Depends on the area, but dentists,docs,surgeons,lawyers get paid around 175k... Surgeons get around 240k. I was thinking about going into dentistry... ****, if they made 300k a year, I would already be in dental school.
Tons of people might get paid 300k, but compared to the earth's population/average income... it's a SMALL percentage of people...
I know a guy who works for HP and gets 500k a year, but that's cuz he is like an EXECUTIVE engineer... something like that...
