I know it's not just about money but that is what you pointed out. Both RNs and MDs have brutal amounts of hours, save a few specialties that have decent home lives.
Anyway I'm in healthcare analytics/economics/infomatics.

I completely agree. But family medicine averages $190k-200k a year. NY is going to pay more than rural Arkansas. I'm not down playing physician salary, they make an amazing amount and they put in the hours, school, and time to deserve most of it.
