There’s really no prolific answer to this question. Why do medical careers pay so well? Everyone has their own opinion as to what the answer is, but the one most often given is usually something like this. Medical careers cost a lot of money, and there is a much longer time investment in order to complete the schooling required, to become a medical professional. So it makes sense that the salaries of professionals in this career field would be higher that of other careers. At least that’s how many people see it. This may be true, but that’s not the only reason.

Societies all over the world tends to place a larger value on those careers that are necessary for the survival of the population. The medical field is one of them; and not just the modern medical field.

Tribal cultures that have existed for hundreds and thousands of years have always held their medicine men and healers in higher esteem than others within their communities. Those individuals who possess the ability to heal have, and always will, be credited with being an integral part of why their tribes have survived. It is the same today.
