conv: I was really jealous of my best friend_comma_ who is a surgeon_comma_ and makes six figures a year_comma_ 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 Yeah_comma_ that's a good point. I also realized he has a high malpractice insurance_comma_ and is on call a lot. And don't forget how many years they have to study in order to get a license for surgery True. He went to college for 12 years! The student loans are probably high too.
