Licensed Practical Nurse

Duties and Responsibilities: a nurse who cares for people who are sick, injured, convalescent, or disabled

Salary: $41,540

Education: a state-approved training program

This job is very helpful to people who are injured or elderly. I would not like to work as a LPN. I have no interest in this job or in the medical field. 

Oncologist

Duties and responsibilities:  collect medical histories and perform physical evaluations in addition to basic administrative duties, such as maintaining records, coordinating with other medical personnel, and managing the work of staff

Salary: median annually $217,856

Education: Doctor of Medicine degree

 Although this job seems to pay well I wouldn’t like to be an oncologist. The doctor does work on the field but there’s also a lot of paperwork and I don’t like that. 

Biomedical Engineer

Duties and Responsibilities: design and develop medical devices such as artificial hearts and kidneys, pacemakers, artificial hips, surgical lasers, automated patient monitors and blood chemistry sensors

Salary: $143,000 annually

Education: 4 year post-secondary education/training  

I think I would like to study biomedical engineering because something you make or design can help someone in need. You can make a prosthetic leg and give them ability to walk and do things they never thought they could.

Autogenic Training

Duties and Responsibilities: To achieve deep relaxation and reduce stress.

Salary: $35,000-$142,000

Education: A medical field in autogenic training.

Autogenic Training seems interesting for me to practice but not as an actual career. 

Auricular Therapy

Duties and Responsibilities: Provide treatment for symptoms and disorders using needles and small electrical currents. May provide massage treatment.

Salary: $81,830 a year

Education: Master's Degree or First Professional Degree

Anything that has to do with needles is a no for me. I don’t like needles in myself so I wouldn't be able to put them into someone else.

Anesthesiologist

Duties and Responsibilities: Administer and manage the anesthesia given during surgeries.

Salary: $343,000 each year

Education: 12 years of post-secondary education

Reflection: I would not like to be an anesthesiologist because of all the years of school don’t seem worth it to me. I have no interest in a medical career.
