This salary ranking [businessinsider.com] might be of interest to Soylentils contemplating careers in medicine:

Not all doctors take home the same amount of money. Orthopedists — doctors who treat bone and muscle problems — make the most on average. Pediatricians, or those who take care of children, earn the least. And white doctors take home ignificantly more than their equally qualified peers of color, regardless of specialty.

This data comes from the WebMD-owned medical resource Medscape, which crunches the numbers on self-reported annual income from more than 19,200 doctors across 27 specialties for its annual Physician Compensation Report [medscape.com].

Friends in residency programs have often aspired to Radiology as a high-pay, low-risk specialty, but YMMV.
