I was wondering if anyone could give me some numbers on the salary difference between a general vet and a specialist (particularly dermatology). How competitive is it to get into these programs?

You do not need to become a board certified veterinary surgeon to do surgery as vet. You can certainly have a much more balanced life as a GP than a specialist.
