Doctors and lawyers in the United States are representatives of the middle class and are well paid.

It is very time-consuming to study to become a doctor in the United States. It takes 4 years for undergraduate studies, 4 years for medical school, and 2 years for internship (surgeons have longer internship time). There are also many entrance and practice examinations that are not easy to complete. Those who can practice medicine independently are at least around 30 years old. This is also the importance that the United States attaches to the profession of doctors. After long-term study and internship, only with rich experience can we face patients independently. This is also respect for life.

Therefore, once you are able to practice medicine, your salary is usually very generous.

The average annual income of doctors in the United States is about US$150,000, while the top surgeons earn more than US$500,000.
