Location, experience, who you know. A friend of mines dad is an anesthesiologist and he makes 1.5mil a year in California. But he told me he would make half that in another state.

I thought about med school but it was way too long for what I wanted out of a career so I chose the CRNA route, I have no regrets, as I was able to make a great living still in my 20’s, and best of all, outside of the OR we’re invisible, I’ve never been bothered by a nurse or doc as some complain about “bullying” at work. Being able to practice independently has been the main reason I took this pathway. I’ve been trying to get my brother to go the same route but he’s made up his mind & wants to be an anesthesiologist 😂 All I can say is good luck 👍 I hope he’s got a 15 year life plan drummed up.

Working 60 hours per week is a tough, I understand the compensation is amazing, but I’d be very curious to see the burnout and job satisfaction with these higher hours per week. Especially because it isn’t 60 easy hours, it’s grinding physically and mentally for all 60 of those hours. Many PAs I know tend to be much happier with their lives than most of their physician counterparts. Having said that, I am seriously grateful for all that physicians do, they sacrifice a lot of their time to do excellent work. I wish their was a solid solution to decrease burnout. Again, thank you docs for all you do!
It is well documented that the rates of suicide, burnout, failed marriages and drug abuse (alcohol) are higher in the following comparisons:
1. relatively higher-paid (eg neurosurgeon) vs low-paid (eg. urologist).
2. surgery vs medical.
Medscape does an annual review looking at these factors.

I’ve worked with different specialized surgeons for 14 years. I’ve seen a lot of insurance billing & bullshit. I started in Cosmetic Dermatology & that’s where the real money is. Regular working hours & tons of perks! I also worked for Vascular, Endocrine, Colorectal & general surgeons. What folks don’t understand is that, if you need surgery, your surgeon is the least paid. The hospital or surgery center is typically 2-3 times more expensive than the surgeons. And anesthesiologists make the most.

With the current problem around the world today I think it's best everyone invest more in digital asset than Saving in banks and real estate. Just my thoughts
Yeah , I think the importance of investment is highly undermined and overlooked which is probably one of the biggest problem we face today. To me investment strategies should be taught in schools

And this wasn’t just a special case, this is the vast majority of them. True some have had 1 or 2 fellowships to make them stand out but still, i think hourly that has to count towards something if they are off 15 days a month and still make that much money 😅
Never seen that kind of schedule in an OR

Dang, my TC in SWE is almost the same as these salaries. Not 500k, but still. But like you said, money ain't everything and tech is a rat race which I don't want to be a part of anymore.
Tell us more? It seems now days the most sought after careers are in tech and medicine for their high salary and decent work life balance (compared to something like investment banking or finance)
@@KhaosVFX Yup, people are waking up to it especially with social media glorifying these careers. I'm not gona sit here and cap. I'm currently at FAANG and the compensation is really good as a new grad SWE. But that's just it, it's extremely hard to break into FAANG and most SWE's are usually starting out at around 80k base. Plus you need to be constantly performing so you get your annual bonus and progress up the org ladder. If you aren't then you basically get laid off since demand is high. I really don't think it's sustainable long term because you'll get older, have a family, etc so you can't always be on the grind. People who say tech jobs are "cush" don't know what they are talking about. It's hard work. It's kind of why I'm switching out to go to med school. As the saying goes, "An old doctor is a wise doctor, and old engineer is just outdated". Finance is another career path that a lot of people can pivot into, I think the biggest part of why people don't go that route is because usually to make it big (ex: Goldman Sachs, Janestreet, McKinsey) you usually have to come from the ivy league or Stanford. I have a couple of friends who are in that field and the work life balance isn't too bad. Coming back to medicine, it's very front loaded since you have to go through so much schooling, but the returns are really high and sustainable.
How much is your TC? Also the grass is not always greener on the other side, i'm a doctor trying to transition into tech.
@@vans4lyf2013 TC is around 300k after just over 1.5 years. Started off as a new grad at around 260k. Didn't go to a top school anything. Went to a state school - not flagship. Did a lot of networking, interview prep, and praying and it paid off.
My parents are doctors, so I've grown up around the whole med culture. So I get what you're saying, but I think I've carefully vetted this path and from personally weighing the pros and cons, I decided to pursue medicine. Who knows, maybe I'll go back to tech, but it would be as a hybrid researcher role or something. Just curious, why are you trying to transition into tech?
Ok fair that sounds like a good plan. I want to transition into tech because I find it more intellectually stimulating.

These salaries are based off reported values. Most rads (and other specialists I know) under report for obvious reasons, particularly those of us not living in big cities. Let's keep the values for our specialty in the "dark," if you will 😉.

Oxygen is essential for all aerobic organisms ( humans, plants, animals) and it forms ozone that protects our atmosphere, so it might be a very good thing right?. If you breath in 100% oxygen for extended periods of time, the protective surfactant layer in the alveoli will deplete, making it hard to breath and eventually end up in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) which is deadly.

Currently getting more and more email recruiting offers however promising 500k. (Though I’m sure inflation has something to do with this.)

While considering this, I recommend that you contemplate lifestyle, job stress, on call requirements, and expected exposure to litigation as well.

Can you do a video comparing the specialties of med-peds and family medicine?
Med-peds is more inpt, for people who want to subspecialize, and can do hospitalist work on either side. It’s also two year longer than FM and doesn’t have surgery and OB. FM is more outpatient in training, has OB and surg included in that. Now it’s very unlikely you’ll get to pop out babies and do surgeries unless you’re 4-5+ hours from a city though. You can’t subspecialize as FM but it has its own unique fellowships. Not competitive at all. I’n cities, you’ll be exclusive outpatient where in rural areas, you can do inpt and ER.

Coming from a curious PA student, do PA salaries generally follow the same trend as Doctors in terms of specialties?
Yes. Typically PAs get paid more in specialties that pay doctors more
I think this depends where you are. Where I live, PAs are typically part of a union and are entitled to the same compensation regardless of speciality. However, private practice is its own beast and not all PAs are part of the union
I’m taking dentistry and the annual salary can be 100k+ which is more than good enough for me :)
Then there's me wanting to do ob/gyn
Me too😂😂
@medschoolinsiders Can you do this video for Physician Assistants? Thanks!
Yo my uncle is a urologist who does vasectomies in around greater Vancouver region of British Columbia. I know for a fact that he took him 4 million cuz my dad asks him all the time how much can my sister expect to make when she grads med skewl 😂
And yes I’m the black sheep of the family
delivery men earn like 2-3 bucks in moscow during summer (good weather) and maybe 5 in winter (bad weather) tops. I don't even want to calculate the annual income. probably doctor is a better choice, that's right
We want vascular surgery
those hourly salary can feed us for about a week or two here in my country
I didn't realize Dermatology was going to be so competitive that's something I want to do. Sort of kind of want to be a plastic surgeon only because I want to do surgery but I don't like the negativity of self-image that some people have if you want to do it to make you feel comfortable that's fine but doing it to make others think you're pretty is not okay.
Ophthalmology is very competitive. The ranking system that you use need to be revised.
Even Nurse Practitioners make a pretty dollar and aren't required to attend med school. For example, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNP) make 100- 150 grand a year depending on your residence. I know where I live fresh out of college they make $100k/yr. Only requires a 6 year program which is good considering their counterparts which takes about 10 years on average. The PMHNP is the route I'm going due to the issue of me not wanting to go to school for long but wanting to do something in the Medical field
Yes, nurse practitioners get hired mostly in NY. Internists are at home when nurse practitioners are around the clinic. I'm trying to figure out the hours though. I like to work less hours or work then retire early. Too bad I'm in my 30s now. I actually went to nursing school & then quit really early because I felt too young back then. Now, I don't want to make anything less than $75K. I would need study aids though because I feel like I have adhd.
I just entered nursing school but I have a passion for working with special needs people I'm trying to figure out out what are some things I could go to school for and make a lot of money doing what I love Wich is working with special needs people
One rep max above 500 😂 i better get back to bench pressing
Good to know so I can scoff at the lower-paid doctors even though their wages are still higher than mine.
Where is neurosurgery??
The fact that it doesn’t make top 6 while being top 3 in annual is scary😭😭
Cool that is amazing!
