I think we have very different ideas of the effect of money on career decisions.

>>> " Plenty of people get paid average salaries yet still go to jobs in teaching, research, the arts, public service, etc. " <<<

Yes, and many of them do an average job.

>>> " I don't think you get a significantly better surgeon for $10 million/year as you get for $200K/year especially if there wasn't the overhang of medical school bills. As for big malpractice insurance bills, they only affect about 2% (so I read) of medical costs plus they go down when doctors stop committing malpractice AND they treat their patients with respect. " <<<

I expect both you and I prefer smart people to 'nice' for things like medical care and piloting aircraft. The smart people are nice enough.
