Brooke Glass 10/25/11 Hour: 2 Career Technology

Pediatricians help make children feel better everyday. I have wanted to work as a pediatrician for a long time now. I get more interested when I research the project. For this project I need to research earnings, responsibilities, and working conditions.

� Pediatricians are dedicated to the health and well-being of infants, children, and young adults. � We need to go to school for 8 years. � They help children keep up with their health. � They talk to the children one on one and help them with their problems.

o I would say this job is physical and mental. I would say mental because there is a lot of schooling and thinking. o This is physical because they do a lot of running around. o o This job is indoor. o o You are mostly working in a patient room or office. Pediatricians work about 50 hours a week. That includes after hour calls, patient rooms, and in an office.

�I will need 4 years of medical school, at least 3 years of residency (on the job training), and in addition, a bachelors degree. � Classes I will take now are classes that have to do with medical conditions. � I plan on going to Michigan State University because it is a good medical school. � I will need to keep my grades up to get into a good college.

� The outlook for a pediatrician is good and is continuing to rise. � I am undecided on where I want to stay and work, but most likely I will stay in Michigan. � I am not sure what place I would like to try and work at, but I want good employees. � I want to work at a place with a great environment and some place that everyone wants to go.

� When I get enough money I want to buy a big house. � Pediatricians earn $155, 000 a year. � This does fit my goals. � First, I will probably want to buy a nice car with this money.

�I would like to be a day care worker for an alternate job. � Day care workers only make $34, 233. � They mostly work indoors with kids, they have to keep the children occupied and happy. � I chose this because I love kids and making them happy.

I am most looking forward to helping children. I want to make them feel better. I am mostly looking forward to always being around children and good people. I am not looking forward to giving shots and all the schooling. I learned a lot of new information. I knew that you made a lot of money but I wasn’t sure how much.
