Working as a 2 year qualified veterinary surgeon, apparently the impression is that the wages are high.....
I work 4.5 days per week, 9-7each day, with 2 nights on call each week, with 1 in 4 weekends on call (sat am - mon), and 1 in 4 wkends off with a couple of saturday mornings each month on top.
(And no you don't get the next day off if you were on call the night before, even if you were in operating all night.)
All for the bargain wage of £1313/m take home
(with a house and a Micra thrown in).

I am currently trying to change career, 900hrs for anything more than I am on now, seems like a great deal to me!
(And you get to leave your work at work most of the time, at least when your flight has landed you don't sit at home worrying about it!)
