At a MD school interview last week, the interviewer asked me:
"how much do you think primary care docs earn?"
followed by
"how much do you think a cardiothoracic surgeon earns?"
Any guesses on why he would ask me this? Perhaps I came across as a money-grubbing/ in it for the benjamins-type applicant. But still so weird...
I was pretty confident with my answers, which I'm now thinking might have hurt me.
Is physician salary not a fairly well-known topic among pre-meds who have spent the past 4 years working toward medical school? I'm not saying we're doing it for the money, but like any other opportunity cost we're making a decision about our future where salary must factor in at some level...
