A doctor or physician is a person who helps and heals others to get better, and they are licensed to practice medicine. Becoming a doctor or physician is not easy, it takes 12 years of school ( K-12), 4 years of college, 4 years of medical scchool, and 3 or more years of residency. The amount of money a doctor makes depends on which field he or she specialize in. For example the average salary for a general doctor is $150,000 and the average salary for a general surgeon is $255,000. This would be my career because I love to learn, help others in need, I'm neat and organized, and I manage myself well.
