Kelvin’s Answer

Hello Eli,

In general, careers in the healthcare sector necessitate a degree, meaning self-learning or quick study won't suffice. The medical field is a serious sector, as it involves expert professionals dealing with lives.

According to Forbes, the highest paying roles in the healthcare sector include cardiologists, anesthesiologists, surgeons, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons (a specialty related to dentistry). All these medical careers demand specialized skills. Therefore, if you're aiming for a high-paying job without investing significant time and effort in studying, pursuing medicine may not be the best route for you. The workload and study commitment required in medicine are immense, which could lead to stress.

In conclusion, I hope you find a career path that aligns with your interests and passions.

Niha’s Answer

If you're looking for something purely medical, there isn't really any job that doesn't require a lot of work and study for a higher level of pay. However, if you're okay with the admin or policy side of the healthcare world, getting into business classes and public health classes may be the answer. It's still 3-4 years of study, but it can be done at a much faster pace than any "working with patients" medical job.

Nicolas’s Answer

My 1st cousin who I was raised with makes 450,000 dollars a year as an ER doctor in the medical field. I wouldn't say it was either easy or hard for him. It has more to do with sustaining a lifestyle and condition well into adulthood. Leave the "extras" alone and live a well balanced and appropriate life. This way you can transfer your energy to more important career choices. If you know your potential now, don't do anything that is going to deter you, or don't do anything that is going to take your energy from studying in medical school. For example, if you want to be a medical student don't spend your time participating in unhealthy behaviors. And as far as supply and demand is going, don't think that you won't enjoy a career that tons of people have. There might be more doctors in the country than Amazon drivers, but don't be an Amazon driver if your focus is medical. Get into something now that will garner experience.

Fred’s Answer

Regardless of the field, your conditions really don't work together.

The fundamental law of supply and demand comes into play here. If something is easy to do, is easy for people to get trained to do, there will be more people who can do it, which drives the salary down.

However, things that are hard to get trained for, that only a few people can or are willing to do because it's hard will have higher salaries BECAUSE there are fewer people.

That's pretty much true the world around.

However, you should look for a job/career bases on how hard/easy it is, or how much money you make. There are some jobs you could not pay me enough to do. Other jobs might pay well, but I would find boring, or unfulfilling. Instead, look for a job/career you will enjoy. You will be spending a LOT of time in your choses career, so find something you actually look forward to doing every day. And this is going to be different for every single person.
