It's harder to become an anesthesiologist. They have about 12-13 years of school. 4 years of college, 4 years of med school, 1 year internship, 3 years residency, plus another year and a half of specialized training. Dermatologists don't have nearly that much training. However, anesthesiologists make a lot more money. The average salary is somewhere around $450,000 a year. Dermatologists generally enjoy life more. They can open their own practices, manage their schedule, and have more time for family.
Dermatology is a much harder area of medicine to get into. The competition is fierce because of how life conditions are better. More people are trying to be dermatologists now than ever. Either way the debt is crazy.
