My career is a physician.I chose to research this carrer because it can be a real fun job to wake up to everyday.
General Duties
General duties of a physician are to examine patients; take medical histories; prescribe medications; and order, perform, and interpret diagnostic tests.
Qualifications
In order to become a physician you must complete a 4-year undergraduate degree program, spend 4 years in medical school, and then spend 3-7 years of residency training before they are eligible for medical license. It takes an average of 14 years training for the job.
The average salary amount of a physician's is $189,000. It also depends on what you choose to do as a physician. For example, a pediatrician makes $173,000 , a general surgeon makes $279,000, and the average orthopedic surgeon makes $405,000. So, as you can see there are many paths for a physician to take. So, I guess that the 14 years of studying will eventually pay off when you're on vacation in your own beach house.
Skills...
Skills that a physician should have in order to be good at their job are collaboration and cooperation. These are both manditory traits. In addition, they should have strong listening skills, communication skills, humility, etc.

DAY IN THE LIFE...
Many physicians work in small private offices or clinics, with assistance from a staff of nurses and administrative personnel. Many physicians work long, irregular hours, and must travel frequently between their offices and hospitals to care for their patients. Many physicians are on call, and must therefore deal with patient concerns either over the phone or at their patients' homes, and make emergency visits to hospitals or nursing homes. Being a doctor can be a very physically and mentally trying occupation, as they must often be the bearers of bad news, breaking painful news to patients and their families. But it can also be very rewarding to heal people and continuously improve human lives.
