Career Choice
UN 100
Career Choice My dream career is to become a pediatrician. In order for me to fulfill my dream career I would need to graduate with a MD. It’s mandatory to me to pursue this specific degree, I don’t have a choice. A pediatrician is a type of doctor who sees new born infants all the way to teenagers of the age of 18. I know this job will require lots of patience dealing with not only the child but the parents as well. This career choice will require me to stay in school longer than normal education. I will be required to attend four years of college to receive my Bachelor's degree. Then three years of residency and four years of medical school. In order to get accepted into medical school you must take the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test), which tests your abilities in the natural sciences.
About 90% of all applicants with over a 3.8 and 39 cumulative MCAT get accepted. And only about 10% with an MCAT below a 20 get accepted. It's extremely competitive, and I have to make myself stand out and work really hard. Since I will be working in the medical field, I feel it’s best for me to volunteer activities during college, volunteering at your local hospital or homeless shelter. It is important to me to show that I have an interest in the medical field by working in some manner around medical people whether it is getting a summer job in a pharmacy or in a nursing home as a nurse's aide. I am a student whose achievements and accomplishments, academically, or in extracurricular activities will set me apart from other students. My ambition will get me to where I need to go, and that’s on the road to success.
