Private Practice Urologist. Salary: $187,000 

The whole private practice thing is not working as well as you've been told. The costs to maintain an office are too high for one urologist to cover. While you're not doing too badly for yourself, you think you may be better off employed by a hospital where you won't have to deal with the stress of keeping afloat.

Public Hospital-Employed Urologist. Salary: $240,000 

The hospital is big and pretty overwhelming—you have a lot of patients every day, and it's hard to really get to know them. There are a lot of people just passing through, but you enjoy the busy, social environment, so it's no problem.

Private Hospital-Employed Urologist. Salary: $396,233 

The privatized life makes your job a little easier by limiting the amount of patients you see every day. It's generally a calmer environment. You still have a lot of patients, and find it difficult to have a rapport with all of them, but there are not as many patients as one of those big state hospitals. Not to mention you get some time allotted for research projects, which is pretty sweet.

Urologist at a Group Practice. Salary: $500,000 

Going into private practice on your own is a thing of the past; now you have stability and financial security because you have the bank-power of eight other doctors on your side. You know all of your patients and their families really well. You look forward to seeing them. You're never worried about going under and, even if you did, your current salary is so high that it wouldn't even start to matter for a year.

Esteemed Private Practice Urologist. Salary $619,000+ 

Oprah once had you on her show for a segment about UTIs, and now you have a two year waiting list. You see a lot of different people and only have a handful of regular patients, but your esteem and Oprah's stamp of approval has given you a lot of freedom to do whatever you want with your schedule. If you choose to reschedule a patient last minute, they'll gladly accept and thank you for it. It's pretty darn perfect.
