The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.

It depends, on where you apply.
Try the state, and local governments also in addition to hospitals in your local area. The state has benefits that last a lifetime!
GOD bless and congrats for choosing a noble profession, and I do hope you keep studying for that doctor's job someday!
