Does anyone know of a good website or online resource that describes all of the different specialties?

This is the best I've come across and includes the nature of the work, training reqs, sub-specialty options, and salary ranges:

It isn't a web resource but I found it pretty helpful.

No problem! Take the survey if you have time. I'm not sure if the results really mean anything, but it's fun to see the results.
