What is the highest paying medical career?

We Answered:

Check out this list from helium.com:

1. Surgeon. Surgeons are compensated for their brilliant work at the highest pay for this list at a whopping $181,250 per year. Think of it this way, in six short years after medical school, a surgeon will become a new millionaire.

2. Anesthesiologist gets paid $174,810 a year. They administer the drugs to a patient and make certain that your heart rate and breathing rates are all doing just fine. As far as I'm concerned Anesthesiologists don't get paid enough!

3. Obstetrician and Gynecologist get paid $171,810 a year. This doctor brings new life into the world, and makes certain that a woman is healthy in her nether region.

4. Orthodontists make less than you probably would have thought, ringing in at a paltry $163,410.

5. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon brings in about $160,000 a year.

6. General Internist rakes in about $156,550. No wonder so many Moms are proud of their children for becoming doctors!

7. Psychiatrist makes about $146,150 a year for asking you what you think about that problem.

8. Prosthodontist gets paid just slightly less than a psychiatrist does at $146,080 yearly.

9. Family and general Practice Physician is compensated at about $140,370 yearly.

And at the bottom of the list is the person who is in charge of the entire operation and gets paid the least amount:

10. Chief Executive Officer only gets paid $140,210 a year. But a CEO undoubtedly gets a ten million dollar bonus at the end of the year.

There you have it, the Top Ten Highest Paying Jobs for 2009. To get one of these jobs you will have to go to school for a very long time, and take out extensive school loans. But you can become a millionaire in just a few short years after graduation. If you have a flair for working with people and enjoy making people feel better, then one of these high paying positions is just right for you.

highest paying medical careers with the least amount of college?

We Answered:

If you are considering going into healthcare for the money, you may be disappointed. Nursing and other healthcare positions are hard work and the working conditions suck at times. You have to really love the work for it to be worthwhile to you.

Nuclear Technicians

Nuclear technicians operate nuclear test and research equipment, monitor radiation, and assist nuclear engineers and physicists in research. Some also operate remote controlled equipment to manipulate radioactive materials or materials exposed to radioactivity.
