A surgeon’s salary depends on what type of surgery he or she is involved with. Some even consider the state or location where they practice. CNN Money, CNN’s business website, ranked the general surgeon profession in the 75th position in the “100 Best Jobs in America”. Sounds exciting? Not probably since being in the 75th spot means the job is way too exhausting.

However, in another CNN Money feature, general surgeons ranked second place in the “20 Highest-Paying Jobs”. According to a surgeon from the John Hopkins Hospital, “Surgery is intensely rewarding. To be able to tell a patient that a family member has a chance at a new life or to rid someone or cure someone of a disability, it’s a very rewarding experience.” The median pay for general surgeons amounts to $260,000 while the top pay is at $412,000. “It’s a lot of training, but I think it’s worth it,” the surgeon adds.
