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. You shouldn't_comma_ because that is  a very stressful job
current: Yeah, that's a good point. I also realized he has a high malpractice insurance, and is on call a lot.
next: And don't forget how many years they have to study in order to get a license for surgery
