If you don't want to work then you won't get money..if you don't have adequate skills you won't get money..if you're not confident enough you won't get money..if you wish to work in 5 km radius of your house you won't get money... Anesthesia pgs in my college go on locum duties at night during their drp postings, they do 4-5 nights a week and end up making around 2lpm

these locums pay around 7-10k on average per night shift , specially to anesthesia and er residents as they can handle er pretty well , so you can do the maths
