Thought this was interesting:

My husband's salary for years 1 to 2 is 65% lower than the one listed for his subspecialty!

The internists here also earn less than what is posted. They also peak at 145k at 3 years. The surgeons that we know also don't earn that 500k salary......hmmmm...I wonder where they got their numbers?

I can't get the link to work! Dang!

Problem: Radiology is taken as one large group rather than split into its varying subspecialties which can bring in vastly different "average" or starting salaries.

Still, it's very interesting....

I can't either Nellie - very strange!

Here is one that may be a bit more up to date....at least it says 2004.

The numbers for Gen Anesthesia seem about accurate. Matt's 1-2 years will fall around the number the survey has, and his 3rd year will be a bit higher. We have friends going to Alaska who will be making $400K his first year out as a generalist. Must be nice.... then again Matt reminds me- it's Alaska and far from our family.

My DH is of course still a resident but the numbers seem accurate to what he has heard graduates in his program make.

That looks mostly accurate but a little lower than what we've been hearing. I'm sure there is some with-in region variation that is harder to capture.
Too bad we aren't looking to live in the south post-residency!

If those numbers are way off, don't tell me just yet... I like to live in my own little ideal world of thinking that there will come a day when we don't have to scrape change from the couch and then have to decide if we want to buy milk or gas with it... .

Here's to dreaming about a day when med school debt won't be our central financial topic...
