According to the salary surveys collected by the federal government (www.bls.gov):
In May 2008, the median annual wages of all wage-and-salaried lawyers were $110,590
Median annual wages of salaried general dentists were $142,870 in May 2008.
Median annual wages of wage and salary pharmacists in May 2008 were $106,410.
In 2008, physicians practicing primary care had total median annual compensation of $186,044, and physicians practicing in medical specialties earned total median annual compensation of $339,738.
For psychologists the median is $64,000 in May 2008.
These medians are much higher in particular states. For example, in New York and California the salaries would be higher for each profession but the income disparity remains for psychologists!
