Do architects make more money than orthodontists?

Answer 1

Stupid question, depends on type of speialty, level of experience and public vs private practice.

1st yr out interns (med) or dents earn base rate approx $60,000 in Australia although this varies between states. Dr's can expect approx 30% more to base rate for weekend/afternoon/night time loading and overtime.

Consultant salaries in public health range from $130-300k in public sector for specialist Dr's who can once again expect more for overtime and weekend loading in addition to private patients who may be admitted under them.

Private sector can range depending on services (med vs surg) and specialty ie cardiology is very procedural based doing PCI etc. A private cardiologist can earn upwards of $1,000,000 so can many surgeons.

Dentists on a public contract earn approx $130-180k but majority are in private practice and have associate dents working for them. Hence the sky is the limit depending on how crooked the practice is and how many junior associates are employed. This is very similar for GP practices for GP practice owners and junior GP's employed etc.

So the short answer to your question is more money is available in the med field however it requires additional 4-8yrs of specialist training and further study/exams etc. Dentists can practice after their basic BDsc is completed, unless they further specialise as oral or max fax surgeons.
