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

- lots of questions eh
- none of those questions really matter here is the zinger Are you passionate about this? Can you picture doing this the rest of your life? that is 60 years? those are the questions you need to ask then the others will answer themselves
- What ever makes you happy. If you are happy on what you're doing it will not feel like work to you.
- Your asking for too much.
- 1. You can do either, it doesn't matter. Most people do them separately. Chances are the college you go to won't have a medical school anyway. 2. Depends on what you would consider expensive, but yes they are costly. I'm sure they offer fee waivers that you can get if you can prove you are "poor enough." 3. http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/med/medindex_brief.php 4. It varies. Visit the website of indivdual schools or go to princetonreview.com 5. Not sure, probably the same thing as medical students, meaning you are out of the classroom and actually working hands on. 6. Medical schools will provide you with that information or places to do residency 7. If that's what you want to do, then yes 8. Not sure, not too familiar with that market 9. Remember that your undergraduate grades are VERY VERY important when you are applying to medical and graduate schools. Do NOT fool around your freshman year like 90% of other students, or you will mess yourself up.
