Alright so this time I am going to focus on the profession
of being a Pediatrician. This has
actually been an option that I have been considering for a very long time. The idea of being around kids a lot and
helping them out sounds really fun to me because I love playing around with
them and working with them… but of course I’d be in it for the money as well. Duh. These
guys make bank! The average starting
salary of a pediatrician out of residency is $135,000, but overall salary averages
out to just over $175,000. However if
you want to get technical about it and go into the specific high-paying
positions of pediatrician specialists like neurologists or surgeons, they can
make sometimes $450,000 a year. Of
course in order to make all this money in the first place I would have to go
through medical school for way more than the average four years and eventually
probably pay off some super bogus outrageous bank loans. But it’s whatever. Kids are cool and I think I could have a
blast.
Now being a pediatrician would require A LOT of work, something
I’m not too fond of… BUT, after
everything’s said and done and all the hard stuff is over with, the fun
begins. As a pediatrician, I would
perform all the necessary procedures that a normal doctor would too, just the
same way they would, only with children, mostly children (technically they are
allowed to be the doctor of anyone under the age of 21, but I don’t wanna deal
with some old dude, it’d be weird). “Pediatricians diagnose and treat infections, injuries, and many types of
organic disease and dysfunctions. They work to reduce infant and child
mortality, foster healthy lifestyles, and ease the day-to-day challenges of those
with chronic problems,” according to About.com
(don’t know if I cite or not?) Now
doesn’t that sound nice! I’d be like a
super hero and everyone would love me!
Anyways, that’s all I really have time for right
now. Sorry if it’s shitty, it probably
is. I’ll try to make a better post next
time, when I talk about some other serious job I like, or maybe it won’t be
serious, who knows.
I totally agree with you on helping with kids; it would be a blast! Not very many people would agree with us on that though. With your brain Erik you could easily become a Pediatrician, and you are very capable of doing all the work. I believe in you and I know you will succeed!
ReplyDeleteEric I genuinely believe you would be a great pediatrician:D You are such a fun-loving guy, and I'd be sure that when a nervous kid steps into a hospital room with you in it, the fears will wash away and you'll bring a smile to every one of their faces:D Continue to work hard(totally agree it sucks haha) but you'll reach your goal!
ReplyDeleteERIK!!!!!! I too have wanted to become a pediatrician for a long time! You're right, the road to becoming a pediatrician requires A LOT of hard work, but I truly believe that you can do it!
