The average clinician (not "Doctor", doctors write and defend dissertations) average six figures or more the first year. (see for example: [link\|http://www.physicianssearch.com/physician/salary1.html\|First year Clinician salaries.]) But things improve over time, after three years they're more likely to average more than 200,000 than less than that (see also for example: [link\|http://www.physicianssearch.com/physician/salary2.html\|After Three Years, the Pigs get fatter.]) Clinicians in this country are VASTLY overcompensated for their almost uncanny rote-memorization skills.

But overall, clinicians remain among the highest paid people on the planet. And that's the lure for most (not all) of them. That's why it was much, much easier to get into Med School in the 1980's (almost half of all applicants accepted). That's when the money was in MBA's. Then the economy began to tank, so the money chasers decided to make their millions the old fashioned way: by becoming a physician.
