In elementary school, your teacher would ask everyone in the class what they wanted to be when they grew up. The typical responses from your classmates were a firefighter, a policeman, and, of course, a doctor. Majority of the times, the responses some of those kids gave were not what they actually grew up to be, and that\u2019s okay. People don\u2019t really determine what they want to do with their life until they hit high school.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you do get into high school, that\u2019s when you start going on campus tours and really have to buckle down on what you want to do with your life. Your counselor\u2019s advice is to follow your passion but as a teenager about to embark on the journey of a lifetime, you want to know where the money is! That\u2019s what\u2019s going to help you determine what you want to take up in college!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShow Me the Money!\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

The medical field is definitely where you can make the most money, especially as a doctor. I mean, think about it, there will always be a need for healthcare, plus, being a doctor is for everyone\u2026 the profession is pretty much the epitome of survival of the fittest! From the long nights if studying, grueling tests, stress, and responsibility\u2026 not too many people can survive all of that and live to tell about it, and for those who can, get the BIG BUCKS!<\/span><\/p>\n

You, of course, want to love what you do and be passionate about it in order to be a good doctor. <\/span>The National Center for Biotechnology Information<\/span><\/a> talks about what it actually takes to be a good doctor. Take a look at some of the highest paying careers where you can get the best of both worlds\u2026 you can love what you do and make a lot of money doing it!<\/span><\/p>\n

Surgeon<\/span><\/h3>\n

A surgeon\u2019s salary can be anywhere from $250,000 to over $350,000\u2026 and understandably so! These types of doctors literally have people\u2019s lives in the palms of their hands. It can take about 10 to 12 years of education and required training to even be able to qualify to practice. <\/span><\/p>\n

You have to think, they have college, medical school, and then they have to complete a residency somewhere\u2026 and that can sometimes take four years to complete! The world of surgery is definitely a field where there will always be a need for a surgeon, so if you are considering this field, just know that you will definitely have to put in the time, dedication, and hard work but it will certainly PAY off in the end.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obstetrician and Gynecologist (OB\/GYN)<\/span><\/h3>\n

An OB\/GYN focuses on female sexual health as well as reproductive health. Many people tend to think that an OB\/GYN\u2019s sole responsibilities and duties are vaginal exams and delivering babies but these physicians actually do their fair share of surgical procedures as well including Cesarean sections.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rigors associated with being an OB\/GYN definitely has its challenges but overall most <\/span>gynecologists lead happy lives<\/span><\/a> outside of work, especially when they have a salary of over $187,000 to play around with. In order to get to that point, you have to go to school for at least a decade and once you\u2019ve made it that far, you then need to find a job.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t just walk into an OB\/GYN office and say \u201chire me!\u201d To <\/span>find a career in gynecology<\/span><\/a>, you need to use a search engine tool made specifically for physicians.<\/span><\/p>\n

Psychiatrist<\/span><\/h3>\n

You have doctors of the body and then you also have doctors of the mind. Psychiatrists are doctors that care for our mental health. Just because a psychiatrist doesn\u2019t perform surgeries, that doesn\u2019t mean they don\u2019t have an extensive educational career.<\/span><\/p>\n

To be a psychiatrist, you would still have to go to medical school, spend years doing a residency, and go to school even longer to prescribe medications. Because psychiatry has a direct correlation to physical health, a psychiatrist gets paid at the same level as a medical doctor making a salary anywhere from $180,00 to $200,000 or more!<\/span><\/p>\n

Do You Have What It Takes<\/span><\/h2>\n

All of these careers are some of the highest paid positions in medicine today but it doesn\u2019t come easy\u2026 it takes lots of sacrifices. It\u2019s easy to want those salaries but are you willing to put in the work to get them? Not too many people do, so choose your career path wisely.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
