How to Get Medical Jobs : How to Become a Surgeon

[Latino1045]

so how many years will it be to be an actual surgoen once your done

[gustavo37209]

don't forget that even once you become a surgeon you still have to go to classes, lectures and demonstrations to learn new techniques and learn how to operate new instruments and machines that are invented every so often.

[Shizmixin]

Thumbs up if this prick looks like Tony Stark!

[pcortes1987]

i got my college paid by the army so might as well do it. hahaa

[locomoco453]

@pcortes1987 do they pay for everything

[pcortes1987]

@locomoco453 yup just got out and i looking into 7 year degree and i must finish threw or if i decided to drop out i pay for the entire thing...

[c032970]

while in resedency will you be paid or not until residency is complete

[batman123989]

so what if you will be 36 or 31,you'll be making 4-500,000 or even more a year.Thats a good deal for 12 years out your life....

[MishaChan05]

I'm 17 and I still don't know what to be... I want to be a doctor :( but I don't know if Ive got the potential. And I love helping people. I want a good salary too. My parents don't think I can do it and told me I should stick to pharmacy... But I don't know if I'll like that career.

I'm soooo flustered! T____T sigh.... Hope I can get a medical internship to see what it's like.. Maybe... :(

And can anyone give me a list of good medicine careers?

[mrxd17]

@MishaChan05 1. Pharmacist 2. Anesthesiologist 3. Surgeon 4. Advanced-Practice Nurse I hope you figure out what you want to be, I still looking into these career choices.

[EasternMerchant]

@mrxd17 surgeon is the highest paid of all professions.

[The3nlightened0ne]

@MishaChan05 If you want a good salary, yet an easier pursuit, take up engineering or work in IT. Both take less than 6 years to achieve, yet the you'll experience beautiful courses in mathematics and advanced physics

[Ichvyenichalster]

Lets see I'm 16 and just starting college studying electrical engineering and computer/ material science. So I'll be 29 by the time I'm a general surgeon. and that's just general, im planning for neurosurgery

[Ichvyenichalster]

I'll be 24 

[enwokoye]

I can't stop now. I am already two years through medical school. I am on my way to becoming a surgeon. Remember, its not about how it long takes or about how much you will earn. It`s about how are going to change people lives when they need you the most using what medical science has to offer.

[TheTofuGod]

@carfan2k2 thank you

[carfan2k2]

you left out the part where you can mention that by the time you start residency , you're most likely to be half a million in debt

[Ichvyenichalster]

@carfan2k2 Yeah if you don't have good amount of money to start with, or if you didn't receive federal financial aid, or you didn't academically excel and receive scholarships, then yes you would be knee deep in debt... but once you are a surgeon you're already making tripple digits on starting salary (after residency) which is pretty insane.

[carfan2k2]

@Ichvyenichalster i dont know dude -- in my own opinion -- its not worth it to spend a third of someone's life just in school .. even residency is a type of school .. surgery is too long

[Ichvyenichalster]

@carfan2k2 Well the time commitment is pretty hectic, but once someone has devoted themselves to a field like this, they start to forget that they might have been doing it for themselves in the first place, and it all becomes about the people you have the opportunity to save. Even if it's just for a decade of work.

[gilbjimenez]

@gorillagirlgorilla But think about the outcome when your done? You'll be 36 anyways. Why waste your dream when this point in your life will come anyways?

[valdezmiguel2]

cool, this guy isn't even a surgeon.

[mtb416]

Being a surgeon DOES NOT MEAN you'll have the ability to pick out a proper tie.

[Oasix21]

@TheTofuGod its not about the money it about making life better for people.

[pjhart15]

Hi I suck at reading a tellaprompt!



[TheJack0Phantom]

so that makes me umm...1000 years old when im done?

[CorNelL31]

@gorillagirlgorilla

would you entrust your life to somebody who had like 3-4 year college , its normal to take that much time, in that residency you must perform like a list of 500 surgeries like 3 times each and assist at least that number .... and sadly even after this type of training there are still doctors ..let's say ... not very good ones

[mrwill2408]

@gorillagirlgorilla hehe bummer 4 u :D

[2JZGTTTE]

Well...fuck that!

[dlc208]

you guys are talking like idiots....you don't know the first thing that being a doctor is about...

[TheBookArchive]

"Talking like idiots." You should know.

[NJsBiggestAssHole]

Im ill be 19 in community college (Biology degree) then when im like 21 i will transfer to Stockton College(BA in Biology), Then with Jesus Faith when turn 23 i get into NY medical school (M.D). then i do residency for 6 years then BAM im 29 with a job i want! and i could go to Las Vegas every year and buy sex or buy women for sex

[mike02601]

I'm sure you'll be a great doctor thinking the way your thinking.... It's more plauseble you will be doing blue colar jobs......

[islespatrick]

2.7 that is easy

[DarkBlazeXD]

3.7

[TheBookArchive]

3.75...or higher

[DarkBlazeXD]

@TheBookArchive wow big difference

[Tockwork]

I was told by a nurse: after the 8 years of schooling and the additional year of internship the pay actually becomes decent. Your residency is all you need to finish in order to open up your own joint or practice. So, 27 will be the age when you can afford that nice apartment or car.

[jujjuj123]

Oh wow I'm gonna send my kid to the philippines he'll graduate at 14 or 13 then send him to college where he'll finish it as fast as possible like 2 years then apply to med school 4 years then 5 year residency. so when he's done he's 24 then go to america and get a job. Ta da!!!! a 24 year old surgeon the age at which most people are at their 2nd year of med school

[fanofjapanandmusic]

ok sure but he just lost all of his youth just like that...taadaa!

[KirbyPwnz13]

I'll be 31.... nice.

[realistic4you]

That's it? Peice of cake.

[KirbyPwnz13]

lol

[chiangxiong]

Hang in there. I'm 25 and still have not applied to medical school. You can do it if you really want to. Just do NOT get married or have any kids.

[indian838]

Wow thanks that really helps and motivates me to do better in school now!

[Nipponkoku]

How rewarding in the end! :)

I'm going to med school... going into hematology/oncology. I won't be 36... but I'll be 31 when I'm done :O

But like I said. What rewards there are.

[indian838]

Rewards will be great my friend, like just all the things you want or wished for as a child you can get, and also the joy to help people!

[jobsATentelli]

Or email me at Entelli Consulting, I cant get you a job as a surgeon but if you are a therapist, RN,Pharmacist or CNA I can put you to work ASAP

[ToneToneBadone]

my dream is to be a surgeon!

[k2evans118]

what isthe min. wage for a surgeon?

[indian838]

I don't know, but people say about $300,000 a year or on just 1 surgery, but that is for spinal surgeons, which i want to become.
