Bingo, that list doesn't take into account underemployment in the
sciences and the way it's written, it makes pharmacy careers look worse
than it actually is because starting PharmDs are getting $80K+/yr and
that's for 95+% of every graduating class, not just the 'A' students.
In addition, 100% of the residents finishing the IM residency at
affiliated programs are getting $120K+/yr with more than half above the
median posted on that site. Oh heck, senior residents, who moonlite,
can earn $60/hr helping out in a clinic from time to time. A few former
rotation acquaintances I knew did that and earned $80K/yr during their
final years as a resident ($45K/yr residency salary + $35K/yr
moonlighting consultancy) before getting their first full time MD job.

And I wouldn't worry about the surgical specialists, they've always
done well.

I'd like to meet all these experienced biologists (outside of those
coveted Pfizer/Genentech positions) earning >$70K when many can't even
get past their postdocs.
