In the USA, pediatricians working full-time earn between $90,000-$200,000. Adding medical genetics qualifications will increase the base rate.
The journal Medical Economics reported in 2004:
"Nationwide, says Lorbert, the average starting salary for internists is $120,000-$140,000; for family doctors, $110,000-$120,000; and for pediatricians, $100,000-$120,000. ... Beginning salaries for internists in rural areas, says Smith, are $140,000-$180,000; for family physicians, $140,000-$160,000; and for pediatricians, $125,000-$160,000. "

It depends where you work. If you have your own private practice you will make a different amount than if you work for a hospital.
You can be pretty sure that you will be very comfortable financially when you are working as a pediatrician. If that is what you are interested in, definitely do it! Of course, you may end up changing your mind between now and college. And remember, there are a LOT of crazy parents out there you're going to have to deal with. It's not just cuddling cute babies.

I know a man who is a pediatrician and he lives in a huge two story house and drives one of the most expensive SUV's on the market plus having a jaguar so he makes a goodly amount of money.
