A friend of mine is a CRNA. She was complaining about her ex husband (anesthesiologist) not contributing more to their son's college education costs, stating that he makes $750K annually to her $300k. I understand, though, that anecdotes are not data.

CRNA - 150-200.. MDA - 300-400. Very few CRNAs make 300.. very few MDAs make 750

The CRNA I know is at the top of the pay scale because of her seniority and many hours she works.
