looks like im going to say this again... Do not go into medicine for the money, and if you do, then i assure you that you will be a bit disappointed when you see how little your earnings are for the amount of hours youre working. Go into your desired field because you want to. because you love it. dont let money be a motivating factor.ps..go into surgery if you want to work your ass off. -nsg, ortho

Why can't one go into medicine field because of money and loving the job. Everyone makes it seem likes it one or the other.
you should take what he says with a big grain of salt ... he is actually in high school, not a medical student.

Everyone who is in med school...it's ok...we can hop of our high horse...adcoms aren't listening anymore.
But seriously, it isn't wrong to want to make money. If you do something SOLELY for the money, you'll probably be miserable. However, we need to stop pretending like making money is a sin. If you haven't thought about the money aspect, you're either lying or kidding yourself.
Also, OP can't be real so all of this is moot anyway.

You can look up those facts yourself. However, cardiology and neurology both are great choices since both of them involve lots of thinking. I personally, find the brain a bit more interesting than the heart, but the pathophysiology for both is amazing. I would be happy with either one of them.
I don't think OP is going solely for money otherwise, he'd pick different specialties. Those 2 are great choices. In general, cardio makes more $$ than neuro, but they also have more call.

Cardiology = longer training w/ 6 years at minimum, 7-8 years for interventional or EP vs. 4 for neuro. Cardiology has much more procedural work as an option, neuro is increasingly moving into the interventional stroke realm, but has competition from neurosurg and neuro interventional rads. Income in cards is higher, especially in interventional and EP, though rumor has it that interventional cards may be on the financial chopping block. EP procedures are newer, and probably won't be cut for a little while. Even so, general cards will probably still make more then general neuro, but with a worse lifestle.
I'm interested in neuroscience, but I also think I would like to have the chance to do some procedures in whichever specialty I choose. Obviously, neurosurgery doesn't have that great a lifestyle. Is it reasonable to expect that I will be able to do some of those interventional stroke procedures, or any type of procedure really, if I go into neurology, or not so much?
