My parents are pressuring me to become a surgeon but I'm not extremely keen. I mean, I rather become a surgeon more than a lawyer or business man but I still rather be a scientist, to be more particular a Theoretical Physicist. I am very interested in almost all aspects of physics and its implications.
However:
Well there is actually an advantage in being a surgeon. They make more money than physicists.....or at least I am told that by my parents.My dad is a surgeon and he always states who i spend lots of money but he thinks the job of a surgeon is not great and he is one himself but my mum who is a mathematician thinks it s basically the holy grail . As a cardiothracicc surgeon for example I can make $540,000 an year or as a lower doctor I can make at least $200,000 an year.
How much money do Physicists make yearly? To be more specific, how much do Theoretical Physicists make yearly? I heard it 80,000 pounds, but my parents told me that so they could be lying to get me in a medical profession. 80,000 pounds a year is kind of low, so I would want that.
