A film and sound editor acquaintance of mine who's worked in the USA said he couldn't live there long-term in part because he found the use of wealth to define yourself to be offensive. Graham

General Practitioners can earn over ?100,000 a year, but only if they are in the right location say the Association of Specialist Medical Accountants (aisma). Medical finance experts from aisma analysed the 2003 earnings of more than 4,500 GPs across mainland Britain and found that those practising in England earned nearly ?20k more than their equivalents in Scotland or Wales . In 2003, English GPs enjoyed an average annual income of ?89,981, while their Scottish and Welsh colleagues only earned an average of ?72,768 and ?71,458 respectively. http://www.countrydoctor.co.uk/precis/precis%20-%20GP%20income%20variations.htm So, in England ~ $170k Graham |
