Residents are paid, and the amount paid is based on the type of program, and the location. Generally, a residency program will increase the salary as the resident progresses through the residency program (usually annually with their program year group) They also increase benefits as they progress through the program, such as 2 weeks vacation the first year and 3 weeks the successive years, and time off for continuing medical education, annually, after the first year.
Average residency salaries are $38,000 for the first year to about $43,000 for the final year if the program is 4 years in length.

They are paid, but not very well. At least they are paid. Lawyers do not have that kind of program that integrates them into practice. For many of us, it's either employment with a prestigious firm or unemployment.

Yes, but very, very little for the education level and the hours worked.

Yes, maybe, 50K. But they do not get to financially screw society until they get out of residency, then they make $200K-$2Mill.
