Best Answer

Not all engineers make more than doctors, that could be said the same for doctors. Doctors typically make more. They are more needed and wanted by society as well as the government. When you go to a hospital, do you want a doctor to look at you or an engineer? Doctors have a steady stream of patients so they have lots of work while not all engineers have guaranteed work.

Who earns more money a doctor or an engineer?

Top doctors and top engineers earn more than New Zealand's Prime Minister. There are many types of engineers and many types of doctors. The salary of these professional will depend on who their employer is - government, or private employer. There are many self-employed professional engineers and professional doctors who prefer to "work in their own business/consultancy". How much each earns will depend on where they work within NZ and how many hours they work in their "business". The New Zealand Department of Labour (DoL) has statistics on earnings - but the figures are approximate and general, and some what out of date most of the time. The Department of Statistics has interesting comparative statistics between the various medical and engineering income levels.

What is the highest amount a doctor can earn?

There is absolutely no limit. The average salary of a doctor can range from $150,000 for a general doctor, $163,000 for a psychiatrist and $255,000 for a general surgeon. Regular doctors are not likely to earn more than this, but entrepreneurs can earn millions. This means doctors who, for example, instead of treating patients, invent a new drug or invent something that can be used by other doctors. But only a very small number of doctors do this. Here is a good article about the salary of normal doctors: http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2004/TiffanyYam.shtml -DJ Craig

Why do doctors earn more than carpenters?

Because there is a lot more competition in the carpentry business then in the doctor business. There are fewer doctors then carpenters. It takes a long time to become a doctor, with expensive schools that take years to complete. That cost has to be covered by the payments to the doctors. Doctors also have higher overhead to pay.
