high-paying specialties that aren't competitive?

[doctormua]

are there any specialties that pay above, say, $220-k a year that aren't as competitive as anesthesiology, rads, or surgery?

are there any high-paying specialties that an average joe caribbean grad can get without too much trouble??

is ob/gyn one of them??

???
ur deciding based on pay, not interest?
ok...
the higher the pay, the harder it is, usually!

You can make a lot of money in almost any specialty if you work hard enough or are very business minded.The trick is making a lot without killing yourself,hours wise etc.Those specialties are all competitive.
OBGYN is not a specialty to make alot of money "without too much trouble"......

All the psychiatrists I've worked with in private practice make over $250.

[Kirst]

when people say 250K income, do they mean before tax & expenses (overhead, malpractice, etc) or after? including or excluding standard bonuses & typical perks?

[doctormua]

they mean without taxes, this is all pre-tax income.

also, can people please post anything that is the average....i know people always say 'oh i know somebody who made this much' or whatever, please somebody post average figures........of course there are people who make more than the average..

but i'm just asking for the average....
