So I am at work and cruising through the web and I started to read this report by CNN and thought it would make an interesting topic of discussion. It has Physician/Surgeon as the #30 best job, and Physician assistant as #5, and Medical scientist as #15. Looking at the list I have a few questions.
First the pay scale for Physician/Surgeon is pretty high. I know this is an average but if you click on the Physician/Surgeon link you can see that it still have over 75% of Physician/Surgeon are making over $181,001. This seems a little high for me?? 😕
Second the Physician assistant and Medical scientist pay seems a little low. I also wonder about their definition of a Medical scientist?
I know it might be hard to judge the validity of such a broad report for the medical field but there definitely quite a few health field related jobs for the top 50.
