Anesthesiology
I have been thinking about becoming an anesthesiologist for a few years now. Incase you didn't know, anesthesiologists put people to sleep before doctors perform surgery and they also monitor the patients while the doctors work on them.
Anesthesiologists must be very precise and good at math to do their job well. They use this thing called anesthesia to put people to sleep. They have to be extra careful with the dosage of anesthesia they give their patients. If they give them too much, they may not wake back up or complications may arise. If too little anesthesia is given, they may wake up during surgery and that'd probably be really scary for the patient and the doctor.
This job, yet very tasking at times, makes very good money. On average, the annual salary for an anesthesiologist is around $300,000.
I think I would like this job because it's still in the medical field, but it's not performing surgeries. I'm not sure if I could handle the whole surgeon thing, so I think this would be more my speed. I'm also pretty good at math, which would probably come in handy in this career. Obviously the money would be a nice factor in this career choice. (I'd finally get an escalator in my dream house, GABE.)
On the downside, it takes a long time to become an anesthesiologist. Long, hard years of college are what it takes to get to do this job.
The first thing that must be done is get a bachelor's degree. After that, take four more years to earn a medicinal degree. The final step is residency, which lasts for four more years. Twelve years in all is what it takes.
I'm sure in the long run, it's worth twelve years of schooling because it'd be helping people and making a lot of money in the process, which doesn't sound too bad to me.
