    Definitely on the higher end of medicine, but I’m still not sure if it’s really going to be a higher pay off than someone with an MBA. You still have nearly 20 years of school, residency, and fellowship before you start making any money.

    There are only around 7500 cosmetic surgeons practicing in the US, compare that to almost half a million investment bankers… I’m pretty sure you’re going to have an easier time pulling in a million a year in banking than in surgery.

        We aren’t talking about the average MBA, I specified an investment banker, most of which have an MBA. There are just a lot more people and positions for someone with an MBA.

          if you’re going to compare the average MD, compare it to the average MBA. or are you one of those shitty doctors who only likes the statistics when they make them look good? OH WAIT YOU’RE PROBABLY THE RECEPTIONIST

            I wasn’t comparing it with your average MD, I was specifically comparing it with one of the highest paid specialists in the field…

            are you one of those shitty doctors who only likes the statistics when they make them look good

            No, just someone who is more skilled at reading comprehension and retention than you.

      Not in US but much in South Korea.

      Also, the few ones paid under retainer by aging billionaires, earning more than their equivalents.

        South Korea might have more surgeons per capita, but it’s a small country. There are around 7500 cosmetic surgeons in the US and only around 2500 in South Korea. And again, you’re probably going to have a higher chance of being wealthy doing finance or working for one of the chaebols. Fellowships for something like cosmetic surgery are extremely competitive.
