I have a friend who is a neurologist. She works very part-time, with veterans with spinal cord injuries. Basically helps with the disability paperwork. It is boring but it is part time, so she can spend a lot of times with her two daughters. But it is the kind of mostly bureaucratic work that is not well paid. Some time ago she was invited to join a private practice where they were given BOTOX injections for cosmetic reasons. She was appalled that doctors - yes, the ones who went to medical schools - would stoop to that level. But now she sometimes regrets that she declined to join them, because it does pay well.
