Ophthalmologist
 Duties and Responsibilities: Ophthalmologists are physicians who specialize in the treatment of eye disorders and diseases. They treat vision problems and write prescriptions for both pharmaceuticals and corrective eyeglass lenses. When necessary, they perform eye surgery. Most ophthalmologists are in private practice, however some are employed by hospitals or clinics, and others perform research.
Average Salary: $90,000-$150,000 Educational Requirements: Only physicians can study to become ophthalmologists. After completing medical school and an internship, an ophthalmologist must then complete a three to five year residency in an approved ophthalmology program. After completing their residency program they must pass an examination to be certified.
 Reflection: I would not want to be an ophthalmologist because I do not want to work with any type of disorders or diseases. I also know that I don’t have the stability to perform any kind of surgery.
