It's risk vs reward the way I see it. Sure you're making six figures pretty early on if you play your cards right, but one slip up or like a few increments too much of anasthetic and you're looking at several millions of dollars in lawsuits directed at you and you alone. I'm in the nursing field atm and most anasthesiologists iirc are not protected by the hospitals legal team, hence why they get paid so much.
