Future/career/college planning [[help please]] - psychiatrist?

Okay, I feel idiot but I've been researching so much already. Can anyone help me with my career/college/future paths and my questions? [[sorry if some of them seem common sense answers]] First of all, i want to be become a psychiatrist, which I know will take bachelor's degree, 4 year medical studies/training, 2-4 years residence training. 1. Do I take separate college and separate medical school? or do i just pick one. 2. Is the medical admission test expensive? 3. What are the best colleges and/or medical schools 4. Their average fee 5. What is residence training? 6. Where do I get that? 7. Do you think it's worth becoming a psychiatrist? 8. Do you think the chances of getting a job after studying would be high or low? 9. Any other information you think i will need. thanks

  1. Sometimes you can go to just medical school and they'll provide residence training which is hands on
  2. Just go as an undergrad premed or biology? Whatever the medschool you want to go to requires. Residence training is where you work in the enviornment- supervised. I know at the university of tennessee you get paid well during your residency.. (you get it at the school) I think it's worth it. I would love to be one, but I have kids and no time/money for all the schooling. Easy to get a job as a psychiatrist, very well paying, & rewarding emotionally! :)
