What job should I look into out of these 3?

Brooke C.Brooke C.


I'm a senior in high school trying to figure out what to do with my life.

I'm graduating early in the winter.

I'm thinking about joining this club at my high school that lets you go to the hospital and follow around doctors too which might look good on a college application.

My grades are:

Usually A+ to B-

And rarely but sometimes C+.

I really want to go into a medical field.

But willing to look into other things too.

I have these on my list:

Radiologist.

Nurse Practitioner.

Pediatrician.

and I few more but I don't think my grades are good enough to get into those.

What grades does each require?

How many years?

Do these get payed decent also?

I haven't really looked at these details but this is what might help me decide.

If you're thinking about entering the medical field, you have to worry about medical school first (or nursing school, if you decide to go that route).

Typically medical schools look for a 3.6 GPA or above. To get into the most competitive schools, you need upwards of a 3.8. As far as "how many years" goes, it depends. After completing your 4 years of medical school, you would have had experience working in numerous fields in the hospital. Then I'm sure you'd be able to pick which specialty you want to enter. After those 4 years you have to complete a residency. Residency is basically hell. Upwards of 80-hour weeks, extremely small pay, and all sorts of other stresses.

After residency some doctors complete fellowships, which helps establish yourself in a field. After this, you should be a practicing doctor :)

If you want to be a nurse, I'm not so sure how the process is. I just know of nursing school and passing your nursing exams. I think that might be it. GOOGLE IT

A radiologist and a pediatrician are both doctors - and you don't decide on a specialty until you're well into medical school - about 7 years after high school.
