With my limited knowledge and from the point of view of actual dollars, I would be inclined to agree, but I suspect a neurosurgeon knows the field a lot better than we do. I have a neurosurgeon friend who is superb in his field which he keeps as limited as possible, seeing himself primarily as a photographer and doing public service work in this area (for which he does not charge, I might add)! I have another friend, also a physician specialist, who urged his daughter not to enter the field. She took his advice and, still wishing to devote herself to a medical career, is now studying in veterinary college. And while most of us don’t know them personally, look at the number of doctors who leave their field to enter politics. There are likely countless reasons why doctors seek an income elsewhere—reasons that we cannot possibly know. And for them, as long as they’re making money, maybe there is more to life than the actual amount of profitability.
