Why Being Sick Pays… At Least If You’re The Doctor
Recently, Forbes published their report of the twenty-five best-paying jobs in the United States. Not surprisingly, the health care industry ranked well; what was surprising, however, was just how thoroughly health care beat out its competition (think Michael Jordan in his hey-day). It wasn’t even close.
Of the fifteen highest-paying jobs in the United States, thirteen resided in health care. Only chief executives — #10 — and airline pilots — #14 — managed to crack the ranks of their white-coated cohorts. Incidentally, at the top of the list were anesthesiologists, who average about $184,000 per year. Not a bad cut for simply putting people to sleep. Al Gore does that for free.
What this means is that if you are going back to school or thinking about a career change, you may want consider the same advice that Mark Felt (a.k.a. “Deep Throat”) once gave two plucky journalists from The Washington Post — follow the money.
