"I did feel slightly jealous over that, thinking that as an engineer, all I could do on a long flight is maybe fix someone's iPad ..." and reprogram the flight controls and save everyone's life if the plane went into a tail spin. during that all the doctors could do is clean up everyone's shit

"Plus they never even joked about the nurses getting cancer from the x-ray machines".....as Cramer would say."you know nothing" diagnostic radiation does not cause cancer.....do you even know what a photon is?.... Radiologists have to know more information about all medical disciplines....they are crucial to the management/diagnosis of medical diseases.

>> At least two of my friends from college are now radiologists. I think they make close to $300K/year. Not too shabby for looking at X-rays all day. Radiologists often make far more than that. One of the highest paid specialties (perhaps the highest, I don't remember). But a lot of them don't just look at x-rays all day; there are a number of imaging-guided procedures like biopsies, arteriography, angioplasty, etc. If I were going to be a physician this would be the specialty I'd want, though.
