Richard’s Answer

Anesthesiologists have more stress but make more money.

Also Consider the time required to achieve your goal

To Become a CRNA: After high school it takes about 4 years of university to become a registered nurse.
After time spent working as a nurse, including 2 years of critical care, one can apply to CRNA school, which takes an additional 2-3 years.

Becoming an anesthesiologist: 4 year of college, 4 years of medical school and 4 years of residency.

Sean’s Answer

I think the short answer is are you able to attend the extra college to become an MD vs a nurse with a specialty. The pay at both is great but adding the MD is going to eventually pay much better.
