What schooling do i need to become a pediatrician?
Well just make sure you can get into a strong accredited university where you can being your undergrad to later become a doctor. Start making habits of getting All A's and B's while you are in High-School because it's not something you just do out of nowhere. Make sure you excel in Biology, which you have most likely already taken and Chemistry. Physics and your math courses will also play a key part. If you want to perhaps speed up the process...take some AP courses. AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Language and AP Psychology are going to be used for the Pre-Med. You should prepare yourself for college and try to graduate with at least a 3.5. Take the MCAT and try to score well. If you pass the MCAT then you can begin to apply to Medical School. Best majors would be Biology, Chemistry or Pre-Med. Once you are in Medical School it will be an extremely rigorous 4 years. You will be busy most of the time and there will be several difficult exams to pass. After you finish Medical School there will be several residential programs available that you must do. These residency programs will make you into the doctor you will one day become. It will be intense 70-80 hours a week although they will start to pay you at this point. Around $40,000 and you will spend about 3-5 years in Residency. After you finish the final part of Residency and the exams... Congradulations! You are now a Doctor. Good Luck and I hope you prevail!

Should I go direct to University or transfer from Community College?
I think you are very wise for your age. I teach at a community college and have taught previously at a university. Once you get your B.A. or B.S. no one will really care if you went to a C.C. Both my children went to a C.C. for at least one year for exactly the same reasons you outlined above. The only thing you have to be careful about is to take the same classes that you will need to continue your major later on. For the most part, the first two years are pretty similar really, no matter what you decide to major in. It's certainly cheaper to "try out" various classes at the CC level, to see if you have an interest in pursuing them. If you do have some idea what you might want to study, and if you know where you want to eventually transfer to, get a copy of their catalog, or download their degree requirements from their website. Follow the prerequisites and general degree requirements as best you can. If you have any doubt talk to a transfer counselor. You are very mature and far-sighted to be thinking of all these factors. Good luck to you!

What subjects do i need to take to become a pediatrician?
After graduating from high school, a student that wants to become a Pediatrician must finish: four years of college four years of medical school one year of a Pediatrics internship two years of a Pediatrics residency You should start out making sure that you meet the minimum requirements for attending medical school, which usually includes the following premedical college courses (but may vary between different medical schools): one to two years of Biology, including labs (8 to 14 semester hours) one year of Physics, including labs (8 semester hours) one year of English (6 semester hours) two years of Chemistry, including one year of Organic Chemistry, and labs (16 semester hours) one year of Calculus (6 semester hours) It might also be helpful to take classes in biochemistry, zoology, anatomy, statistics, microbiology, physiology, immunology, genetics, and cell physiology. Keep in mind that you don't have to major in biology to become a doctor. It might make it easier to have a natural sciences major though, since the above requirements will be part of your major. If you have a different major, like economics, then you will likely have to take these classes as electives, in addition to all of the regular classes in your major. On the other hand, you don't want to take a lot of classes in a major that you aren't really that interested in. So balance your own interests with the premed course requirements for the school you are interested in attending when choosing a college major.
Should I become a doctor or become a lawyer? I’m 16. What's the average salary? How many years of studying does it take? How hard is it get into a program at a respectable university? How hard is it to get a job, and what’s life like, outside work?
Doctors are folk heroes who literally save lives. Lawyers are the butt of endless jokes and derision. Shakespeare did not counsel that we should "first, kill all the doctors". And consider this: doctors are the only people who can actually trump police and tell them "No, you are not going to do that". Try doing that as a lawyer. Doctors are famously bad at financial investments. But consider how it is that they attained this distinction: they make obscene amounts of money that has to be invested. Lawyers, on the other hand ... well, how many cases have you heard of a doctor stealing his patient's money? I am a lawyer and I am proud to be a defender of the Constitution. I love my work and I love every day that I face off against a government intent on trying to intervene in every aspect of our lives. I get tremendous satisfaction from being a lawyer. But I have to admit that doctors hold a more prestigious place in our society, so if that's important to you, there you go. Finally, consider what it means to be on call 24 hours a day on duty as a physician; what it means to have a day full of 10 minute appointments poking at flabby bodies and endless complaints of pain. Consider what life is like in a hospital residency/internship, wandering the halls at night attending to people with every manner of disease and sickness. Consider what it will mean when you are on a plane flight and the flight attendants sound the alarm: "is anyone a doctor"? Yes, you are a folk hero, but you earn your status every minute of every day. And then take a look at the lawyers in their snappy 3-piece suits walking down marble hallways into open oak chambers, spending their day sparring over intellectual issues that can change the lives of many with one stroke of a pen. Consider what it means to be a champion of freedom, of liberty, and to uphold the most noble aspirations of this great social experiment we call the United States of America. For me, the choice was easy. Good luck with yours.
