Does this job exist?
Is there a job that combines medical doctor with math or computers?
Anyone know how much more a doctor makes than an actuary? |

Re: Does this job exist?
I work for a medical software company and we have had several MD's work for our company in various positions and many on a consultant basis, typically doing product development. My understanding is that they would would make 10-50% higher for us than for their market salary in the medical field. The higher end are typically people with more diverse backgrounds for example MBA/MD types that have never really practiced medicine (and these guys have been terrible, small sample size though).

I heard that dentists are in high demand and can easily make more than your average MD.
I have no facts to back this up, however. |

an actuary makes usually makes in the range of 60-300k. doctors can make a lot more and they also have a higher average pay.

im going into actuarial science... the deal /w the huge range is that when you start out you might have 1 or 2 exams passed, you have to pass 8 to technically become an actuary, after you start your job you get paid time off to study for exams and when you pass an exam you get a huge bonus, average out of college salary - 50k, avg after 4 years out of college = 100k

What major would you recommend for someone going into this field? Are you an MD? Do you make close to what a practicing doctor makes? |
