Hello,
I am sorry in that I know that salary topics are taboo and frowned upon. I am trying to decide my life path and unfortunately that includes getting over the hurdle of around $400 grand in student loans.
I think I would really love pediatric cardiology, I have interacted with a handful of these specialists and and they all say they love their career and have no regrets. I also just finished a NICU audition and am drawn to congenital heart disease, I love the complexity and ability to change and save lives. I wish money were not a deciding factor in these decisions, but with so much at stake I would really like an honest answer. I have seen ranges from different online sources citing peds cards makes $200k and to around $300k, and even some residents saying $400k. ERAS opens next week for me and unfortunately I am torn, if money were no issue I wouldn't even be questioning my decision to go into peds, but unfortunately that is not the reality. I would be really appreciative if anyone could give me accurate ranges of what I could expect to earn if I choose to go down this path. Thank you very much
