history: I was really jealous of my best friend, who is a surgeon, and makes six figures a year, while I am at half that. My friend is a surgeon and we were discussing salary. He easily makes 200_comma_000 a year and he is only 32. It's crazy and I was jealous of him.
current: You shouldn't, because that is  a very stressful job
next: Yeah, that's a good point. I also realized he has a high malpractice insurance, and is on call a lot.
