Anesthesiology/Do it all over again

Question
If you had a choice to re-do your decision on profession based on income what would that be and why?

Answer
I didn't go into medicine for the income but rather because I liked the challenge of medicine and the rewards from doing a good job. If you are looking for a profession based on income alone, go into business or the financial or high tech arenas. They are probably better for income (relative to time spent at work).
