    high-paying specialties that aren't competitive?

    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??

    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"......

    i'm sorry, but damn, this is a sad, sad thread.
    the car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides and a dark wind blows. the government is corrupt and we're on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn. we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to death.

    -GYBE!

    hrmm

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

    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....
