No, that's not why. Doctors also make drastically more than the median wage. Doctors make so much in the US because we have artificial scarcity of doctors.
No it isn't! The median wage for an electrician in the United States is about $65,000. It's nowhere near $200,000. The median general skilled wage is lower than that.

i mean sure, but all skilled labor is trending towards 200-300K wages in the us.
if a "senior" software engineer can make half a mil, and an electrician can make 200k, of course doctor pay are high.
who is going to take 10-15 years of school and debt otherwise?
