I plan on becoming a pediatrician but i'm worries it will be too hard and take too long.

I am going to work hard for a scholarship. I am hoping it would cover all expenses for school. Would it? I don't know if it will be too much for me. #doctor #health

Kamrynn, it is a long, hard road to earn a medical degree, but that doesn't mean it's not worth pursuing. Take science, math, and English in high school. In college, make sure you fulfill the requirements for applying to medical school for whatever major you are in. If you decide in college you don't want to keep moving forward for a doctoral degree, there are lots of other healthcare jobs relating to working with children. I decided to stop after my master's degree to work instead of pursuing my doctoral degree, because at the time it was the best choice. Enjoy yourself in between learning how to study hard!

Nancy recommends the following next steps:

Karl’s Answer

The only thing I can say is - do you want to be a Pediactrician. Never think about how long something takes when it comes to a dream that you desire. All HCP rolls will be able to pay their loans back - there are a lot of deals after residency to practice in underserved areas for 2-5 years that will assist in loan repayment. Plus these type of service areas provide a real fulfilling time in your life and will add to your overall development as a doctor. Good luck!!!
