    Tell us something we don’t know. Doctors, Ortho’s, OB/GYN make TONS of money. Come on!! What about electricians, working behind the scenes in the entertainment business…not jobs that require 6+ years of school.

    This article is not well written. The categories are all mixed up. You have "Family Practice and General Practioners" but then "Internists" in their own category. Internists are General Practioners. You have "Other Physicians and Surgeons," yet put Anesthesiologists and Surgeons in other categories. It makes abosultely no sense!
