you have to go to school for 6 yrs right?

Yeap, just about.

2 years to become a registered nurse (RN).

2 years experience in emergency rooms (ER) or intensive care units (ICU).

18 monthes for anesthesia school.

There it is. Anesthesiologists (sp?) do make a shit ton of cash. I knew one back in the day, and he was pulling down 200k.

Anesthesiologists can make even more depending on where they work.

If you work for a major hospital or run a pain clinic, they can pull in some serious money.

nevermind 12 yrs lolhttp://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Anesthesiologist/Salary

When researching anesthesiology salaries, it's important to keep in mind that, on average, anesthesiologists take about 12 years to finish medical school and residency

Word, becoming a doctor of anesthesia (Anesthesiologist) takes considerably longer than becoming a nurse anesthestist (CRNA) which is what I'm going for.

Yes, but that is almost the limit that one can make. 2 years and he's already capped out on how much he'll make.

Not necessarily true. Their median salary in 2007 was $135,861. Travel agencies (which is what I want to join when I'm done with school) pay $100-$110/hr along with generous benefits packages and medical discounts.
