That may be true. But CEO's get bonuses. CEO's don't have to study for 8 years, emerge from school roughly $100,000 (on average) in debt, and then toil through residency. CEO's don't pay for malpractice insurance from their after-tax salaries.

All in all, you won't starve as a physician. I'm sure the money that doctors make should give them a fairly comfortable (and in many cases, even a luxurious) lifestyle. But like everyone else said earlier, if you are in it for the big money, you will be sorely disappointed. (And besides, money is no comfort when you're on call at 3 in the morning)
