What is the salary of an average cardiologist

This is not fair to ask such a question! Any way it all depends form country to country and place to place and hospital to hospital ! In goverment some where 5 lac in India and in private it goes to many fold if he is a well known ! But they never ever go down than any one else in their Field !Always YouRsmE

Most cardiologists in the United States make somewhere between about $200,000 per year to about $600,000 per year. That sounds like a lot, & it is, but to put it in perspective, the average cardiologist *starts* his or her career (i.e. finishes training) at about the age of thirty-two, after years & years of training & education, & has about $250,000 in debt. Cardiologists work as hard or harder than most physicians, which means they routinely work 70-80 hours a week, at least one full weekend a month, & get woken up at 2 AM a couple of times a week. That is leaving aside the stress of having someone is life in ur hands as well as the possibility of being sued for malpractice, & the exposure to radiation & bloodborne infection. Remember, also, that it is not like they were choosing between being a cardiologist or working at Burger King - most people who do as well in school as it takes to go to medical school could choose instead to go to law school or be an investment banker & make a *lot* more money, at least in the short term.

those butchers make a lot, if they work with the county hospital i say 200,000 a year, if they work for a private hospital more than that, most of them works for hospitals and have own clinics.why do you think they are very rich?
butchers = doctors(any kind of doctors)

Is not it considered rude to ask someone how much money they make?

In which country?
