Top 10 Highest Paid Doctor Specialties | Why Are Only Some Physicians Wealthy?

If you have 2 bank accounts one for saving putting away money every month you be rich already it’s how to work and how you work with your money.

I'm 15 yet this video is causing me some of the most stress I've felt in my life 😨

Neurosurgeon left the chat

Yeah but the highest earners get taxed the shit out of them

Currently 18 soon to start college and all that schooling for psychiatry. I love psychology and medicine so it works perfect for Me. I’m just worried about the crazy high demand…

I am two dadada
Why am I stressing about this tetetere

plz tell me about heart surgeon plz plz plz plz

“Significantly lower at 223,000 a year” PFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTT OKAAYYYYYYY YEAH OKAY IM SO POOR WITH MY 200k plus A YEAR WAGE YEAH OKAY

No physician should be “wealthy”

California? The best? You should be a comedian because that joke was out of this world

A degree is only necessary for maybeeeee 20 different professions. Other than that it’s just a piece of paper, the education can be learned online by anyone, practically.

Imagine having to go to school for like 10 years just to finally begin actually working, at which point you begin to be able to pay off your $500k debt lol yeah no never not in this life or the next 1000.

❤🎉come kashmir

bro where is neurosurgery?

I understand about money,but you guys forgot that you can also vlog ect or teach at medicine as doctors ect and make extra money,plus your main aim should be to help people

What about Pathology?

CEO of our local medical center = $2 million; Cleveland clinic = $4 million. One of my oldest friends is a radiologist and he told me that he makes about $2 million (max.). My brother is a cardiologist...busy and works very hard to make $1.8 million (sometimes a little more, it depends). Local endodontist makes about $2 million with virtually no liability, short hours and long vacations. His brother is an orthodontist and makes almost as much. Again, there is NO significant liability and he doesn't have to bother with insurance companies to any significant degree.

I’ve always dreamt of being a cardiologist since my childhood. I lost many family members due to heart diseases and not being able to afford enough health car, made me realise if I were to become a cardiologist I could save many other people’s family members so that they can be alive and enjoy the moments my family members couldn’t.

I saw ophtho at 350k on your chart but (and I dont know if other specialties are like this) I've seen ophthalmologists making around 350k and others making over 3M easily (Lasik, refractive lensectomy) and I would say the majority around in thr range of 400k to 750k.

Avoid business headaches and still make a good living. Enough money to buy a Cadillac and a nice home. That’s why so many physicians in my area work for a large company like inspira.

Private practice is where it is at. I like the business side. I like hiring the staff I want. I love not having an admistrator tell me what emr to use or what equipment to buy. I take less vacation than my employed counterparts. However, I need less vacations because I'm not as stressed. I enjoy going to work and still feel that way after 25 years.

In Bangladesh, MOST of the female "Brilliant Students" are forced to become doctors. Money and fame will come 😇. Your parents will be so proud. You will earn thousands of taka everyday!!

Hell, bloody hell, I don't wanna be a doctor! I wanna have a masters degree in English literature. But...I can't.

Tbh I have been doing so much research about different types of doctors that I lost track about how much 300, 400 and, 500k a year actually is. I live in a average middle class 900k dollar home now but I spent most of my childhood living in a 200k dollar town home. And the early years of my life living in an apartment. My parents make about 130k each a year. My dream is to either to become a cardiologist or an orthopedic. I am not looking to become a doctor to be incredibly rich with tons of money. I honestly just wanna to live a comfortable higher upper class life. I want to live with my family in house that is maybe 2M+ and 10,000+ sq in the suburbs. Going on vacations is a really important factor to me because growing up I never really got to go on that many vacations. And having decent cars. I know that is a lot to ask for but I am going to work to get it.

I kind of want to pursue radiology, radiation oncology, orthopedic surgery, or anesthesiology. I can’t decide!!!

In my 45 year Medical Career, I met one Neurosurgeon who married one woman and stayed married to her all his life. They earn every penny...

Why is neurosurgery never in these videos?

I bet you love paying California state taxes too. Especially since California politicians are so thoughtful with how they spend public money.

I'm planning on studying medicine. I work 84 hours per week i.e from 06:00 am to 6:pm sometimes even over time but still couldn't even afford my one room house rent food and sometimes even water so I m planning on getting a student loan to study medicine

Im in form 5 in tye caribbean and i want to be a cardiologist. Shoild i go to med school in the caribbean or in the us/canada?

This is when you work for a hospital and get them to pay for you to go to school…

I had full academic scholarships for both university and medical school. I was in the top 20 in my class and could’ve selected multiple high paying specialties but I selected pediatrics because that’s what I enjoyed most. I had a wonderful 20 year career in primary care general pediatrics, but when I left pediatrics to join FDA, my starting salary was more than I ever made practicing pediatrics in a metro area on the East Coast. And now I get to help thousands or more patients with my work rather than one patient at a time.

Doctors are underpaid,They are the one who works and spend their time on studying and taking care of other people meanwhile compare to other non proffesional that is not that much worth of big salary. Phliphines nurses and doctors are very underpaid so thats why other licensed filipinos doctor go to abroad and find a good salary to earn some money that they deserve.(not only in phliphines).

I’m 16, and I want to become a neurologist, I’m well prepared for the hard work and commitment to becoming one, and I’ll gladly sacrifice 16 years of my life for university, med school and neurology lol

Hello I'm Nathalie I'm 12 years old ,Since I'm a child I've been dreaming to become a surgeonist bc I want my family to be proud to me and rise from poverty. And I will do everything to make my parents happy:)

I am 13 too because I have so many careers I want to do I am stressing on whether I can decide in a little less then 5 years. I want to be a gynecologist or a neurosurgeon. I am epileptic so I would love to help kids like me and I would love to help families and see them in some of the happiest moments in their life. I have other careers I would love to choose like engineering or becoming a therapist because mental health has always been a topic that fascinates me. I have no clue why I am stressed out when I have like 5 years.

And what about dentistry?

So Ortho Surgeons kickass in every category? Checks out

Why is there no data on psychiatrists here ;(

Are u kidding the're not highly paid

6.43 you can't love a speciality until you have experienced it over 20 years.

It is personality driven and
Maximum extraction potential. Make the most with the least amount of effort.

Yeah doctors are rich but they work mostly 60 hours a week and thats tiring and thats what i hate while tiktok stars get paid like 100k per vid they post

I am from India( low income country ) and we work with Psychiatrists making more than 15 million dollars a year and they barely work for 8 hours a week .Money can be earned through your talent .

What about Emergency medicine?

Neurosurgery resident here. I didn't plan on NSGY going into medical school but I ended up here because I found my passion. It'd be asinine to choose one of these specialities based on salary, its simply too much work to justify the pay in comparison to other residencies.

If you're a high schooler or even an underclassman in college- don't worry about this stuff. Just go study to put yourself in a position where you can make the choices you want to.

There’s no reasonable amount of money that would ever get me into California or New York. It would take an insane amount like $10M a year or more to get me into either of those ridiculous states! Respectfully, my opinion

I want to be a doctor and money is my main driving factor, someone got a problem? You are not gonna bring that bread to my table then STFU. This doesn't mean I am going to sacrifice the care and efficiency I will give my patients either.

Money shouldnt be the reason 🤣to go into medicine... its the reason behind everything humankind does.

Does a DO attend Med school?

As I get older I realize that wealth has much more to do with how you use/finance your money than how much you make
