Cardiologist

Online research:

Duties and responsibilities: Cardiologists are physicians who have received additional training to prevent, diagnose and treat conditions of the cardiovascular system, which includes the heart and the body's blood vessels. 

Salary: a cardiologist makes about $335,500 a year.

Education: cardiologist must have a bachelor's degree in order to get into medical school. The most logical pre-med bachelor degrees include courses in chemistry, mathematics, engineering or psychology. Then one must gain a passing score on the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). The four years in medical school covers standard medical terminology, medical judgment and clinical standard procedures. Potential cardiologists who complete the ten years of educational preparation must then pass an exam administered by the American Board of Internal Medicine.

Reflection: I would not like to be a cardiologist because they need to go to school a lot. For like another 10 years after they graduate high school. That’s a lot for me.
