First, we need to calculate the total lifetime income for each profession.

For the surgeon:
Total years worked = 30 years
Annual salary = $230,540
Total lifetime income = $230,540 x 30 = $6,916,200

For the pharmacist:
Total years worked = 30 years
Annual salary = $114,950
Total lifetime income = $114,950 x 30 = $3,448,500

To find the difference in lifetime income, we subtract the total lifetime income of the pharmacist from the total lifetime income of the surgeon:

$6,916,200 - $3,448,500 = $3,467,700

Therefore, the answer is C) $3,467,700.
